Just find it interesting cos everyone says 1st babies are normally late, then after that they're normally on time etc. I seem to be a bit odd, my first was 37+2 then 2nd 38+4, third arrived at bang on 39weeks. What are the chances no4 will be even later?!

Im getting so nervous this one's going to stay put til 40wks or even longer! Ive kept myself going by telling myself "well my first came at 37wks" and so on. I literally don't think I can make 40wks, I feel huggge compared to previous pregnancies aswell. :-/

My waters broke at 37+5 and DD was born two days later at exactly 38 weeks.

EmbarrassedPossessed · 06/01/2015 15:12

42 weeks (first dc, and only one so far), and he had to be forcibly removed via c section! He was not keen on coming out :-)

39+5 for the first,long labour but stitch free. 36+6 for the second, EMCS but already laboured for 15 hours. Still an awkward bugger! Hmm
