How many weeks did you have your 1st baby?

[Lila99]

I’m 36 weeks and wondering when it will be! Obviously everyone is different but I’m interested to hear stories!

I'm currently 41 +2, first baby, will be watching with interest for tales of being overdue!

It's been suggested that I go in for induction on Sunday if I don't give birth before then...

38 weeks :)
At 37+5 I was at work all day had a routine midwife app - got there she asked what had happened to me. Apparently I was very swolen and hadn’t noticed ! She sent me straight to triage as my blood pressure was so high and pre-eclampsia was confirmed. Had steroid injections for 2 days and then had little one !
Gutted I missed my last days at work! Weirdly felt fine also I didn’t have a clue

37+3 with my first :)
Currently 13+2 with number 2 and wondering whether they will be early like their brother!

42 weeks, went for induction at 41+5 but ended up with section.

I was 41 exactly.

Midwife tried to give me a sweep at 40, she couldn't reach haha! Booked in to try again at 41 but my waters broke in the night before the appointment and DD arrived by tea time.
I'm currently 7 weeks with #2

Congratulations!!

40+3. I'm sure my sweep at 40+1 helped

38+1

38 weeks the next two were 37 & 38 weeks.

37 + 4.
Complete shock as I assumed I would go over as everyone told me that you do with your first.

Oh and I’m 32+5 with no 2 now and hope that he follows in his brothers footsteps. I have been told I will be induced at 40 weeks due to GD so I’m hoping I won’t get that far.

39+1 - everyone told me first babies are late so I was pretty surprised. No early labour symptoms either, waters just broke out of nowhere

40+5 the night I decided to relax about him being late my waters broke at 2am!

39 exactly

40+1.

41 weeks. The last week felt like a month.

37 and totally unexpected.
Antenatal classes were due the next day as previous one had been cancelled so I basically was a bit unprepared!

39+1 with number one, numbers two and three arrived together at 36+1 by ELCS due to pre-eclampsia.

41+2... going 9bdays overdue felt like a lifetime! I refused all sweeps, induction etc (as baby was safe and well, would have done one if otherwise) and I'm so glad I let my labour start naturally. He was born very quickly (no time for any pain relief!) with no complications.

41 exactly had a sweep at 40 was the most painful thing ever and was booked in exactly a week later for another. Thankfully he made an appearance just before that appointment 33 weeks now hoping I don't go over.

Forty-fucking-two plus one! I had 4 sweeps in total and while uncomfy they weren’t too bad (but then none of them worked, so maybe midwife was too cautious!) - if I’d known how truly ok induction would be, I’d have gone for it sooner.

40+6

39+3 spontaneous labour. Had a feeling I’d be early the whole way through the pregnancy but was scared to really believe it in case I went 2 weeks over and was disappointed! I just had a feeling he’d arrive the week before his due date and he did!

Waters went at 39+2 and born at 39+4. Totally wasn't expecting it, I had no signs of imminent labour and assumed I'd be going overdue.

All three of mine were born at 40+3, so very consistent . I went into labour at 40+2 with DC1 and 3, DC2 was a quick six hour labour.

40+1
I was induced at 40 weeks.
