Poll: How many weeks were you

[photographerlady]

For fun and wondering reasons really.. How many weeks were you when you went into labour. Were you expecting to come early? Induced? Differ from the other labours you had?

41+6 both times induced

38 induced quick
40+4 very quick

I was 40+5 I had a sweep at 40 weeks, x

38+1 wasn't expecting it as it was my first, also wasn't expecting a 4 hr labour with only a 4 minute pushing stage! Bibs was inpatient to meet us!

becks I need to have a labour like yours :)

Ds- 36+6, total shock.
Dd- 40+6, was hoping early, not fun being over!

It was great photo it still bloody hurt but at least it was over with quickly. I can't have cost the NHS much either as I didn't have any time for pain relief

39+5 no symptoms until the day it started then a 30 hour back to back labour.

I've still got the stitches to show for it but also a beautiful daughter sleeping soundly in her cot next to me

first 40+17 not induced, home birth with no pain relief, second 39+6 not induced, home birth with a paracetamol.

with DS 36 weeks exactly and with DD 39 weeks.

Ds 39+5 born next day
Dd 39+6 induced and born next day

39w & 5 days. Went into labour 30mins after my first cup of raspberry leaf tea. Oops.

DD - born at 39weeks & 6 days. DH had been working away (only 2 hours away) but came home for the night before his last day of work. My waters broke in the middle of the night. Quick labour for a first. Had first contraction half an hour later and DD was born in 6 hours.

DS - born at 38 weeks. I'd had a show 8 days previously and loads of braxton hicks. DH had been working away for 2 weeks and I'd been really worried about him missing the birth. DH got home, my waters broke 2 hours later and DS born in 2 hours!

Induced for GD at 39w, had him the day after. He was already on his way though and my dates (pre-scan) put me at 39+6 when he was born. Quite a long labour - contractions started at 2:30am, induced at 3:00pm, contracting until waters went at 4am and then had him at 4:00pm.

40, 40, 41 + 3 (one sweep), 42 (5 sweeps, crying, climbing the walls, depressed)

Although saying that, the final birth was the biggest baby, born in the bag and an absolute doddle.

DC1 - 37 weeks
DC2 - 38 weeks
DC3 - 39 weeks

All spontaneous labour although DC1 took 48 hours and DC3 only took two!

DS was born a week ago at 37+5

40+12 - failed induction so cs

DD: My waters broke at 39+6 (11pm) but I laboured slowly and gave birth at 40+1

38+4 with DS1 induction then EMCS
36+6 with Ds2 Elcs

Oh and the ELCS was worse than the EMCS, and I really mean worse, dont even like thinking of it
