If you went post dates for your first baby....

**AliBaby** · January 10th, 2013, 08:18 PM

Did you then go post dates for your second or subsequent baby/ies?

I was 13 days overdue with DD. I have been preparing myself that I'll be overdue with this one. Am I right o think this way? Happy to be proved wrong!

10 days over for DD (1st) - on due date for DS (2nd). I always expected DS to be late until got to about 34 weeks then I got the feeling he wouldn't be as late as his sister and was proved right. Is easier to expect to be late and then not be I reckon.

DD was born at 41 weeks, DS at 40 weeks +6days. 1 day earlier for me

I reckon expect to go long, and just cope with a surprise if bub does come early.

That is a good news story Wysiwig!

Thanks Hoti. I think you're right then I might be pleasantly surprised.

Second babies are good
