What week/ day did you give birth to your first baby?

[Frenchtoastie]

I just been hearing that first babies you are likely to go over, but so many people say they had their first at 37+1 or 38+2 ect!
my hubby is at work (away) until I will be 37+3 and now getting anxious he might miss the birth

Everyone said that to me too but I had my first at 38 weeks exactly. Oddly, 7 out of the 8 other couples in my NCT group also gave birth before 40 weeks, all at 38-39 weeks…

I was 41+1. I think you'll probably get an even mix of answers saying their baby was early/late/on time, and it won't tell you whether you will be a 37 weeker or a 41 weeker, every woman and baby is different. If there's no chance he can come earlier, make sure you have a plan (birthing partner, transport etc) in place. Hoping for you that baby waits until after he's back with you. Good luck!

35+5

Waters went one evening and went down to hospital and ended up in emergency c section! He's 4 weeks old now!

Statically you're more likely to go overdue.

I went into labour with first on my due date but didn't actually give birthday until 0055hrs so he was born 40weeks plus 1.

36+5! Others were both over 40 weeks, I had a lot of bleeding which they said was due to the placenta and warned he may be early. I always knew he would be early, same as I knew I was pregnant each time immediately

DS was born at 38+6. We DTD that morning so I always wonder if we helped it along but no way of knowing really!

DS1 39+6
DS2 40+0

About 12 days late with no 1 child (although I wasn't sure about date of last period) and about 12 days early with no 2 child. I'd only finished work 2 days before.

42+1 (two sweeps but no other induction)

37+5 for my first, my waters went the day before with no warning.

So it was a bit of a shock to the system when I had to be induced with my second at 40 weeks!

Due date

2 weeks early.

My little boy was born at 34 weeks - zero warning, my waters just went during the night.

42 weeks and 3 days

DS was born on his due date. DD was born at 39w via csection.

40+3 for my first! My second is due in July so I'm intrigued as to whether or not this time I'll go past due date again

37+6, waters went the morning of 37+5, contractions started that afternoon. 4cm dilated at 3am 37+6, baby out at 4am 37+6!

4 days overdue, went into labour naturally at 3 days overdue, gave birth on a Sunday which made it 4 days overdue.

I was on my due date! Of my Nct group, all first babies, half were early and half were late. I don't think you can guess!

30+4

40+0 9 hr labour weighed 7lbs 2oz. Completely average.

36+3 with my first- but was induced due to pre-eclampsia and ended in emergency section.

My waters broke with my second at 38 weeks, but labour didn't progress, so was another section.

DD1 32 weeks
DD2 31 weeks

Both were in the SCBU for a while, but no long lasting effects

Dd come on her due date

DD came on due date. DS was five days early.
