When did you go into labour with your first baby?

[mouse1234567]

Hi all,
I’m currently 37 + 5 and starting to think about the next few weeks and when labour will come. In my understanding most first time mums go past their due date. Just wondering -when did you go into labour with your first baby? Thanks all.

Hi, I was 40+6 when I went into labour with my first

My waters broke at 37 weeks exactly and I had ds the next day after being induced the evening before.

40+3 waters broke. Labour didn't start and I passed meconium so I was induced and had him the next day at 40+4.

[Pleasenodont]

40+3. I had a sweep at 40+1 and contractions started the following day, 24 hour labour ensued. My next two were also born at 40+3.

[Whitelighttrainwreck]

Contractions started (were explained away as braxton hicks) at 36+4 he arrived bang on 37 weeks.

[YesItsMeIDontCare]

Waters broke at 37+6, DS was born 27hrs later.

And having been told that alllllll first borns are late I was not expecting that!

[Soubriquet]

38+4

I had threatened pre term labour at 28 weeks which required a lot of medical treatment. After that I had contractions every couple of weeks

Finally went into proper labour at 38 weeks

My first was about 4 weeks early, went into Labour the day she was supposed to be turned (breech) So ended up with an emergency section. Hoping I don't go over this time, patience isn't my virtue 😂

[MeadowHay]

39+6 and she was born the next day on her due date!

Now!
39+5. Although I'm 24 hours in and don't feel I'm getting any closer to actually giving birth!

[PrincessButtockUp]

I went into labour on my due date and baby actually arrived the following day.

[crazycatlady7]

DS was born at 39+6, went into labour and he was here 2.5hrs later (and a lot of drama as he was breech but we found out too late). He's my 1st

[firstimemamma]

41 weeks (went into labour spontaneously)

[Hellohello2020]

36+3 waters broke, baby born 30 hours later
