If you went overdue with 1st baby - what happened with 2nd?
My first baby was 9 days over and never engaged properly, was quite high when my waters broke and even after 22 hours labour was still not properly established.
This baby is different, is quite low although not engaged yet, but I am getting the shooting / stabbing pains in my vagina where I can feel baby's head / arm punching me!
So I'm 38w2d and OVER it! I'm ready for this baby to come now - well ok, next week, I need my DH home & he's on his last FIFO swing at work before EDD.
So please tell me your experiences - were you overdue then overdue or overdue then early or overdue then right on time??
I went 3 days over with DD (threatened prem labour at 29 weeks but she hung on!).
I went 12 days over with DS. He was engaged at 24 weeks and I had heaps of prelabour from 36-37 weeks but he still decided to take his sweet time!
I'm hoping I'll go a few days early with this one... Just for something different! Haha!
14 days over with dd1
12 days over with dd2
11 days over with dd3
Dd2 didn't engage till labour started, dd3 still wasn't engaged when I was in labour, so I just did a lot of squats with my contractions to open my pelvis up more
DS was engaged for a while (a couple of weeks), whereas DD didn't engage before labour. Both labours my waters didn't break until the pushing stage, both labours were quite similar even though the first was induced.
I went 8 days over with DS but never went into labour on my own. I was induced, but it ended in an emergency c/s. Who knows how far over I'd have gone if I wasn't induced.
DD was engaged on and off from 32 weeks. I went into labour one day past my EDD, though I was 3 days over by the time she finally arrived!
DD1 was 14 days over and i went into spontaneous labour.
DD2 tried coming at 35 weeks(waters broke) but she changed her mind and came at 36 weeks, she never enganged until i was in full active labour
