One day before due date.

Induced at 36 weeks for my first because twins and pre-eclampsia.

SuperstarDJ · 14/01/2019 17:39

First - 34 weeks
Second - 39 + 1 (planned csection - no idea how long she’d have taken if labour had happened naturally. Probably overdue!)

AutumnCrow · 14/01/2019 17:40

35 weeks. Pre-eclampsia, so induced. Baby was fine. I think he's about six foot three now :)

StandardPoodle · 14/01/2019 17:45

TeamRoger · 14/01/2019 18:15

1st 42 weeks
2nd 36 weeks
3rd 35 weeks

Only the 2nd labour wasn't a natural start. Had a pessary due to pre eclampsia and IUGR. Luckily I was already 3cm dilated when I was started so I most likely would have went into labour myself

OutPinked · 14/01/2019 18:15

I was 40+3 with my first three. DC4 was ELCS so born at 39+1. Suspect if he hadn’t been a CS he’d also have been born at 40+3 Grin.

First they had fiddled with me and it went completely pear-shaped. Second was all natural.

icannotremember · 14/01/2019 18:46

40+10. 5 days earlier than my first. (6 days later than my third). Best birth of the lot, if all births were like that we'd have a dozen.
