    I can't vote yet as DD2 is due to arrive at the end of August.....but DD1 arrived six weeks early, so I am really keeping my fingers crossed that this next one is much later!! I'm already thinking about it because I started having problems at week 28 and I'm at week 23 now.....

    No...With DS1 I was induced at 39 weeks due to GD. DS2 had to be evicted 2 days after his due date because he was a big baby (9 lbs. 7 oz.).

    DS1...my water broke 3 days before my due date and he was born 24 hours later. I was induced though b/c my water had broken and the induction failed so he was a c/s.

    DS2 was born exactly on his due date (but barely, he was born at 12:17 AM). No induction. VBAC

    I voted "other" because, yes the second kid arrived earlier.... but so did the third, but I'm not sure it should count since they were twins. (And though they came early, they would have been coming out early no matter what -- DS1 was 40w5d, and they weren't going to let me get to 38w with two in there sharing one placenta.)
