Early, Late or On Time?

How late or early were your first (and any subsequent) babies? Did any arrive on their due date?

I'm due tomorrow with first baby, but this is just out of curiosity, as I am a nosy so-and-so passing the time! Wink

DD was originally due on the 10th, then they changed it to the 5th. She was born on the 11th (went into labour on the 10th - a very long one!), so technically 40+6 but I like to think she was almost on time Grin

Late +11, didn't feel too fed up though. Induced due to reduced movements.

I gave birth exactly two weeks later than my due date. A whole 14 extra days of waddling around feeling like a hippo. I hated every single second of going overdue. I tried EVERYTHING I possibly could to get DS out but nothing worked, even medical induction. It ended with a c section for me.

On the plus side, having a newborn baby felt like an absolute breeze for me compared to being so hideously overdue.

3 days over for me. Both DH amd I were 3 weeks early, I was reminded of this early from both mums along with comments like oh you'll never go to full term. I nearly killed both of them. I quite enjoyed my few weeks off work before DS was born

SorryWink

In both cases though my due date had been brought forward at the 12 week scan. Just try and relax and enjoy the afternoon naps bitterly wishes she had taken her own advice
