A quick poll - when did you give birth to your first?

[MayimBialik]

I think it's something like 60% go overdue with their first isn't it? Just thought id do a quick poll to see when yours arrived.

I'm a few weeks off yet (34+2) and expecting to be late as my mum was both times (not sure if this has any bearing in it...

[BlingBubbles]

40+4 induced

[GingerPCatt]

One week early. Induced since my waters broke. My friend had hers on her due date. I think it's because she's German .

[tipp2chicago]

40+8 induced

[rugbychick]

Waters broke at 36+6 and dd born by emergency caesarean at 37+1. Although I wasn't sure that my edd was correct

[Madmog]

37 weeks - I had to be induced as it was picked up on a scan all my amniotic fluid had gone and I had no idea.

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

I went two weeks over with both and got induced. Looking back, dating scans messed with my dates with both. Im convinced that neither were ready. Next time, Id be very tempted to sit tight and wait them out.
Saying that, its easy to say now when Im not the size of a house! I do remember seeing the consultant on day 14, being told I could come back on monday, and stamping my foot! "The bags in the car, Im STAYING!"

[McPhee]

[Baaartimaeus]

Big surprise as the previous day the midwife had said nothing was happening and I'd definitely go to term (which is 41 weeks in this country).
