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

42 weeks, three times 🤨

harrietm87 · 04/10/2018 14:21

41+5! Then a lovely 3 hour water birth. Wish I’d relaxed for the last couple of weeks instead of stressing!

annlee3817 · 04/10/2018 19:27

40+5, but going by when we would have conceived I was bang on 40 weeks. They dated me as having conceived 5 days before we'd had sex :) spontaneous labour, waters trickled, then went and then she arrived quite quickly. Just over five hours all in all

40+12 and had to be induced. Well I know I didn’t HAVE to, but I was only winding myself up so demanded it 😂. Pessary I’m at 11am, DD born 3.40am the next morning with no further encouragement. One and only time she’s every slept in in the last 8 months

41 weeks spontaneous labour! I'll not be as patient this time 😂

Waters broke at 36+5 and delivered at 37 weeks! I was doing bloody everything under the sun as suggested though. Was regularly walking, kept up fitness, always on my ball, was taking primrose oil, doing yoga etc. Didn't bloody think it would make him come that early though oops.

Pebblespony · 04/10/2018 19:40

40 + 1

albert92 · 04/10/2018 20:16

@TwittleBee what do you do with primrose oil ? Never heard that before x

WeeDoughball · 04/10/2018 20:44

35 exactly

Emmafh3 · 04/10/2018 20:50

39+4

RLOU30 · 04/10/2018 21:00

36+2 but was emergency section due to a huge bleed (low placenta) so my dates are probably irrelevant Grin
Good luck OP x

DustyMaiden · 04/10/2018 21:02

33 +4. Weighed 7lbs 4oz

bourbonbiccy · 04/10/2018 21:15

38 + 5 weeks with a beautiful 5lb 14 boy

LBNM19 · 04/10/2018 23:44

38+1 with my first. Xx

PurpleFlowersInMyHair · 07/10/2018 09:13

39+3 and was 9.4lb so glad she didn’t go over!

funinthesun18 · 07/10/2018 09:51

41+0 and he weighed 7lb 11oz.
The labour was longish but very straightforward really. He’s a beautiful 7 year old now Smile

Yakadee · 07/10/2018 09:53

40+6 and he was 9lb2 x

KateTTC123 · 07/10/2018 10:28

29 and 5 days. Unknown reasons. Very anxious this time around as a result.

PavlovaFaith · 07/10/2018 10:47

40+12

PavlovaFaith · 07/10/2018 10:47

40+3

PointlessUsername · 07/10/2018 10:49

41+4

Iputthescrewinthetuna · 07/10/2018 10:57

First baby was 41+2

My sisters first came on due date.

Teakind · 07/10/2018 13:54

40+2 but went in to labour at 40+1

sue51 · 07/10/2018 13:58

36 weeks first 40 second. Verbina87 42 weeks, wow!

0lgaDaPolga · 07/10/2018 14:08

40+3 but was induced due to reduced movement at 40+1. They examined me before starting off the induction and I was already 2cm dilated unbeknownst to me so don’t think he would have been much later had I waited to go into labour naturally
