Heyy.. so I was just looking around and my wifes 37 weeks now... and ive read a few threads where they said most first time babies come between 37 and 39 weeks. How many weeks were you when you had your first?

40+6 and still pregnant here. Think your stats are wrong - you're more likely to be post 40 weeks with your first.

Kirta · 14/04/2018 21:31

41+6
Second is meant to be quicker. I say that sat here at 40+4. We'll see!

IckleWicklePumperNickle · 14/04/2018 21:31

39+2 with my first
37+4 with my second

34 weeks with my twins, they were tiny 3lb 13oz and 4lb. Now 11yrs and doing great. 8hr labour

PinkSea · 14/04/2018 21:47

37

PinkSea · 14/04/2018 21:48

And just to add, in my immediate social circle (6 women) everybody was early with their first and we all expected to be late precisely because it was our first pregnancy!

ChangedToday · 14/04/2018 21:48

40 on the dot

SoyDora · 14/04/2018 21:49

Of the 7 in my NCT group, one was early (38 weeks), one induced on due date and the other 5 were late.

LJ17xx · 14/04/2018 21:50

My baby was born at 35 weeks. I would have loved to go full term even though pregnancy is tough

ObiJuanKenobi · 14/04/2018 21:53

36 but with twins.
Best of luck to you and your soon to be newest family member

allthegoodnamesalreadytaken · 14/04/2018 21:54

40+6 and still couldn't shift her - c section in the end!

RedDwarves · 14/04/2018 21:56

Most first babies go overdue.

My first is due on Tuesday, and it looks quite likely I'll go overdue (it's Sunday morning here now).

MonkeyPoke · 14/04/2018 21:58

33 weeks
