If your 2nd + LO came later than your first, how many days later did they arrive? Please state whether you went into labor naturally or not.
DS came at 38 + 3 and I'm currently 39 + 3 and this wait is excruciating! I really hoping she comes this week but trying to mentally prepare myself I may go past my due date. 
I'm just so ready to meet her and get the L&D over with.

My daycare provider had her first 2 on her due date, and then #3 was 2 weeks late and had to be induced. I know - sooo not what you want to hear!

DS1 came at 38w 4d, and DS2 came at 39w 1d. I went into labor on my own both times. Hoping your baby girl arrives soon!

LO#1 came at 39 weeks, LO#2 came at 41+5.... (aaackk!!!)
they both came naturally, but I was already in the hospital waiting for an induction (but hadn't begun the induction) when I went into labour naturally with #2. good thing, though, cause he came fast and furious! 3hrs of labour.
the waiting was hard!! 
hope your babe comes soon!

@tysonja: oh man that's almost 2 weeks later! Oh geeze I cant imagine being pregnant another week let alone going to 41 + 5.
She is definitely letting me know each pregnancy is different !

@mrskc: ack... I feel you. I was convinced that #2 was going to be at least 2 weeks early, so I was 100% ready and expectant nearly a MONTH before he actually showed up! lol

@tysonja: Oh my, this was my thought process too! We have been ready to go for about the last 3 or 4 weeks. Boy was I wrong!!! My daughter was born on her due date and I am currently 41+1 with #2. At this point it's almost funny!

@Mrs. M: oh dear! haha... my calendar which is usually pretty filled up, was soooo empty that last month! I had so much random free time -- which in hindsight was pretty nice, I suppose! we kept having to change my mom's flight out from across the country though hope your baby arrives soon too!

@tysonja: We definitely got a lot done around the house! But, now I feel guilty I didn't take my daughter out as much as normal in fear my water would break or I would go into labor. Luckily my mom just made her flight....originally she was going to plan on early August, so I'm glad she waited! Thank you! I'm sure I will laugh at it all later.

Aww, I know it is hard. Just think about how in a month this wait will be a distant memory. I think she may be making up for her brother's early arrival... can't let you get away with not experiencing the full 80 weeks of pregnancy

#1 came at exactly 38 weeks after an internal check - my water broke there on the table.
#2 came at 40+4 after my dr did a membrane sweep, my water was broken at the hospital at 9 cm.
Hang in there!

@SugarplumsMom: this is exactly what I popped into this thread to say. Good luck and I can't wait to see her!

@tysonja: @Mrs. M: yes! This is part of the problem. I've been ready now for over a week. I've been trying to find more things to occupy myself. I suppose I should just enjoy the quiet right now.
@Radish: @Boogs: @SugarplumsMom: @lamariniere: @NovBaby1112: thank you all! I really hope I don't have to wait much longer!

@tysonja: @Mrsjets: was there a big difference in how much your Los weighed? DS was 7lbs 7 oz born at 38 weeks. Makes me worried she's going to be a lot heavier. But I suppose maybe she's just growing slower?

@mrskc: hang in there honey! I hope all is smooth. Boys tend to be bigger at birth than girls and I gave birth to my son at 40 +5 (by induction). He was 8.7 and born vaginally. Only one tiny tear that healed really fast!!! Can't wait to see your little girl!!!

@mrskc: #1 was 7lbs 13oz, and #2 was 8lbs 9 oz. so I think the extra cooking definitely did it, since I gained 10lbs LESS for #2 than for #1 :). however, despite the larger baby, the delivery was much smoother and recovery a million times easier
hope she comes soon! excited for you!

@mrskc: J was 6 lbs 3 oz at 38 weeks and L was 6 lbs 11 oz at 40+4 but like tysonja labor, delivery and recovery was so much better!
