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?

I had ds1 at 39 + 3
Also had ds2 at 39 + 3 but I had an induction second time round so he probably would have been later.

41+4 but out of 9 first time mums in our antenatal class, 7 delivered before 40 weeks, so there's no telling really.

Also 5 were c sections and none managed to be born in the lovely midwife led birthing centre like we all planned 😂
