Will it happen again? Any predictions appreciated.

I have given birth to two little boys in this lifetime and both came naturally at 38 weeks.
Although I am only 6 weeks 5 days, I still wonder will it happen again...?
My question is: Do women tend to give birth around the same stage they were in previous pregnancies or is every pregnancy different?
BTW my pregnancies were very similar on my boys, with one weighing 6 lbs 13 and the 6 lbs 14 at birth.... maybe they were ready at the same time by coincidence, or maybe 38 weeks is my ''limit'' lol ?

Any predictions Ladies? :-)

Mine were all different, #1- one week late (induced), #2- nine days early, and #3- right on time!

All were extremely close in weight, too, (7.15, 7.12, and 8.1) so that didn't seem to make a difference.  

It is hard to guess!  Although, for some people, I guess if there is a pattern, you could reasonably expect it to continue...

my three were the all the same too...roughly 2 weeks late and just escaped induction by a matter of hours. weights differed though; 7lb 6 ozs, 6lb 9 1/2  and 8 lbs 13 ozs.

All mine have come at 42/3 wks by way of being induced, so for me all have been the same and I can't see it being any different this time, although I hope I can go into labour naturally as I don't know what it is like and it would be nice to know!!
