First baby! Officially 8 months pregnant... wondering when your first baby's arrived? I know it's different for everyone but intrigued as most people have said it's common to be late with your first! 🥳

40 weeks. Bang on his due date.

My first was 4 days late. My second was 7 days early.

Both my boys were born on the days they were booked to be induced 🙄
1st 41+6
2nd 40+5

Mammatobearandaxel · 14/04/2022 21:07

42+2 via induction. LO showed absolutely no signs of coming on his own!

FTMworrier · 14/04/2022 21:09

39+2 spontaneous labour 🤗

Lou2022 · 14/04/2022 21:47

11 days over and was pulling my hair out! Had a sweep and she came a few days later. Was booked for induction on day 12 but was glad she came before as it meant I could have my water birth on the MLU

40+3 but was induced 40+1 and took 2 days for him to arrive!

I was fully expecting to go to 40+10 and be induced as I found everyone I knew was induced with their first. Had the shock of my life at 37+6 when my waters went and DD arrived the following morning.

10 days late!

Snowflakes1122 · 15/04/2022 17:50

6 days late. Which was a good thing, because she was due on Christmas Day.

Not long to go now for you. Exciting Smile

Snoringmonkey · 16/04/2022 08:57

40+10, 2 days before his induction date.

mrscotton · 16/04/2022 09:03

StampOnTheGround · 16/04/2022 09:24

39+4 - contractions started at 39+2, waters broke at +3 and he finally came at +4!
