If you were early-ish with your first baby.....?

... Are you more likely to be early with the second?

My waters went at bang on 37 weeks with chester and labour started the day after. It went horribly wrong and I ended up with a section but my midwife seems to think I will be ok to try for a VBAC this time round.

My first was early and so was my 2nd.

My first was 6 weeks early and my second was exactly a week early

my first was 10 weeks early and second was 5 weeks early but for different reasons

Watch this space - my first was 39 weeks - just waiting now to see if her brother is as impatient!
MW says there is more of a chance your second will be early if your first was, but no guarentees.

Sorry, can't answer on the second, but Sam was 4 weeks early and all the midwives said that the same can often happen wit the second.
