First babies! Late or Early??

[Kissedbubble93]

I'm pregnant with my first, I've heard that first babies come late.
When did everyone have there first?

Sorry im new to this

38+5 for me

Five days overdue, that was by the due date of my scan. If I go by the date of conception which was a later date than my scan predicted it to be (we know the date due to contraception failure) then I was bang on what my conception calculated due date would have been. My DD was engaged from 32 weeks, if you are worried speak with your midwife.

First was born one day early
Second was born 12 days late

My first was born at 38 weeks.
My sisters first (and only) was born at almost 42 weeks.
Babies come whenever they are ready

Congratulations . My first was two weeks late and had to be evicted by the midwives.

DD was 9 days late (5 days of contractions). Number 2 due in Nov so will see!

Went into labour 41 weeks and he was born the next day - 8 days 'late'

7 days overdue and 10 days overdue. I never was one of those lucky 38 weekers, sigh. Although never been induced. I'm on baby number 3 pregnancy now. This one better not exceed 10 days ha ha.

40+13
Now 40 weeks with DC 2, playing the waiting game!

40+15 with DD five months ago. Took 3 sweeps, breaking of waters and induction drip - she really did not want to come out of there Glad I started maternity leave at 38 weeks and not earlier.

38+5 with 1st
40+15 with 2nd
37+2 with 3rd

1st was 2 weeks early. I went into shock when my waters went (my first clue, I'd had NO pain at all) because, you know 11st babies are always late!

DS born at 38 + 5

11 days late, induced 2 days early (so was scheduled for 40+13) because of reduced movements. Induced on a Sunday, then it was a bank hol Monday so that's why I was scheduled for the Tuesday not the Monday. When it got going he shot out though! 2cm to delivery in 40 mins.

this may help! There's a wide spread statistically but most people eschew stats for anecdotal evidence!

40+15 - induction followed by EMCS.

Interesting charts Blackpool - thanks for the links

42 weeks with my first after a false alarm at 33 weeks resulting in steriod injections for ds's lungs.

My others though got earlier:
Ds2: 40 weeks
Ds3 38 weeks
Ds4 34 weeks
Dd1 31 weeks.

DD was 5 weeks early, but that was due to complications.
Friends/family have varied from 38-41 weeks with their firsts.
Full term is considered from 37-42 weeks.

40+12 (induced)

This was from the scan date though which put me forward a week from the date I know I conceived.

Congratulations! My little boy was 5 days late and luckily turned up the day before my sweep was scheduled! My midwife rang me to see where I was haha

40+12
But the others were 40+10 and 40+13 so late babies are fairly standard for me!

Ds1 - 10 days early.
Ds2 - 7 days early.
Ds3 - 10 days early.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy, the birth and life with your gorgeous, squidgy new baby, Kissed!
