At how many weeks did your first arrive?

[TTEA]

Pregnant with my first. I know everyone is different, however am curious to know...

...when did your first arrive? I'm hoping for 40 weeks but not to go too far overdue. Fingers crossed!

@TTEA , 42 weeks and yes, I found after 39 weeks very difficult. It got to the point where I could only sleep sitting up with my head & arms leaning against a wall. Having said that, it was only 2 weeks and he did come out eventually. All babies go :)

39+4

Do, not go

@caitlinn bless his cottons!

24 weeks.

And then DS2 made it to 38 weeks.

39.6!

41 weeks

34

37+3, then was frustrated because my second didn't arrive til 38+5

42+1

40+12. I didn't gain a huge amount of weight until those 12 days, when I baked to keep myself busy, then ate it all!

And here's me looking at my belly at 28 weeks thinking I can't possibly get any bigger I'm so wrong aren't I?!

40+11

Yep, pretty uncomfortable after around the 39 week mark. They all come out eventually though.

DS1 was 40+12 - I was induced and in hindsight I think my dates might have been wrong and he just wasn't quite ready arrive. I didn't start to get fed up until I was about 10 days overdue. I struggled to walk for the last couple of weeks as had SPD and he was lying very low, but it was winter so I was happy to be warm all the time.
DS2 was 40+10 - he came of his own accord which I was pleased about as I didn't want to be induced again. I was fed up by about 36 weeks and had awful SPD so could barely do more than shuffle, some days I could only crawl. But he was 9lbs 6oz (a lot heavier than DS1) and my poor hips/pelvis just couldn't support the weight. It was also summer so I was melting!

41 weeks

40 + 13 - I was thoroughly fed up at the end with a failed 4 day induction ending in emcs. Don't remember feeling anymore uncomfy then than at 35 weeks.

40+5 for me (by an hour!), though went into labour at 40+4.

Hoping this one will be earlier as i had awful hip pain and was definitely struggling, though only 8 weeks at the moment so a long way to go!

38+4 for my first

37+3 for my second

36+5 DTs, measured 56 weeks pregnant 🤪

Induced at 39, arrived by section 39.3

@Iwantaunicorn, How is it possible to measure 56 weeks?!? Blimey

36 week exactly
34 +1
35 exactly
34 weeks exactly

42+1

40+3 for me!

My first was 41+6...as was my fourth. My middle two were both 39 and change. I read somewhere ages ago that for a typical low-risk first pregnancy statistically goes closer to 41 and a bit than pregnancies thereafter which are close to 40 but there is obviously a huge range.

Personally, I found the 35-38 the longest/most uncomfortable time and after that I could move fine, went on some lovely walks then, but mostly just trying to keep my mind off the 'anytime now, please' feeling.
