With #1 I felt I was going to go late and I did. Was induced at 40w 6d. With #2, I full expected to go earlier/before my scheduled csection date...just because that would be my luck haha I went to my csection date(39w 1d)

I thought I was going to be late by a week but I delivered right on my due date everybody was shocked caused they though I would be late too since this was my first.

@Honeygold89: Same for me! I thought/feared I'd be late but hopes to go early, and I never would have expected to go into labor right on my due date, which is what happened.

Earlier with my first - I expected to go late as she was my first baby but she arrived on her due date!
DD2 I expected to come much earlier than she did - she was fully engaged from 35 weeks on (second babies apparently don't usually engage until right before labour starts) and every midwife I saw between 35 and 39 weeks said there was no way I was making it to my due date. Right. LO2 arrived eight hours after her due date.

Earlier!i expected to go right around my due date, since we were actively ttc and I knew when I ovulated. I was very surprised to go into labor at 38+6 and he was born at exactly 39 weeks!

Earlier than I expected - because I was sure I'd go the full 2 weeks over and have to be induced! I had my baby the day before his due date.

Much later. At my 36 wk appointment, the midwife told me she doubted I would make it past 39 weeks.
LO was born at 41 weeks.

Earlier! I thought for sure I'd go past my due date. Not entirely sure what made me feel that way, just had a feeling. LO was born at 39+1.
