2nd baby comes early?

Question

3rd time mamas, Is it true that when your pregnant with your second child, they come early/quickly? What was your due date and delivery date?

Answer

My 1st was born at 40+4 and 2nd at 41+3 (neither were induced) so wasn't true for me that 2nd is earlier. She was A LOT quicker though. Only a 2 hour labour compared to 12 hours for my 1st.

Answer

Induced at 41 weeks with all 3 of my babies. Labor did progress faster each time which was nice.

Answer

Wasn’t earlier, my second came right on her due date. But labor was shorter!

Answer

My first was 40 weeks exactly with a 10 hr labour, and my second was 41+3 with a 5 hr labour.

Answer

Second 41 induction third came at 37.5 weeks

Answer

Both my boys were 42 week inductions. The second induction led to an emergency C-section but they were both born at 42 weeks.🫣

Answer

That was the case with me but it’s not guaranteed. Every labor will be different. 
My first labor started at 39+4 (membrane sweep) and my second started 37+6 (water broke). Both my labors stalled and needed pitocin. My first baby was born 4ish hours after pitocin and my second was born 2.5 hours after pitocin.
