I need to! Would love to! Was induced with DS at 37 weeks as i'm diabetic but this time it's looking like 38 weeks. I hated induction and would love a natural labour. What are my chances?!

I went into labour at 37 weeks with an induction booked for 37+2.

But, I did have PE and low amniotic fluid.

I went into labour naturally at 37+3. Did have cholestasis though and was due to see consultant about induction the day after!

There's no way of knowing, but I have gone into labour with three of my DC at 38 exactly, 37+3 and 37+6, all spontaneously. I've never gone overdue at all.

Could your mw examine you and tell you if you're dilated at all? That might give an indication?

My mate went naturally at 38 weeks on the dot for DC2 after a 42 weeks induction with DC1.

I went into labour naturally at 38 weeks with DS1. I'm 28 weeks with DC2 so I am wondering whether I will be early with this one as well!

Fabulous! Right so sex, walking, scrubbing floors...

This website is really cool (imho). Put in your due date and it will tell you the odds of spontaneous delivery on every day up to week 43.
Do you have sisters with children? When did they come? Also ask your mum when you and your siblings arrived. But pregnancy dating techniques may not have been as accurate back then.
