For those mamas with 4 or more - did they arrive around the same time?!?

[Mrs_P]

With my chicken pox saga going on the longer little lady will hang out the better but i keep feeling like if i sneeze too hard at the moment i am going to go into labor (although it could just be the spd and the pressure).

Anyway my sons were 3, 4 and 8 (although they moved me forwards with him by 5 days so only 3 days late by my counting) days late - what are the chances of her being early, will she follow suit like her big bro's or has anyone had one break a pattern?

Mrs P you have days to go!!!! Sorry got a bit excited there lol:bigsmile:

Theres no reason why she wont stay in there another week:agree: Mine b&g's have either been a few days early or a few days late, so just because your a seasoned mum doesnt mean your body will want to pop her early:agree: Whats the situations with the chicken pox? Have they crusted over??

no nowhere near, he's on day 4 so should pretty much have all the ones he's getting by tomorrow - its the little one that the problem he's yet to get the spots so its inevitable he will have it in some form or other while she is here - just praying i won't loose my baby girl after having waited this long to finally get her

I just did a quick search and th ethought is that she should be protected for her first few months from your immunity, especially if you breast feed! Have you had chickenpox yourself?

Sorry you are dealing with this Mrs P! I can't believe you are 39 weeks!! So exciting! Praying all is well with baby and chicken pox whenever she arrives!

All three of mine were born at 37 weeks so it does seem like there tends to be a pattern.
