Hello

I'm new to this site, although not all that new to being a mamma (we have a one year old who acts like a terrible two!)

My question is, do second babies generally stay inside longer ('til term?) compared to firsts, or, if my first was a bit early the second would be too?

I'd like to hear from anyone who had an earlyish first birth, what happened with the next one? (or from midwives who see and know all )

The reason I ask is that my first was born at 38 weeks, and not a moment too soon honestly, as from about 34 weeks onwards, you name it, we had it (preeclampsia, supposed GRD, constant reflux to the point where I had to sleep sitting up (couldnt!) etc etc etc)

Of course there are no guarantees, but a bit of peace of mind (or preparation) would help!

I hope to hear from you soon,

Amy
