Second babies come earlier?

Just curious to know if second babies come a bit earlier in general? I'm 37 weeks in 2 weeks and wondering if I should take it easy until end of the month or have everything ready by week 37..

Don’t know yet as this is my second pregnancy too. I’d say just have everything ready anyway. With my first I gave birth on my due date.

I was 8 days early with my 2nd baby, even my schedualed c section had to be brought forward😅

My 1st and 2nd came at exactly the same gestation..... Both due on 24th of their month and born on 16th x 😄

My first was 41+1 and my second was 41+4. My water broke 30 minutes before I got the call to come in for an induction the afternoon of 41+3. I really didn’t want to have an induction so kept saying I might just let her cook another couple days if she wants. I had just made the decision that when they call I’d go in for the induction, then I went to change the laundry to the drier, squatted down and my water broke 🤣.

My first and second both arrived at 39+6! But my labour with my second was much quicker. I’d say be prepared at 37 weeks, anything can happen!x

For me, yes! First was 41 weeks, second was 39 and 4 days! I would get prepared but unless your doctor says otherwise I wouldn’t think it’d be sooner than 38!

1st was 41+3 2nd was 40+3 So even though my second did come earlier, I still went past my due date haha

Thanks everyone!! Looks like the trend is beyond 39 weeks....so I still have 3 weeks to go 😵‍💫😵‍💫 feel like I'm already done 😭
