So then who actually DID give birth on their due date?

[MJP1]

Just interested am 39+4 with my first and am ready and willing to pop, I am sick of being pregnant and am interesested in if anyone actually did give birth on their due date?
I know it is a loosely based estimated guess, but am living in hope that things will start soon, as I dont think I can cope with 2 more weeks.

I had one of my five on their due date. Apparently around 5% are born on their EDD.

I went into labour on my due date (although DD was born the following day) - is that any help?

I had neither of my two on their due dates but then I wasn't at all sure on my dates.

I assume if you know your dates are spot on there's more likelihood of it happening on/very close to your due date?

This one I know the LMP, the date of conception etc, so figuring it should be pretty accurate?

DS2 was born on his due date, but not by his choosing, he kept changing positions in late pregnancy, 2 days before his due date he was the right way round and stayed that way for 36hrs so it was decided to induce him in case he moved again.

I used to work with someone who had 3 on their due dates.

My waters broke in the evening of my due date. Dc born 36 hours later.

I did. First and only child.

I did :)

my dd arrived on her due date!

I did with DD.

DD2 was born on her due date. (DD1 was 40+10 though)

I had my DS on my due date... The hospital/midwife team however, insisted I was 9 days overdue.

Excellent its nice to hear some people did, lets hope I am one of them xx

Neither if my children were, both were early, with the first I always thought my due date was later than it should be, so wasn't surprised when DD arrived earlier. With my second I didn't have a clue whether my due date was right or wrong as didnt have a period to date from (bf'ing). I don't actually know anyone who had a baby on the due date, all my friends have been overdue to some degree unless induced early for medical reasons.

Hopefully your little on will make an appearance soon though.

No, mine were 10 and 8 days late - they were quite happy where they were I think, but eventually even they accepted it was getting a bit snug

Went into labour the day before my due date, dc born the day after my due date - LOOOOOOONG labour.

DS was born on his due date, DD was 1 hour and 8 minutes too late

DD1 was 11 days late. I added 11 days onto my due date with DD2 and she arrived right on time

Sadly not. DD was induced at 41+3... In those extra 10 days I sat round like Jabba the Hutt moaning that I was bored. I'd give anything for 10 days to myself now!

My waters went at 12.10am on my due date had dd in my arms by 3.55am

My mum had me on my due date. I went two weeks over and was induced with both of my dc . Hope you don't have too much longer to wait .

I did!!!!

My sister did, twice, but mine were one day early and nine days late.
