what are the chances of delivering earlier with the second baby?

I hear alot of people say that you can go earlier with the second baby. And i am just wondering how true this really is?

I had my 1st 4 days after his due date n my second 4days before his due date. like previous post say it depends on your body n baby. Although with my 2nd my doc did a membrane sweep 2days b4 i delivered so i think that's what sped things up. Thank god cause i was ready to meet him n my doc was trying to induce n i was so against that but really had no choice my lil guy was measuring small on u/s but came out 8lbs 3oz so i dnt believe u/s. But anyways good luck n baby #2 might b here sooner then u think.

Yeah at this point you can only hope, this is one part of life where the baby has the say so lol, i delivered on my due date with #1 and only a 7hr natural labor, im hoping for the same with this one as well, good luck!

every pregnancy is different, there is no way of telling honestly. Its just like saying labor is long or you go past your due date with your 1st which is not always true. So dont feed too much into that type of thing baby will come when its ready or the dr will decide if there are any complications.

Everyone is different. They told me with my first that ill either have him on my due date or late I had him exactly 1 week early they were shocked because not only was he my first but I was I only 15. So I'm hoping this little comes early also just not to early
