When did you go into labour

[wonderings]

So I'm 40 weeks today with DD2 and SO ready to give birth.
When did you go into labour/give birth?

My first I was 40 weeks born on due date and my second 39 weeks one week early. I’ll be 39 on Monday and no signs of labour with 3rd.

42 weeks and induced labour with DS (1st baby). With DD started very gentle labour around 3pm at 40 weeks exactly, painful enough for hospital by 9pm and she arrived a few minutes before midnight.

First 39+2, no signs before. Contractions started and roughly an hour or two later waters went.

Second 37+2, again no signs. Waters went suddenly and then contractions started an hour later. Arrived under 3 hours later.

41+6, on a full moon if this makes any difference.

The midwives told me they wouldn't induce me until after the full moon as they would be full to capacity. Not sure what this was about.

DS arrived and there were mums on trolleys in the corridor waiting for beds. It was definitely full to capacity, and some.

Ds: went into labour at 38+4 (a Friday the 13th!) - born by emcs at 39+1
Dd: went into labour at 39 weeks - born by emcs at 39+1 (was meant to be an elective a few hours later).

First labour DD 40+5 days. Bloody show about 3pm. Contractions started 7pm then waters broke about 3am, lose stools about 3:30am, baby born 06:40am

Second labour DS 39+6 days. Bloody show all day. Very tired. Waters broke 15:40, contractions started. Son born 17:50...very quick labour.

Good luck!

DC1 40+2 5 hours from first contraction to holding baby, went into labour at 2.30am

DC2 39+4 90 mins from waters breaking and just over an hour of contractions to holding baby. Went into labour at 7.15pm.

Currently pregnant with DC 3 and won't be doing anything but the school run after 38 weeks for fear of sneezing and giving birth

Exactly 37 weeks

First baby and I went into labour at 34 plus 2. Arrived within 50 mins!

Dd1 - first contraction Sat am (early!) born Sun evening - 37h of labour. Was 39+3.

Ds - waters broke 10pm, he was here at 8am. Was 38+4.

Dd2 induced at 6am, born at 6pm, 36+6 (I was very ill with kidney symptoms after a ghastly pregnancy, we needed her out!).
