    How many mums have similar length pregnancies?

    It's my due date today and after going a week overdue with my first, I thought I'd ask if anyone had similar length pregnancies with each of their kids? I'm really hoping I don't have to wait a whole more week...or more...

    Hi Meg,

    As I have only had the one bub so far I can't comment but I know that my Grandma was 1 week early with her first, 5 weeks early with her 2nd, on time with her 3rd and 1 week over with her 4th. My Mum has me on time, my brother 1 week early and my other brother 1 week early too.

    So it really doesn't seem to make a difference... just whenever bubs is ready!!

    Good luck with everything and can't wait to hear all about it!!

    Mine were different, DD I went into spontaneous labour with her at 36 weeks, DS I was still going at 38 weeks.

    My first two happened with spontaneous rupture of membranes at 37wks - then at 27wks, and I'm hoping for my third one to make it to the c-section day at 38 weeks!

    Jack arrived 2 days late and the ob was expecting much the same for Tom. He actually arrived 3.5 weeks early but I had been very sick with gastro and the ob thinks that brought it on.

    I have been 1 day early, 1 day late and on my EDD. Not counting on that meaning anything for this baby though, but it would be nice if it was in the vicinity of his due date.

    My first was on his EDD, second exactly 1 week late, third on EDD and fourth 1 day late, so I've been all over the place.

    my first was 5 weeks early after spontaneous rupture of membranes, second one induced at 38.5 weeks (although i was already 3 cm dilated so he would have come pretty soon on his own anyway). im 26 weeks' pregnant with the third but judging by the first two im guessing i wont make it to my due date.

    good luck!
