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

Induced at 39+3 due to being small. Arrived at bang on 40 weeks.
Desperately hoping this one, due next month, will arrive with no induction.

42+1, started induction 4 days earlier

DC1....42+6
DC2....43+4 (they threatened cesarian, which seemed to encourage him along😁)

Couldn't face another one

40+3 labour, 40+4 birth.
Good luck OP!

My eldest was 41+6, he took his time because he had his arm above his head. I went into labour 12 hours after my waters broke spontaneously, I’m glad I refused induction!

My other two were 40+2 and 40+3, far more sensible.

I went into labour at 37+5 Born at 38 weeks exactly!

Was induced 37+5 at 10pm with the pessary for reduced movements
Waters broke 11:45am 37+6

Had him 02:07am at 38 weeks exactly :)

38 weeks spontaneously

Born on the day he was due...

Waters broke at 34 weeks. Spent a week in hospital waiting to go in to labour spontaneously, which didn’t happen so was induced at 35 weeks.

42+2

He's still fucking stubborn.

ELCS at 39+3. DS was in a very weird breech position and I was SO uncomfortable.

Went into spontaneous labour at 39+2 and had baby delivered 3hrs later by c-section as was due to have an elective on my due date anyway (through choice).

39+6 spontaneous.

How many times was I told first babies are late

I was induced at 41+4 and ended up with an emergency C Section.

Went into slow labour at 39+6, finally had him at 40+1 after around 10 hours of actual labour.
Thankfully subsequent labours were much quicker!

33+6
41+5

41+4

Baby1: 37+2 PROM. 48 hrs given to await spontaneous labour at home then brought in for induction.
Baby2: Spontaneous labour bang on due date and short (5hr) labour with home birth.

DD 28 + 3 emergency section due to severe pre-eclampsia

DS 42 + 2 induced and 3 day labour before forceps delivery

So one didn’t want to stay in and the other had to be dragged out. Pretty much as their personalities are now

41+4 spontaneous.

36+5 spontaneous

First was 40 exactly (went into labour about two days before that though)
Second was 38 +4 I think

40+1 for DD, spontaneous. I thought she was going to come on her due date but she was a slow one!

39+6 for second baby so they averaged out as on time!

41+1 which I’m pretty sure is bang on average for a first baby.

Currently 37+6 and hoping DC2 is a bit more keen.
