I'm 39 + 3 and desperate to give birth!! Tonight would be super convenient!!
So...when did you give birth?
I'll start...with DC1 I gave birth at exactly 41 weeks.

I'm very encouraged that lots of your babies came in the 39th week! There's hope for me!!!

39+5 then 39+6
Both by section, so no juggling with knives HmmGrinWink

First time: waters broke at 37+5, no labour. So was induced at 38+0 and Dd was born within 3 hours!
Second time: started having his milk contractions at 35+6, DS was born hen following afternoon at 36+0

MyBreadIsEggy · 08/09/2017 19:43

Mild contractions - no idea what my autocorrect was playing at

IrnBruTortie · 08/09/2017 19:43

2 planned c-sections, so can't really help (my babies don't like to get in the right position to be born really). Anyway, 39+2 and 41 weeks. Good luck!

strangestdirection · 08/09/2017 19:43

Both children at 39+4. That's how long my pregnancies last apparently!

Bellabelloo · 08/09/2017 19:43

37 weeks 6 days.

Muddlinalong · 08/09/2017 19:48

Both DC1 and DC2 were born at 40+4.

Bratsandtwats · 08/09/2017 19:52

42 weeks, Plus they'd already put my due date back by two weeks at my first scan, so felt like 44 weeks!!

B1rdinthebush · 08/09/2017 19:56

Twins at 30+5. Had started contracting at 27 weeks but managed to keep them in for another three weeks (with lots of hospital admissions and drugs).

You're nearly there!

NoWittyNamesAvailable · 08/09/2017 20:05

40 weeks exactly with ds1
34+3 with ds2

Hope you aren't waiting too long!

MargaretCabbage · 08/09/2017 20:40

I was very bored with being pregnant by the time DC2 made an appearance!

41+6

Failed induction, 13 hour labour ending in EMCS. Would never consent to an induction again.

toogoodnatured · 08/09/2017 21:07

Ds 37+5. Spontaneous waters breaking getting out the shower. 19.5 hours later he arrived. I suspect I had something wrong but never got to the bottom of it.
Dd 40+2 sweep at 40 weeks waters started leaking. Ds then stayed at nannies. Lost plug on the Tuesday and had first contraction 1020pm. Ds arrived swiftly at 135

n0ne · 08/09/2017 21:08

DD1 39+1
DD2 39+6 (3 days ago! Felt like I was overdue as DD1 was early and second babies are supposed to be even earlier)

Heartofglass12345 · 08/09/2017 21:15

30+4 and 33 weeks, i wouldve liked to have kept them both in longer!
