DS2 arrived only a few days later than his brother, and it was a very quick labor (less than 4 hours). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-labor-happen-earlier-with-your-2nd#post-1414236 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:04:17 +0000 Dandelion 1414236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>32 weeks with DS then 39 weeks with S.

With DD it was 12! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-labor-happen-earlier-with-your-2nd#post-1414165 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 11:46:10 +0000 Springtime 1414165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to be induced with my first at 40 weeks because of no progress. I'm really hoping this LO decides to come on her own, before her due date! Currently 38+2. </p> <p>What was your labor experience like with #2? </p>
