Are 2nd babies more often born before or after their due date?

Question

I've been reading and I see that a lot of first babies are born after their due dates.

My daughter was born at 38 weeks.

I'm now pregnant with my 2nd, a little boy, and just curious how other peoples 2nd experiences were? Did your 2nd baby come before or after his/her due date? Was it faster then ur first labor experience? Or was it worse?

Answer 1

Just depends on when your little one is ready.:)

My cousins first baby was born right on her due date or before.Her second child was a couple days after her due date.

Answer 2

I am the same as you. My daughter was born at 38 weeks, now I'm having a boy, I am 41 weeks pregnant and he still and my belly. I hope you don't have to wait that long. I will get induced tomorrow.

Good Luck to you and your baby boy!!!

Answer 5

Should be easier because your v****a knows what to expect....BUT, all deliveries are different.....you know the signs to look for now, so that should make it easier for you....HUGS!!

Answer 6

I haven't had children yet, so here is what my mom went through.

Me the oldest i was born 3 week early and

my sister 2nd was born 2 week late,

my brother 3rd was on time i do believe..

my mom also said that the more children you have the more it hurts,

oh and do you smoke.. i'm sure it hurts more if you smoke because they wont give pain meds. *i think that's if the baby is early*

my mom is a smoker

I hope i helped you [[==

oh congratulations on the Baby boy!!

do you have a name yet?
