When did you go into labour with your first baby?

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.

39+3 but things kicked off when I was 39+ 2. 24 hours from first signs - a show - to being born. Very quick second stage. In my circle of friends, more of us have delivered ours firsts early rather than late so I wouldn’t bank on baby being late.

I was told in my NHS birthing class that first time mums on average go 10 days past their due date . Both my sisters and my mum went well past their due dates so I figured I would be the exact same . At 37+1 my waters suddenly broke .

Sorry to tell you op but these threads are pointless because you will get every kind of answer and none of them will have any bearing whatsoever on what will happen to you!

Good luck!
