How close to your due date did you actually give birth with your first?

[octanegirl]

I'm just curious. They say first babies are often late but perhaps not? I'd love to hear your stories.

[Mrscoghoul]

Day before due date! Very efficient of DS as it was the day my m/l started following 6 weeks of annual leave!

[RightUpMyRue]

4 days early.

[cbeebiesatemybrain]

2 days after my due date early morning but went into labour at night at 40+1 so didn't have long to wait

Mws kept telling me that first babies are always late but almost everyone I know went longer past their due date with dc2.

[pickledparsnip]

3 weeks early Was induced due to waters trickling.

[browniebear]

7 days over with first 4 days over with second

[MsStaken]

10 days late with ds,.without induction and dd was 8 days late. I must have been very comfy for them.

[Rachel130690]

[WeeLors]

11 days early with first. Was hoping for the same this time round but I'm now overdue and still waiting

[messtins]

Both mine on their due dates. Very prompt, my babies!

[wigglesrock]

8 days over with first, was induced with second and third came a day before her due date. I was so used to going over I refused to believe it was labour and arrived at hospital 8cms dilated.

[Poledra]

8 loooooooong days late.

[OneOfMyTurnsComingOn]

7 days late by ELCS.

[spinaltap]

Only just over 24hrs late. I think he was trying to get here on time!

[Jollyb]

Induced at 41+5 and gave birth at 42 weeks exactly

[LoosingBattle]

10 weeks early. Will pack my hospital bag earlier next time!

[OneHandFlapping]

On it. It just felt like 2 weeks late, thanks to Mum and sisters constantly saying "Oh, our family always give birth 2 weeks early."

DCs 2 &3 were 2 weeks early.

[SwissArmyWife]

Two and a half hours before her due date :)

[GwennieF]

15 days over with DS, EMCS after a failed induction. The little fella just didn't want to get out!
