Usually your first baby you carry past the due date and your second is earlier. What if your first was induced

Question

If your first baby was induced two weeks early, then will your second one 'most likely' be like your first natural labour and carry later?

I know no one know for sure when the baby comes.. I am speaking in generalizations

Answer 1

what a good question! this happened to me with my first. i was induced 3 weeks early but now i'm 39 weeks and was thinking that may be this one thinks it's the first and will be late... haha, but fortunately i don't think it works like that.... sorry i didn't answer your question, i'm wondering the same thing too : )

Answer 2

I was induced 3 weeks past my due date and my brother was born 2 days early 20 minutes after getting to the hospital. You never can tell. I think that it is most common for the second to come quicker. I've only had one baby and he was 12 days early.

Answer 3

As everyone is saying, each pregnancy is different. I was induced with my first 2 weeks early. My second decided to come 5 days late.
First labor last 20 hours, second only lasted 6 hours. Hopefully, #3 labor is slower then 20 minutes or we're in trouble!!!
Good luck!

Answer 4

I went into labor on my own at 38 1/2 weeks with my first (11 days before her due date), but am at 39 weeks now with #2, so I wouldn't think it'd be earlier, but later. Of course, everyone's different.

Answer 5

No, every pregnancy is different. My first two where early by 2 weeks and my last was almost 2 weeks late.

Answer 6

I have no idea..my first came a week before his due date..and my second went a little over a week past his due date.....each pregnancy is different....

Answer 7

I honestly have never heard that. My first was early by a few days and my second was overdue by a few days.
