How many weeks did you deliver your 2nd?

I still haven't figured out the clicky poll, but Im feeling like I could go much earlier than Jan 24th! I was just wondering if any mom's delivered significantly earlier than planned based on size of the baby? I still have like 12 weeks and I totally am feeling like Im at the end of this one! My doc says I LOOK much bigger than Im measuring,so just curious.

My son, my first, was measuring a week or so bigger, but was born at 1:09am the day after his EDD. My daughter, my second, was measuring a week smaller, and was born at 3:56am the day after her EDD. Likewise, this daughter, my third, is measuring a week smaller but I'm expecting my time frame to be about the same. My guess is I make big boys and small girls (my son wasn't "big"... 8#3oz, 21"... and my daughter not "small"... 6#15oz, 20"... but compared to each other and what I "should have" been measuring, they were "big" and "small")

Every person is different, every pregnancy is different but for me I went late with my 1st & 2nd, was huge and measured ahead with both and so far for this last one I'm feeling the same way.  I have 3 weeks 2 days left until EDD, with no signs of early labor and I've measured ahead the whole time.  Both my boys were born 7lbs 3oz and my midwife said I just had lots of fluid... so as long as you are feeling good and you & baby are healthy, I wouldn't pay too much attention to the measurements or exact due date.  GL

I know it's probably just coincidence, but both my sisters went two weeks early with their pregnancies. One had 3 and the other had 2 kids.

My first son was born exactly at 38 weeks and my second son was born 2 days after his due date.  Both of them weighed 7 lbs. 2 oz. but I was never really measuring ahead with either one.

DD1 measured one week ahead at both us, was two weeks early and weighed 8lb2oz.

DD2 measured 5 days ahead, was four days early and was 9lb1oz.

Only one doc mentioned DD2 could be big. Based on fundal height they just said I was on target.

DD 1  - 41 weeks 2 days - 7 lbs 1 oz - Induced at 41 weeks

DD 2 - 41 weeks 2 days - 7 lbs 10 oz - Induced at 41 weeks 1 day

DD 3 - I am betting will not be here on time either.

My first child was 9lbs12oz 21.5" born 40w6d measured 6 weeks ahead from 30 weeks gestation.

This one is expected to be bigger and Im currenly 38w3d. Ive been measuring 6 weeks ahead since 31 weeks gestation and was 40 lbs below my first prepregnancy weight so Im physically smaller than first time around. At 36 weeks they estimated her to be 8lbs6oz.

My second measured big on the u/s and he did come a week early.  Definitely possible for larger babies to arrive early.  But, my Doc wouldn't change my due date even though my babe measured a week ahead.
