Baby #2 vs. #1

[britab]

Moms of 2+, when was your second child born compared to first?

I know this is a small sample size but I'm curious.

DD was born at 40w2d, wondering if baby 2 might follow similar pattern.

[lecky11]

DD1 was 39w5d. DD2 was 38w6d.

[Susan0utLoud]

Both were born at 39 + 1 I believe. Both were c section, the first unplanned and the second planned.

[comicSans]

40 and 41 + 4

[microworm]

DS1 was 40w3d and DS2 was 39w5d

[athn64]

DD1 was born at 40 weeks and DD2 was born at 39 weeks 6 days


Eta I was induced with #2 because of high bp and protein.

[NJgirl84]

DS1 was 37w3d and DS2 was 38w1d

Ds1 was 39 and 1, ds2 was 39 and 3. Both were "planned" that way - meaning membrane sweep to get labor started. Worked way faster with ds1.

[SpinsOffResonance]

Mine were both scheduled csections at 38w. Both on Monday, because that's the day my Ob is at the hospital!

[scotty138]

DS1 was 40+5, with DS2 I was induced at 39+1, but he was ready to come at any moment.

[becole]

Induced both times but 40+4 and 39+5.

[bliz1712]

DD1 was at 40+5, and Eliza was at 36+1. Eliza was eventually an induction. I was leaking fluid and it's procedure to send you to L&D and after 6 hours of nothing they started pitocin. She was my longest labor at 19 hours.

Oh yeah and both c sections; the first after laboring and the second because labor never happened and baby #2 wanted to live his entire life in the womb.

DD my first was 40 +3 (but really my labour started on my due date she just took so long to appear.

DS (number 2) was induced at 37 weeks and a 9 hour labour.

Both babies weighed exactly the same 6lbs 14oz and were 7 years apart.

DD2 (imminent) could be induced any day now as I'm getting scanned twice a week, but hopefully in 2 weeks which will make her 37 weeks.

[bazingaa]

Both spontaneous, DS1 at 40wks and DS2 at 40+6

[minae01]

I'm not a good example, but I'll respond anyway. DS1 was born at 32w3d, DS2 was born at 36w0d and DD was born at 37w0d. The last two pregnancies were aided with progesterone shots in order to keep them on longer, so there's that.

According to space fem second births aren't earlier than first. 40+2 like with DD would be fine.

Pregnancy is not my favorite. I have another vaginal infection. Explains why I have been feeling extra crappy! That makes 3 vaginal infections plus 3 yeast infections just this pregnancy.

sorry. I never had yeast infections before I was pregnant with DD and it felt like I had them nonstop. Haven't had one since she was born though.

I never had an issue before this pregnancy. Hopefully this is the last one.

[jcrewgirl]

DD was born at 40+4 and DS was born at 38+6

ETA that both were spontaneous labor, but total difference in size - I think DS ran out of room.
DD was 7 lbs 5 oz and 19.5 in
DS was 8 lbs 15 oz and 22 in
