I have a labor question?

Question

is it true that your second child will be born earlier than your first? my first child was 37 weeks (emergency c section) less than 2 years ago... i was told the uterus doesnt like expanding past the size its use to especially if you have a child less than 2 years apart...is that true? Does that make sense? i hope so..sorry if i confused anyone! :-)

Answer 1

I've never heard of that. My daughter was 17 days early and my son was born exactly on his due date. (They're 3 yrs apart.) I was induced w/ my 2nd b/c I was very uncomfortable, but that was b/c of the way he was positioned inside. I'm a petite build, so I can only stretch so far....LOL

Answer 2

Not necessarily.  It just depends on many factors ranging from your body, what the baby says, your chemistry and hormones and everything in between.  Hopefully you wont have to have an emergency c-section again, but you never know.

Answer 3

I have soon to be five and they were all a few days or more later than the older ones!

Answer 4

My two sisters were both born late. My oldest sister was born 1 1/2 weeks late and my othe rone was born almost 2 weeks late...
