Do second babies come earlier than firsts?

Question

I had my daughter at 41 weeks. Wondering if there’s a chance that my second baby could be earlier because I’ve read it but didn’t know if it’s actually true.

Answer

All of my babies have been later and later lol. 
My first was 38+3 but I was induced due to preeclampsia. 
My second was 40+1 
And my third was 41+2.

Answer

I've only had one but my mom had her first at 37+6 then had me at 40+3 then had her third at 41+1 (had to be induced). So for her they each got later.

Answer

Mine didn’t. Second was born at 40 weeks. First was born 37.

Answer

Yes. My first  was a week late and my second baby was a day early from due dates.

Answer

My first (daughter) was 37 weeks , and my son was 38 almost 39 weeks (after early labour at 33 weeks which they were able to stop to give him a little extra time to bake)  , the labour the second round was a hell of alot faster,  but not the arrival of the second baby , mind you i did go into labour early,  was just a little too early so they stopped it with something they mixed into my IV's

Answer

My first was at 42 weeks and second at 37
