Was your first baby early/late/on time?

[Sparrowlegs248]

Apparently only 5% are born on due dates. The general consensus is first babies are ALWAYS late, so just wondering......

Ds born at 41 weeks after induction and emergency section xx

Born on due date

My first came 8 days before my due date. I had no signs of labour that I was aware of and was completely shocked to wake up during the night with my waters breaking.

6 days after due date. Currently a day after due date with second.

DS was 8 weeks early

11 days early.

Although full term is from 37 weeks, so a due date is a bit irrelevant really.

On her due date!

10 days late

Ooh in the first 9 posts its 3/3/2!! Surprising!

2 weeks early....waters broke in a service station!

I know the due date is irrelevant but i can't help but focus on it.

And I should add to that....the midwife said first babies are always late too!!!

13 days after EDD, although I was never convinced the date was that accurate...

DD was 5 days late.

DS was 3 days early but I was convinced I was 2 weeks further along than they said.

4 days early. I think it's just pot luck!

Both late, 10 and 12 days. My calcs were more reliable than the scans which bumped each due date back 5 days.

My son was a month early at 36wks. But according to the hospital he was term. Okay, I'm the only one here that knows when I conceived! I was in a long distance relationship. What!

4/5/2

I am not convinced about my edd either. Its moved back by 10 days! And i know when my lmp was and that we only dtd days 8 + 10.

13 days late for me, she didn't want to come out even then!

7/6/2 with Lonz

DS was born around 37 weeks. I agree with the others who say due dates are a bit pointless - DS was DEFINITELY fully cooked at 8lb 1oz and I dread to think what size he would've been if he was late!

1 week early, based on LMP...

I was a first baby and was 8 days early :)
