Typically, a first baby tends to be late. But subsequent babies are unpredictable, can be early, on time or late. 


It is just a waiting game, first babies can be early as well, but more often than not, baby number 1 would be later. I hope not, they will let me go 14 days overdue and then take me in to start me off. I REALLY hope that doesn't happen, I don't want to be induced. I know you shouldn't go by other people's experiences, but induced labours tend to have more constraints... I would love to try the birthing pool, for example, but you can't use it if you are induced. There's other things as well. 


So yeah, I'm hoping baby will co-operate and be good to me!! I've not had anything so far to indicate it is imminent :( I'm going out tmor for a big long walk - gravity whilst upright is supposed to help baby drop lower into your pelvis, therefore putting pressure on the cervix, which is great for starting things off. Also, I'm going insane being in the house all day! So, we'll see!!
