What gestation did your first baby come?

[BuffaloCauliflower]

Totally unscientific research but - what day of gestation did your first baby come? And if it wasn’t spontaneous (planned Caesarian, induction etc) why was that?

Just curious really, at week 36 awaiting number one

Went into labour at 39+5, born at exactly 40wks.

DC2 was 40+3.

DC3 was 41+3, planned section.

DC4 was 38wks, also a planned section.

31 weeks placental abruption with twins.

42 weeks... I had to be induced - my little boy was far too comfortable in my belly... he eventually made an appearance with the help of forceps

Fingers crossed your baby comes soon - good luck x

42+1. Had a pessary put in for induction at lunchtime-ish at 42, not much happened until my waters broke at 2.30am and I went into labour and had him at 5.14. Was all very fast after the long, long wait for it to happen.

37 weeks.
Pre eclampsia & IUGR.

Spontaneously at 39+2

41+6 - ended up being induced. Absolutely no sign he was going to make it out under his own steam and didn't want to go down the daily monitoring route. Ended up being a really straightforward labour despite him being a bit of a whopper (9lb 2oz).

Second time round had resigned myself to probably needing eviction proceedings again but DS2 had other plans and popped along to join us at 39+4.

Good luck

41wks, went into labour the day before.

DS - 40+4. But I’d been induced the day before as I had sudden and severe pre-eclampsia.

DD - 40+2. I’d had a sweep on my due date, no idea if the sweep brought her out or if she’d have come anyway - I was just so relieved the PE hadn’t reappeared.

41+1. Was induced due to reduced movements and a scan showing low fluid and a smaller than expected baby.

Spontaneously at 17 days past the due date for the first one

DC1 - 38 weeks
DC2 - 40 weeks
DC3 - 38 weeks

38wks - waters broke spontaneously.

39+5 spontaneous labour.

DS1 was born at 38+6

DS2 is still cooking - currently 34+5

37 weeks , baby had 2 bowel obstructions & waters broke so I had to then be induced

39 weeks exactly (first baby)

39+4, induced due to reduced movements.

35+1, spontaneous, waters broke followed by labour

42+3 - no induction went into labour naturally. The rest is a different story.

Second was 38+5 planned Csection was brought forward

Dc1 40+6 induced with drip but otherwise straightforward pretty quick labour.
Dc2 exactly the same

Spontaneous at 38+1

41 weeks 6 days. Spontaneous labour after I declined induction.

(I'm pretty sure I conceived a week later than they thought, my cycles aren't regular.)

No scarp that 41+ 6 for both not 40+6. It's been a long day

41 + 3
