How many of you had babies who naturally came at 37/ 38 weeks?

Just curious really! Feel like I'm in for a long old wait but would love to know. I've heard of a couple at 39 weeks and many 41/42 weeks but not many earlier, despite this being term.

My waters broke at 37 weeks exactly. Baby was somewhat reluctant to come out after that, but eventually made an appearance at 37+2!

Yes all of mine came completely naturally between 36+5 and 38 weeks
All easy short labours

Waters broke at 37 +0 (2am!) And baby arrived at 37+1(5pm). Actually labour/contractions for about 17hrs not 40 though!!

Had both mine early DS 12 days, and DD 17 days.

1st 39+6, 7 hour labour, born 11 mins after water broke
2nd 37+2, 90min labour, born 15 mins after water broke.

One out of 4 was early, exactly 38 weeks. Very indicative of his personality.

I had my first at 38+3, five hour labour.

My youngest came naturally at 36 weeks. I'll be pissed if this next one is any later 😂

Mine were 38 weeks and 39 weeks, both absolutely fine!

My waters broke at 36+5, DS was born a few hours later. He was the size of a term baby but we were in hospital for 9 days because he was jaundiced and lost a lot of weight and struggled to feed (was on a drip for a day), took a month to regain his birthweight. He has asthma (and other atopic diseases) which may be linked to his early arrival. Don't wish your pregnancy away.

My eldest came spontaneously at 37 weeks. Youngest was 40 weeks, and I felt so overdue

My first one had to be evicted at 41 weeks and my second came at 37+3

38 weeks 13 hour labour with my first. My second came at 39+6, 48 hour labour because he’s a bit more relaxed!

My first 2 came at 38 weeks quite naturally and easily. I was annoyed when the 3rd came just 1 day before her due date!!!!!

My last was born at 36 weeks. It felt late though as my other two came at 30 weeks

No 2 weeks lateam. I was too fat to push by then.

First born at 30 weeks.
Second at 37 weeks.
Third at 38 weeks.

I struggled to hang on to them!

Both of mine at 37 weeks exactly. Both exactly the same (healthy, average) weight too. Couldn't be more physically different now though!

dc3 came naturally at 38 weeks

My waters broke at 36+4 with my first and he was born the next day as labour started soon after. Currently 37+1 with DC2 and hoping this one doesn’t keep me waiting too much longer!

Me

Mine were 38,37,28,38,33 waiting on this one im 36 and in early stages of labour.

So a lot of you then! Did you have signs before?

First 34 weeks
2nd 29 weeks
3rd 35 weeks

Never got to that uncomfortable, get this baby out stage!

My water broke at 38+0 and DD arrived at 38+2. Totally unexpected especially after everyone told me that 1st babies are always late!
