How many weeks were you when you went into labour?

41 & 5 days baby 1, 41 & 6 days baby 2!

AnneLovesGilbert · 21/06/2026 22:26

40+3

Strawberrycheesecake7 · 21/06/2026 22:29

39 weeks exactly with my first. I’m not sure if it counts because I was induced, but the labour started really quickly after the induction so I think my body was ready anyway, and I was already having contractions. With my second I went into spontaneous labour at 39 weeks and 6 days.

40+5 and 40+2 went into labour spontaneously both times

rainNshine · 21/06/2026 22:50

37+4 with my first. 40+3 with my second. Both spontaneous labours. I was convinced I’d go early second time, so it felt like the longest pregnancy ever!

DramaAlpaca · 21/06/2026 22:59

I was 39+2 with two of mine, and 40+5 with the middle one. All spontaneous labours.

KylieKangaroo · 21/06/2026 23:09

38 weeks and then 39+5

I was not prepared for the first one to be early as everyone told me I'd go overdue! I'd only just finished up at work and there she was.

40+5 delivered the next day
41+6 delivered 2 hours 13 minutes later

Nsky62 · 21/06/2026 23:11

arrabellarock · 21/06/2026 23:12

39+6, 40+6 (after a sweep) and 40+4.

37+5, I was actually booked in for an induction at 38 weeks and really wanted to try everything to bring on labour before, clary sage oil and stair walking did the trick

TheSmallAssassin · 21/06/2026 23:19

41+5 for my first, and 41 for my second.

Shopaholic100 · 21/06/2026 23:20

41+3 induction
41+6 "spontaneous" as I had sweeps.
Both slow progression. Ended in c section the first time after masses of intervention. Ended in non consensual ventous the second time as I was actively pushing him out without issue. He wasn't stuck. Wasn't struggling. They just wanted to show their student a ventous birth. I said no, she replied yes and cut me.

Anyone that tries to touch me this time (baring actual life threatening scenarios) will be losing their hand so we'll see when this one comes.

ttcnumero2 · 22/06/2026 09:48

Waters broke 37+5 and contractions started that afternoon. Gave birth 37+6 4am!

Thuraya17 · 22/06/2026 12:17

41 weeks exactly with my first, currently pregnant with my second but only half way so no idea but I’m expecting another late one as I prefer to wait for spontaneous labour.

ChasingRainbow5 · 22/06/2026 15:17

I didn't really, I was induced at 40+10 and had a c-section at 40+12.

DelphiniumBlue · 22/06/2026 15:31

36, 37,37 weeks, all started early morning and job done before lunch.

Meadowfinch · 22/06/2026 15:36

40+5. Ds arrived 7.50am, 41 weeks.

By that time I was so tired, I had no idea why I was in hospital, and went to sleep for another six and a half hours. 😁
