I just wanted that time window like the cable guy, if you could show on this day, between 10 and 2, that world be grrrrrrreat.</p> <p>Forgot to say, my stats were just like yours, baby obviously hanging on by it's claws not falling out! Fortunately there's less to do when real labor hits, but it's also super frustrating for the doc to say, "see you soon" then make it until the next appointment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1/page/2#post-2317755 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 12:42:38 +0000 hilsy85 2317755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: ugh false labor is terrible!!! </p> <p>@Ms.Badger: well I'm 39w5d today so we'll see :silly: </p> <p>I am also now 4cm and 50% effaced--how is this baby not falling out of me?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1/page/2#post-2317218 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 00:12:57 +0000 Ginabean3 2317218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: wow crazy! Yah with #2 third tri was so freaking long....and I had no idea how uncomfortable it would be!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1/page/2#post-2317134 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 20:51:14 +0000 MrsSRS 2317134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: Yes. Exactly. Grateful and also tired and done. Mine were 30 and 6 and 40 and 3!<br /> @hilsy85: don't sweat the big baby! My first was tiny, my second was 9 pounds, and I only needed two stitches :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1/page/2#post-2317019 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 18:50:02 +0000 Ms.Badger 2317019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hopefully you are just like me... I had L at 39+2 and my water broke with J on 39+5. I had an induction scheduled for Monday (40+1) because I wanted to get the show on the road but happily he decided on his own before then. Good Luck :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1/page/2#post-2316940 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 16:15:27 +0000 lemondrop 2316940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I understand, big hugs! #1 came at 39.1 and my last two weeks were torturous with false labor with my second. #2 showed up on his due date with a much more efficient labor than my first. I walked and walked, but he wouldn't budge. I went in to get checked out since I felt bad and went into labor while waiting for triage. I had no problems pushing and everything went really well despite #2 being a bit bigger than my first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1/page/2#post-2316925 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 15:40:38 +0000 QBbride 2316925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: LO#1 came at 39 weeks and every day past 39 weeks with LO#2 was like torture. I never considered is go later with LO#2! LO#2 was born at 40+1 (went into labour on my due date and she was born just after midnight). Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1#post-2316913 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 15:29:56 +0000 hellobeeboston 2316913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: well, I think you know my story for #2 and it's probably not helpful. 10 days over, went in for my induction but was basically already in labor so needed very little intervention. At my last U.S. They thought the baby was 8.5 and he turned out to be 9.6! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1#post-2316873 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 14:35:12 +0000 Smurfette 2316873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: that makes more sense! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1#post-2316872 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 14:34:36 +0000 Jess1483 2316872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: oh my.

DD2 came a week later at 40+5. She was only 2 oz heavier though, if that helps!</p> <p>My OB started talking induction for pregnancy-induced hypertension at my 36 week appointment and saying how she really wanted me to make it to 38 weeks. The last month then felt SO LONG. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1#post-2316830 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 13:43:44 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2316830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My poor bff had her first at 38w1d, her second arrived at 41w6d just right hours before his induction.<br /> That whole last month was pretty miserable for her.<br /> Hoping baby sister arrives soon for you! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1#post-2316794 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 13:25:12 +0000 hilsy85 2316794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: ha not sure if that makes me feel better or worse...! At 5 cm I think I wojld beg to be induced! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1#post-2316789 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 13:24:07 +0000 Kemma 2316789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: if it makes you feel an better my OB did a sweep at 40+1 and said I was 4-5cm and "a ticking timebomb" who would "fly into labour" but joke was on her and I didn't go into labour until 40+5 and Felix still took all day to get out! The OB later had the audacity to tell me that I took my time while she was stitching me up...</p> <p>Hang in there!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1#post-2316722 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 12:42:58 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2316722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friends boys were both born right at 37 weeks.

Maybe I will ask my OB about it...although I feel like she would have mentioned it if it were an option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1#post-2316691 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 12:17:25 +0000 yellowbird 2316691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo1 came at 39 weeks and lo2 was still baking at 40&amp;3 when I decided to let my midwife place some prostaglandin gel. I was soooooo finished waiting </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1#post-2316690 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 12:14:43 +0000 hilsy85 2316690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: aaggghh nooo....@Tidybee: ha ok, I am going to blame you if I end up with a millionth degree tear from a huge baby! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1#post-2316680 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 12:07:10 +0000 Tidybee 2316680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Dd2 was almost 2 lbs heavier than C...but came out soooooo much easier. 2 painless pushes.

Yes. I went to 40+4 with my first and thought there was no way I'd go later with my second. Yeah, no. I was induced at 42 weeks with her - well, just shy right at 40+13. I was shocked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1#post-2316516 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 09:52:01 +0000 regberadaisy 2316516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo1 came 2 days early. #2 was scheduled for induction at 40weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1#post-2316515 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 09:50:38 +0000 Ginabean3 2316515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first came at 30w5d and my second 40w5d....I know, HUGE difference. Those last ten weeks for the second one seemed so long! But of course I was thankful she stayed in there longer than her sister! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1#post-2316495 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 09:32:27 +0000 Jess1483 2316495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First was born at 31w2d. LO2 was born at 31w6d. The days between we're by far the hardest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1#post-2316491 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 09:21:54 +0000 kodybear 2316491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd-37w5d ds-38w. Pretty close. But for my son, I had a short cervix the entire time so we thought he was coming early. Thankfully not but that last week or two felt so long. Just bc I was so sure he was coming out early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1#post-2316484 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 09:15:40 +0000 hilsy85 2316484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: ha thank you! I will send you early labor vibes when it is your turn :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1#post-2316482 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 09:14:17 +0000 travellingbee 2316482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WAH! This thread is scaring me. I went to 40+4 with DS1. I do NOT want to go longer with this one. Especially since this pregnancy sucks! Good luck! I hope you go into labor any minute! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo2-came-later-than-lo1#post-2316476 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 09:06:52 +0000 hilsy85 2316476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: that's another concern, I am scared of birthing a 9lb baby! Lo1 was 7lbs11oz...</p> <p>@travelgirl1: oh that is torturous!! </p>
