Coming up to 37 weeks - went 11 days over with my other two pregnancies.

can you tell me if you went over or not compared to your other 2 pregnancies? Not going to lie I’d be happy to give birth next week 🤣🙈

3rd baby was 3 days early ! First two were 11 days over and I had to be induced.

Jaimelefromage · 25/08/2026 15:56

First 6 days over, 2nd 2 days over, 3rd 14 days over 😭

usernamebetty · 25/08/2026 15:58

Yep, 7 days over, 11 days over and 8 days over

Was 10 days over with one and two (first was induced, second came on her own). Number three was three weeks late. Doctors kept reassessing my dates and trying everything they could think of to make it all right. She was finally induced but only because number two was born extremely small and I feared placental failure might kick in again.

To be honest, by three weeks over I was begging them to get her out, I didn't much care how!
(This was 34 years ago, when they'd let you go as long as they could and there was no automatic induction date).

I was 12 days overdue with first, 10 days overdue with second so really expecting to be overdue with third DC. Instead my blood pressure went through the roof and it wouldn't go down even in hospital on bed rest. My third baby was far bigger than first 2. In the end I was told I couldn't leave hospital until my baby was born. I had 2 other little DC to think of and Christmas approaching so I agreed to a C section. My Mum came and stayed at my home with DH and 2 DC. She looked after DC while DH worked because we desperately need the money at the time. Third baby was born 17 days early weighing 9 lbs and 4 ozs.

No, mine came 6 days early. I was induced for being overdue with my 2 older ones so it completely took me by surprise.

williteverstopraining2024 · 25/08/2026 18:34

I wanted everyone to be saying yes came a week early 🤣😭

LethargeMarg · 25/08/2026 18:36

yes was the latest of the three BUT the easiest birth

Bridgertonisbest · 25/08/2026 18:40

First 16 days over, second 10 days over but third the day after due date.

wallshade · 25/08/2026 18:49

I hit 41 weeks with no.3 after a stretch & sweep. Went into labour at 40+3 with the first 2.
Those last days were not fun!

LethargeMarg · 25/08/2026 18:36

I hope this will be the case! She’s been breech up until this week!

All 3 of my babies I went into spontaneous labour at week 38 (but I had emc emc and emc).

Should have been an elective for third but they insisted on booking it for week 40 not week 38 despite the fact that I told them I knew the baby would come at 38. So another emergency section yay

Aviarythebird · 26/08/2026 08:12

First was 10 days over. Second was 5 days over. Third was due date and by far easiest and quickest labour.

Pearandavocado · 28/08/2026 23:52

no, first baby was 10 days late, second was 11 days late and I was induced. Third baby was 10 days early!!

Poppycorn123 · 29/08/2026 04:41

All 4 of mine were overdue! But number 3 was the latest (induced after 14 days) Sorry! Best wishes 🥰

Me too- 12 days over (induced), 9 days over, and then shocked by 10 days early.

williteverstopraining2024 · 29/08/2026 07:24

@99bottlesofkombucha@Pearandavocadodid you try and bring labour on early with them? Haha if so what did you do 🤪

With dc2 I went into labour a few hours after a sweep, the sweep really hurt if I remember the right one. I had one for dc1 that hurt and didn’t start labour so who knows. I drank raspberry leaf tea…

patooties · 30/08/2026 00:13

First was 16 days late. Induced.
2nd was 10 days late. Had 3 sweeps. Arrived to be induced and had the baby 20 mins later.
3rd was 9 days late. Day before induction due (after a sweep) waters broke at midnight.
sorry OP.

irishmollie · 30/08/2026 01:02

I went 6 days over on my 3rd, 7 days over on my 2nd and 9 days over on my 1st

Dragonhugs · 30/08/2026 01:07

13 days over with my first, 14 days with my second and 10 days with my third.
My third labor was quick and easier.
I hope you're not waiting too much longer 🤞
