@ Too Old To Work,

I was thinking about the estimated “finish” date for full term. I do realize that the period of labor, as opposed to the period of gestation, tends to shorten with succeeding births.

Not to contradict Brad, but #1 child was in no rush to be born, while #2 was born 15 minutes after we arrived at the hospital. Generally, the more babies a woman has the faster the labor. I delivered a woman’s 7th child years ago, that labor lasted about 20 minutes from her first contraction until the baby was born. The baby comes when the baby is ready, it’s that simple.

So excited for you! Hang in there, parenthood is nothing if not flying around by the seat of your pants.

You know, with horses if the Momma delivers a few days early or later than the average, she usually continues to deliver a few days early or later than average with each delivery. And so does her daughter. Have you checked with your mother about whether you were early or late? Just wondering . .

Blessed be!
