Due tomorrow...when did your baby arrive?

Apparently only 4-5% of babies actually arrive on their due date. Please put me out of my misery and tell me when your babies arrived!? It will be my first.

Good luck!

+6. But I'm not convinced on the dates, so might have been right on time!

Haha yes let's race! I only know one person who had their baby on the actual due date so chances are very slim...

I fear the baby will have to be induced...don't feel ready to pop yet! Lots of braxton hicks when I go for a walk though :)

flowerygirl I didn't get a signs at all that I was ready to go into labour until I actually did - no Braxton Hicks, no anything. Don't be disheartened, it'll happen (and if it doesn't I had a 4 hour labour after my induction - hard and fast)

Dd two weeks late.
Ds a week early.. which was therefore a shock.
Good luck whenever it starts Smile

40 + 11, narrowly avoided induction.
I was NOT happy and stomped about shouting about the fact it was never coming out.

Sorry, I'd have had my 2 by now:

DD - 39+3
DS - 38+6

In my 'defence' I felt DS was due from about 36wks & he was always seemed a week bigger than DD at the same stage of pg, so he actually felt 'late' Grin
