Well... fingers crossed, haha. Part of me wonders if LO2 came earlier because of the prednisone I was on. I was on it for roughly the same amount of time with both babies before I went into labor - I just started it earlier with LO2 and then he came earlier. But I have no idea if one had anything to do with the other. Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-or-more-children-and-labour-started-spontaneously-both-times#post-2608445 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 13:11:26 +0000 Smurfette 2608445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: yours scares me. My water broke at 39 weeks with LO. LO2 will be 37w4d on Christmas Day.

LO1 was born 36w2d at 11:12 pm, LO2 was born 36w3d at 12:15am. They weighed exactly the same too!</p> <p>ETA water broke with both, but labor was much longer the first time. It ended up as a section, so when my water broke the second time I just went in for a RCS. </p>
