Do 2nd babies arrive early or late?

Question

I'm 33w pregnant with my second boy. Feeling a lot more uncomfortable than I did at this stage last time. Can't get my head around being pregnant for another 7 weeks! My boobs have started to produce a tiny bit of colostrum, is that a sign that baby might arrive before 40w? I hope so! Don't want him to be premature but 37 or 38w would be fine by me! Anyone know if 2nd babies are statistically more likely to arrive early/late?

Answer

I think #2 is generally similar to #1 though they say labor is faster! 😁😁

I'm 12 weeks today with my second baby. My first was born at 38w4d.

Answer

Here for the same answers! 39 weeks and 3 days, I don’t mind being a couple days late but hopefully not a week 😩

Answer

I’ve heard both ways - some day early some day it doesn’t make a difference. My first baby came on his due date and my labor was only 7.5hrs. So I’m excited to see what happens with my second!
