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

I was 39+3 (4days before dd) with dd1. She was already 9lb312oz so I'm glad she didn't go any longer!!

40+3, but I went into labour on her due date. It was a very long labour.

NotAPartyPerson · 02/03/2025 09:46

41+6 (and I was induced!)

24CRZZNKKA · 02/03/2025 09:54

41+4

I was induced at 39+2 because of high BP, finally had her on 39+5 emergency section x

Strangely I was almost exactly like my mum.

I was 3.5 weeks early with my eldest, 2 weeks early with my second and had an elective c-section with my 3rd so a week early.

36+5

37+1. Induced for pre-eclampsia.

Catmum55566 · 02/03/2025 16:39

39+ 5, quick labour, all over and done in the same day. I was very lucky!

jelliebean9 · 02/03/2025 20:37

Another vote for 'everyone said I'd go to 42 weeks' and then I went into spontaneous labour at 38+2 and was NOT prepared at all cos I believed all the other people'

Summerbaby81 · 02/03/2025 20:39

36 + 4 and that was because she wanted to say "hi" to daddy on Father's Day 🥰😂

CatCaretaker · 02/03/2025 21:04

She came on due date, 40+0.
