What week was your 1st baby born?

[liquoriceandtomatoes]

I'm now 33 weeks and I know it's not an exact science but I'm curious to hear as I'm always told that I'll likely be overdue as it's my 1st. But I do wonder as I'm reasonably active and my cycle was less than 28 days. I'm moving house around 36 weeks, so I hope the stress of that doesn't affect anything but also the idea of going to 42 weeks fills me with dread.

Basically, are most 1st babies 40 weeks plus?

my first born was born at 30 wks ,dd born 39+3 and ds2 42 wks

40+5

32

42 +1. Induced.

34 weeks but i had pre eclampsia and i was a bit poorly

39 and have a short cycle about 25 days.

37+1

I always said she'd be early and no bugger believed me!

DD1 - 38+1
DS -40
DD2 - 38+1

40+14. Long two weeks.

Ds1 38 weeks but induced so doesn't count
ds2 40+4

I have a 26 day cycle

40+7
waters broke 40+6
1st baby

I actually didn't agree with the scan date though so really I think he came at 40+2

40+5

30 day cycle

40 + 13 and even then they had to go in and get her!

40+9 (labour started after stretch & sweep at 40+6! But DD was back to back and no one figured that out )

My first was born at 39 weeks exactly.

waters broke 39+2 then induced the next day and ds arrived the day after that at 39+4

42+3 - induction
41+5 - no induction.
42+3 - no induction.

There are risk factors for going overdue - being white, being overweight, being middle class, your mother having long pregnancies (my mum went to 41 weeks with twins, and was induced then!). I have never suffered the way I see other women do at 38 plus weeks - none of the babies have been engaged until labour, no real puffiness, quite a small bump despite 9lb + babies. Everyone's different!

38+4 and 39

First was 2 weeks early, and the second, two weeks late and induced... go figure!

40+8 days. Those were a looooooooooong 8 days especially as my two neighbours due after me had theirs before me!

I went walking every day until labour day and had a 28 day cycle. I was mahooosive at the end though (no surprise as DS was 9lb 4oz!)

42 +1 induced and the emergency c-section.

Was most annoyed as the midwife I'd been seening had sworn I'd be 2 weeks early.

37

ds1 42+4
ds2 40+6

dd - 37 wks, but emergency c-section so doesn't count.

ds - 38 wks

42 weeks. I walked up and down hills for an hour every day while pregnant. She came when she was ready!
