First pregnancy when did you give birth?

[Nainer123]

I was just wondering with your first pregnancy how long before or after edd did your little bubbas come? And how long was your labour.

Ps: I do wonder if the labours of our mothers/grandmothers etc can indicate our labours.

My mum had me at 42w
My granny had two of her babies at 43+!

DS1 35+5 (spontaneous labour) and 6hours
DS2 34 weeks (spontaneous labour). Hospitalised for 4 days in slow labour and then discharged, returned back to hospital 6 hours later and was taken go labour ward. Took 43hrs for DS2 to finally arrive

Thelegend- I think that sometimes. My mum had a similar labour with her 1st to what I had with mine. Her 2nd (me) was just 6 hours so I'm hoping for that if I have another!

One son, he was born at 38w+3. I was induced due to reduced movement and ended with c section. So my experience isn't particularly normal

A week late and 3 days from the first pains to delivery. DC2 due in 6 weeks so hoping for a little speedier this time!

Beans yes I definitely agree. I think it influences your outlook on it too - both my mum and grandma had natural, fairly quick births with no pain relief. From being a teen we would watch people giving birth in films, soaps, OBEM and they would both turn their noses us and be like ffs it's not that bad. Don't need to make those kind of noises. So dramatic. Etc. So I went into it thinking it would all be fine and I just needed to get a grip 😄 luckily discovered hypnobirthing and along with everything being straightforward did have a fab experience 👍

I'm 38 weeks today and feeling so fed up - hoping she arrives sometime soon rather than 2 weeks late like a lot of you guys! The idea of being pregnant for another month in this heat is awful!

Waters broke at 34+6 and ds was born at 35+3. All a bit of a surprise. 22 hours altogether, I think.

6 days early, 5 hours labour, 1.5 hours active labour, 4 mins of pushing!

Hoping to repeat that with this baby

35 weeks. Waters went at 2pm on Wednesday then contractions started at 1 am Thursday then EMCS at 8 am.

41 weeks 28 hour labour.

41+2 and 10 hours from first contraction to baby.

I've been overdue with all of mine, but my longest (28 hours) was with my second baby, and my most overdue (42+0) was with my 3rd.

Both mine were 4 days early.

I was ten days late, and in labour for almost 48 hours after having a sweep.

40 + 11 and 32 hours.

@n0ne oh my goodness!! Dream birth!

35+5, 4 hour labour.

DS1 was 42 + 2. Induction started at 41+ 6. It took a while but honestly I was so drugged up I don't remember at all and don't think I was that aware during!

DS2 was 39+3 - also induced and 10 hours active labour. So much faster! But no drugs and was much more aware

1st @ 37 weeks 15 hr labour
2nd @ 40 + 2 12 hr labour
3rd and 4th induced at 38 weeks 2 1/2 hrs and 4 hrs

39+3, I did walk 9 miles nearly every day for 2 weeks to try and get him shifted though haha!

Sorry I missed my labour. My water broke at 3 am, my 9lb 3 oz son was born at 6 am the same morning. I think I got lucky haha

1: 39w exactly. Approx 5 hour labour
2: 39w5d. Approx 6 hour labour

38 weeks

15 days late.

Induced at 37 weeks.
Failed induction.
C section at 37+5
