    It's on my mind

    I'm only 23 weeks so not quite 3rd tri.
    But it's been on my mind a fair bit and it's related to 3rd tri. so here go's

    Baby one was 42 weeks gest so two weeks over due
    Baby two was 42 weeks gest again two weeks over due

    SO with both previous babys being over due do you think this baby will be likely to be overdue as well?
    What do you think?

    Oh gosh, I just read that you have HG - to you.

    I've only had the one bub so far so couldn't comment from personal experience - I think bubs tend to come in their own time though. Will your caregivers suggest induction if you do go 'over'? Can you look into natural induction methods if it is of concern to you?

    Yep, sounds like you make a comfy home in there - your babies like to hang about, chances are #3 will follow suit

    I'm roughly the same as you - both girls were well overdue and I'm not expecting this one to be any different.

    I was afraid you'd all say that. Blow!
    Spose a gal can hope.
    Was so wishing someone might say with some conviction that "na everything will be fine and it will come by it's due date".
    Natural methods have not worked in the past.
    And funnily enough each birth experience has been just like the respective childs personality.
    First one was threatened with being forcably evicted and decided to come.
    The next had to be forcably evicted. Yep thats her.
    sigh will have to wait and see for this one.

    Number 1 - late induced
    Number 2 - 39 weeks
    Number 3 - late induced

    I'm hoping this one follows no.2.

    I spose the only good thing about induction is we'll have some idea when the big day will be. But I kind of liked the surprise with number 1.

    You never know..... Hope you're not waiting so long this time!
    I've had 2 long gestations also, so would probably expect another long one if it were me

    You just make it too comfy in there!

    Who knows this one may surprise you and come 2 weeks early!

    My mum had six children and there was no pattern to when we were born. A couple were up to three weeks early, some were late and I think I was on time!
