First babies: when did yours arrive?

[Gemmitygem]

Expecting my first, due date is 12 October. I read that on average 1st babies come about 8 days after the 280-day period the doctor calculates. I'm really curious to know how early/late others went into labour with number one!

[Jessajam]

Due on 4 aug 05. Went into early labour in early evening of 9th, in hospital around lunchtime on 10th, born around 9am on 11th.

[NatalieJane]

I was induced at 40+5, according to midwife 'He weren't wanting to come outta there in an 'urry' :o

[biglips]

mine was my first child and she came 12 days late (had an induction in the end as was so knackered!)

[Nbg]

Well my MW estimated that my due date would be the 8/10 with my dd, going on LMP. The 12 week scan said the 4/10.
She arrived on the 8/10

[bogwobbit]

14 days late - was terrified of being induced and managed to avoid it.

[dinosaure]

He was a week early.

Bang on time, bless her (but it was my brother's wedding the next day so really it would have been better if she'd been late).

[Kelly1978]

40+2

[blueteddy]

[coppertop]

Induced when ds1 was 7 days late and he eventually arrived 2 days later so 9 days late.

My SIL was a week early with her first and is currently one week overdue with her second!!
And my sister went into spontaneous labour 2 weeks late with her first but had to induced 2 weeks overdue with her second

[Blu]

6 days after due date. But went into labour 5 days after due date.

[Piccalilli]

16 days after my due date - very slow induction, god only knows how long she'd have stayed in there left to her own devices

[apronstrings]

1 week early - thank goodness i had had enough!!!

[serenity]

8 days late (and he was the earliest!)

[Maddison]

Mine was 4 days early

[KBear]

16 days late, very slow induction (Piccalili are you me?!!!), emergency C-section after two days of labour.

[PinkKerPlink]

13 days late:(

[katiebl]

3 days late. Should have expected it really as it was OH's bday and the only day I didn't want him to arrive. Funny really cos midwife told me he was likely to be week or two early.

[Socci]

8 days late.
