So, what gestation were you when you went into labour?

[ApertureScience]

I am 39+5 and getting pretty desperate, so to make myself feel better (or possibly worse) I thought I would ask everyone what gestation they were when they went into labour (ELCs don't count!) so I can determine a rough average!
Now, I am well aware that even if everyone here went at 39+6 that doesn't mean I will, but surely compulsively checking the replies on this thread will kill some time
I'll start; 38+5 with DD...

I was 40+1, had no twinges, bhs etc. Waters went with no warning and ds was born 4 1/2 hours later.

41+4
40+3
38+2

41+5

no braxton hicks etc
contractions started about 22:30
waters went about 02:30
DD born at 10:11

DD 38
DS 39+5
DD pending (34 weeks)

i was 41+5, and had to be iunduced even then cause my little stubborn boy, wasnt even properly engaged.
he just didnt want to come out

40+2 DS1
39+3 ds2

I'm 39+4...getting very impatient so am taking hope from the fact that not everyone was late!

DD1 33+4
DD2 38+2

Just to bring your statistics down, not to make you you know!

40+4
40+15 (induced)
40+16 (induced)

So far we have
Average gestation: 279 1/3 (so about 39+6)
(I think we have Bramshott to thank for that )
(Disclaimer: I made DH do the maths!)

Excellent - so by that law of averages, your baby should be here tomorrow!

DS: 39 + 3
DD: 40 + 1

DS2: Please, please, please any day soon, I have sooooo had enough (38 weeks today )

40+13 by the time he was born but I was induced.

40+12
40+8
40+8
40+2

40+5
39+6 - no sign at 1am DD2 born at 3am!

Well my contractions started at 39+6 but DD was born at 40+1, but you probably don't want to hear that!

36+2

DT's 28+4 (Brought down your averages a bit more)

DD 39+5

DS3 39 (induced)

Well I'm 39+3 and no sign of anything here so think I'll be going over!

Trying to mentally prepare myself for it so it isn't too depressing when Monday comes and goes with no baby!!

DS 38+5 (but induced0
DD 37+2
I saw midwife for 37 week check up and she said "I would say see you next week, but I don't think I will" and she was right!

40 + 3, labour started on my due date, induced 2 days later due to prolonged rupture of membranes (I had Group B strep).

40+18
40+18

No inductions here
nice easy fast deliveries

38
37+2

1st. 40+ 17 then failed induction led to CS ( that consultant said was v hard to do as baby not enagaged at all and too high up !)

2nd. Twins- which half the time come early, it was 40 + 11. Waters broke & labour started at 40+10.

If it helps a very experinced midwife told me that taller women tend to go overdue more. I am 6'8 1/2''
