Likely to deliver early 2nd time also?

Question

I had my son at 37 weeks in 2016. Currently 37+1 with my daughter and dilated to a 2 75% effaced. If you delivered early the first time are you likely to do the same with the next pregnancy? Anyone have similar experiences?

Answer

I asked my son’s pediatrician this question out of curiosity and she said it doesn’t make a difference. My midwife said generally subsequent babies are born closer to actual due date. My first was born on his due date and my second, who I had last week, was born 3 weeks early. I think it’s really just a wait and see situation.
