What gestation was your baby born? (Just interested)

[LiG123]

As above really- natural birth gestation

Waters ruptured at 39 weeks exactly but didn't give birth (failed induction and emcs) until 39+5

Dc1 41 plus 3days
Dc2 37 weeks
Dc2 29 weeks
Dc4 40 plus 5 days

40+4 (spontaneous)

41+3, 3 days after a sweep

40+7

After I’d been told earlier in the day no way was DS going to come without an induction. I asked for a sweep (specified “be VERY thorough”) and then went to see my osteopath for some acupressure induction techniques.

Baby flew out at 10 the next morning - much to the surprise of the duty obstetrician who had hissed at me the day before that I was borderline negligent not to consent to an induction

Spontaneous labour 40+6

38 weeks
37 weeks
35 weeks

Irritable uterus - which I was told might be a risk for a seriously prem baby if we had a 4th.

Induced at 41+6

40+2

Baby 1 37+3
Baby 2 38+6
Baby 3 38+6
All started with waters breaking naturally as the first sign of Labour

38+ 4
39+3
40+10
40+1

41 exactly. But I was in labour for two days before that!

40+8
39+4
38+4
Had a sweep with DC1 but otherwise all arrived when they were ready!

40+1
39+6
39+5
40+0

1st 39+4 went into labour naturally, 2nd 38+0 went into labour naturally, 3rd 39+1 planned induction which put me into labour 3hrs after prostin tablet inserted and had baby after a 48min labour!

42+6 (induced despite spontaneous natural labour having already started)

Midwives used date of last period to calculate due date but I knew exactly when I conceived (as it happened during a bit of a dry spell!). She was big at birth, probably as she was so overcooked! Think they put on half a pound per week at the end of pregnancy? If she'd been born on the correct (my) due date she would have been 9.5lb. She was 11lb in the end.

@alphabetti 48 min labour 💪🏼🤪

Loving the variety and stories

42 +2 induction then EMCS
40 +3 waters broke following a sweep
39- induction due to high BP

This time I will be induced if I reach 40weeks so sweeps from 38 and lots of Raspberry leaf tea, walks etc.

37+5 for DD1
37+3 for DD2

Impatient then and impatient now 🤣🤣🤣

41+1 for first ds after induction.
38+6 for second ds spontaneously.
I had to think about that - I usually just say one was 8 days late and one was 8 days early!!

39 weeks exact with both of my DS went into labour the day 38+6
Interesting as 39 weeks with this baby is Xmas day.

40+3, spontaneously

32
32 (dead)
35

40+6 had a sweep 5 days earlier
40+6 spontaneous labour
40+6 spontaneous labour

By the third one I didn’t even pack my hospital bag until 6 days overdue
