Mommies with 2+ babies?

I've heard that you're more likely to go into labor early with your 2nd/3rd pregnancy. Just wondering if it's been true for any of you? I had my first child on his actual due date and I was just hoping this one would be a little sooner! I'm beyond uncomfortable with 22 days to go. Dr checked me and I haven't progressed at all

I'm currently due with my second. My 1st was 8 days early but the OB that I had then stripped my membranes at 38 w 4 days.  The next morning my water broke and the next morning after that I gave birth at 3:49 a.m. I was due yesterday with this baby.  Each baby is different.  If I don't have him over the weekend we have scheduled a induction date for Monday. At 38 weeks with this one I was 1 cm dilated and dr. Didnt specify effacement.  At 39 weeks I was 2 cm dilated and 50 % effaced. At 40 weeks I was 2 cm dilated and 70 % effaced. Ive been walking, having sex, and bouncing on an excercise ball to try and help the whole process.  Goodluck with your little one! Hopefully he or she will come and make it a smooth labor and delivery for both of you.

Not true for everyone. My first was born at 39+4, My 2nd was born at 36+1, and im currently pregnant with #3 at 38+4. Im 2 cm dilated but no sign of labor besides a few contractions.

Both of mine were 2 weeks late and I had to be induced and was 3 days in Labour for both. This will be my 3rd and I am hoping the same as u but with my luck I doubt it
