I'm wondering the same...my first was 2 days over due, second was 11 days early so will this one come early? Also first labor was 9 hrs., second was almost 4 hrs. so will this one come in just 2 hrs.
@mommyfor3 I hope people respond and help us....lol.....I am 37 weeks and 1.5 centimeters and 50% efaced as of last Thursday........I keep having contractions but nothing regular.....:/
I'm 34+4 but I think I am actually farther along, like 36 weeks...(I know when we had sex) but at my first ultrasound Dr. moved my due date back 11 days, so I keep wondering is baby coming in a couple weeks...like around 38 weeks like with baby #2? I haven't been checked yet but I'm having lots of contractions
@mommyfor3 I asked my doctor about having a quicker delivery time and she said you can pretty much count on it. But I didn't ask her specifically about the baby coming earlier then the due date part....... I hope people respond and let us know what they have expireinced ya know....
well this one doesn't look like she is coming any time soon, stubborn girl! this is my third as well. my first was 2 wks early to the day, my second was 1 wk early to the day. I will be 39w on tuesday and I am still waiting. boo! so i wouldn't say to predict your third baby's arrival
as far as delivery time... i would pray for something quicker! my first was 20 hrs and my second was 9 hrs. i keep telling hubby "maybe, just maybe, she will be 4-5 hrs"
@survivormommie3 I hoping my labor will be fast...but I hope daddy can make it there in time to see baby be born if he is at work when I go into labor! Last time I was only in labor 3 hrs. 50 min and he works out of town
Here's how my kids came if it helps: 1st - 1 day early 2nd - 2 weeks late 3rd - 2 days early 4th - 2.5 weeks early 5th - 1 week early 6th - 6 days early 7th - 3 days late 8th - 4 days late
My first was 10 days early and active labor was about 12-14 hrs, my second was 7 days early and active labor was only 5 hours, this is my third and im only 3 days to my due date. Maybe my babies just want to keep coming later lol
I had my first two within two years so that probably helped my labor with my second son go half as long. Ive heard over 3 yrs between and babies and your body isnt really helped that youve given birth before. This one is coming 5 years later than my second.
@mommyfor3 My first was horrible, like 36 painful hours (i went natural) the second was induced & took 14 hours, the third was around 12 hours & they've all gotten shorter since. My last one was about 8 hours. So I would def say they get shorter, my labors just tend to be kind of long considering I've had so many. However, once I get to 8 or so cm it goes really super fast. My last 3 have had broken collar bones from going so fast.
@mommyfor3 lol sorry hun! it was a shock to me as well since I assumed it would be my shortest pregnancy and labor haha they expected him to come been 30&36wks and I went until 39+4 lol my first labor was only 5 hrs and I was induced...my third was 26 hours..i keep telling people he heard how crazy his brothers are and decided to chill inside as long as he could haha everyone and every pregnancy is different so it's hard to say...i wish you luck though and hope it's your shortest labor! ;-)
my mum had me 2 weeks late (hour labour), 2nd baby 2 weeks early (3 hour labour) 3rd baby 6 weeks early (28 hour labour, 4th baby 4 weeks early no labour he just kinda came haha
so i think everyone/every pregnancy is different x
I dont know about when baby will come but I hope its sooner. Lol. My 1st was 3 day past, and it was a 13 or 14 hour labor. My 2 I had induced at 39 weeks, and he was a 7 hour labor. This is #3 and I really hope she comes on her own early but im going to be induced as soon as he lets me. And I am also hoping for a faster delivery. Although I dont mind how long I am in labor cuz Im getting the epi.

Sorry, doesn't seem to be a pattern.
