My mum was induced after 41 weeks with my brother, next I was born at 42 weeks (mum refused induction) then my sister was born at 32 weeks.

Comparing to me, my first was born at 40+1 (but I was induced) then my 2nd was born at 39+4. I was expecting to go over with my 2nd since mum had most of us late term so it was a surprise he came before 40.

I'm not sure about my MIL but 2 out of 3 of her pregnancies were twins so hard to compare anyway.

Hi ladies,
Just wanted to ask a question, I've been reading alot of medical studies lately about genetics and the timing of when babies are born eg: late or early that sort of thing. They say there is a strong genetic connection with women and their mothers, sisters and fathers mother when they had their babies I'm curious what are your thoughts? I know with myself my mother had all 3 children around 41+ weeks and I myself have had 2 at 41+, my partners mother also had her children closer to 42 weeks and so on. Anyone else have similar in their families?

Hi This is an interesting question, so thought I'd comment too if that's ok?..

I'm the reverse of my mum. She delivered her DS1 a week early, DD (me) 2 weeks early, and DS2 4 weeks early!

I had DS1 at 36 weeks, DS2 at 38 weeks, DS3 at 39+6 and DS4 at 40+4 weeks...
I'm a bit scared at how long I'll carry DD for lol.

However, neither one of us got stretch marks on our tummy so I can thank her genes for that

The women in my moms side of the family usually have their babies before 40 weeks. My mom had my brother on her due date, and me 3 weeks early (but she thinks it was really closer to 2 weeks early) Ive had my first 2 days early, and my other 2 about 2 weeks early but that was with stretch and sweeps, walking, bouncing etc to try and keep labour going when the contractions started. I think I would have had them closer to the 40 weeks without that but was so ready to be done. My second was 7 lb 7 oz and just over 2 weeks early, my 3rd was 7 lbs and 2 weeks early.

My mom had 4 kids: #1 & #3 were 2 weeks early. #2 & #4 were due date babies.
Only similarity with mine...is a pattern! #1 for me was 3 weeks late (refused induction), #3 was 4 days late, #5 was 9 days late (induced). #2 & #4 were born 4 days early.

what size babies does everyone else have? I'm worried this one will be even bigger! I'm a fairly tiny person so am surprised that I grow babies larger than some women i know that are 5 '9 etc

i think this one could be 8lbs if I go to 40 weeks....fingers crossed the sweep works for me again!

I'm 5'2 and 105 normally before pregnancy. I was born at 6 lbs 3 weeks early though so would have been probably 7ish pounds at 40 weeks.

Im 5ft 1, 120lbs when not pregnant and my babies were 7lbs 1 & 8lbs 14. Both 39 wks+ . This ones estimated by growth scan to be 9lbs at birth

Sounds like if you went to 40 weeks pinkhelp your babies would be 8lbs which is still smallish. Honestly thats not big at all x
