Both were girls and around the same size (5 lbs 11 oz and 5 lbs 14 oz). #1 arrived at 37 wks, #2 at 39 wks. If I hadn't had an internal exam that morning I think #2 would have stuck around till her due date.

DS#1, my water broke at 37 weeks 1 day. DS#2 hung out until my scheduled csection at 39 weeks.

I have been measuring about the same with this one (week and a half behind)so I'm thinking she will also be late! lemondrop on "Was your second child born earlier than your first?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-second-child-born-earlier-than-your-first#post-1703809 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 18:58:29 +0000 lemondrop 1703809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, I was banking on this and very worried he would arrive before we had help to watch our first son.... but #2 took his sweet, sweet time. I definitely learned first hand that alllllll pregnancies are different, and even though #1 arrived at 39 weeks, that does not mean #2 will arrive any sooner- he showed up exactly at 40 weeks. kml636 on "Was your second child born earlier than your first?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-second-child-born-earlier-than-your-first#post-1703787 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 18:47:39 +0000 kml636 1703787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Most people seem to say that the second child comes a little earlier than the first? Trying to see if this is true... My first was 9 days late so I certainly hope so!
