Note: for STM, your data only applies if you've already passed the gestational age of your firstborn, as that's the only way you'll have a definite answer... Sorry!
drpayne:So why are you asking STMs who are currently pregnant? This won't apply to anyone here unless you're talking to 3rd+ timers...
As I explained prior to the poll... It only applies to STM IF the mom has passed the gestational age at which her first child was born. In that case, she could answer that her first pregnancy was shorter.

But she'd have to have given birth to know which option to pick. In which case, why would she be lurking in third tri?
DS#1 - Born at exactly 38 weeks (water broke)
DS#2 - Born 2 days after due date (went into labor on my own)
So my first pregnancy was shorter by 16 days.

Geez. If she is 6+ days further along with this one than the first, she'd pick that option... Between 3 and 5 days, I guess she couldn't be certain if she should pick that option or the 6+ days option. Take a guess... It's clearly not a scientific study.
My first was born 40 weeks. We went into labor on his due date, had him the next morning.
My second was born 40 weeks and 3 days.Very fast labor.
Pregnant with our Rainbow now, 31 weeks! :)
