When did your first baby come?

[chicago]

I've always heard first babies tend to come late.  True for you?

[pupcake]

Yup, induced at 41 weeks.

[Jalapeñomel]

33w2d so definitely not true for me.

[Deleted]

Nope and I was so sure he'd be late. Water broke 20 days early and he was born nine hours later.

[brooklyn]

Yup, 4 days late.

[littlemisschatty]

13 days early! Totally went into labor naturally. I was happy about it, by then I was DONE being pregnant.

[Brie]

Yup, induced at 41w1d, born at 41w2d.

[curbsideprophet]

38w4d

[magpie]

Induced 2 days before my due date after my blood pressure shot up at ny last doctor's appointment.

[anelms]

Induced at 40 weeks due to baby developing an arrhythmia

[pierogigirl]

Induced at 38 weeks due to pre-e.

Mel, yours will forever be the most special of snowflake stories!  I still bring it up to H and I don't even take public transit!  

[countthestars]

41w3d

[catbus]

I was induced at 41w2d due to NST results. E was born at 41w4d, so eleven days "late."

C-section at 37w5d due to HELLP. I have never felt a contraction.

I've never heard of HELLP, but I just googled.  Whoa.  That must have been unnerving - were you scared when they told you?  Had you heard about it/were there signs before or did you get the news on the spot?

[lmb5109]

Late. Induce 40w4d, born 40w6d

[gogadgetgo]

35w5d. Another early bird.

[scribellesam]

40 weeks 6 days

[AmyRI]

No. 39w3d with my first. My second, however, was late - 40w6d.

[rbp]

41+ weeks is winning.  :?

I am going to be NOT IMPRESSED when it's 100 degrees outside and I'm still pregnant on August 9th. LOL

[biogirl21]

Apparently mine is coming at 37 weeks(uh, hopefully, I don't want to be in labor for 2 days!). I was preparing to go up to a week late since that's as far as my doc will let you go.

[bearbaby]

Early - labor started 38w5 days, DS born via c/s very early morning 38w6d (breech baby)

Sent from my SM-G730V using proboards

[rex]

Yes. 9 days late and I was induced.

I honestly think that if I wasn't house ridden and not able to walk she would have come earlier. I was SO active until my pelvis became uncooperative.

[jr009j]

I went into labor on 39w6d and delivered on her due date.

[ilikedonuts]

I was electively induced at 40w1d. Both pregnancies I was induced at 40w1d. I was incredibly active both times and with my first I did laps around the outlet mall basically every day leading up to being induced. Definitely didn't help me go into labor!

[lindyanne]

10 days early

I was totally prepared to be huge and miserable and overdue in the heat and none of that happened really!

Grad school taught me to maintain low expectations in order to avoid crushing disappointment. 

[sent]

33 weeks due to an unexplained dropping AFI score. And in regard to your other thread, I lost out on $7K at work because things happened too early.

But you can't put a price on this little bundle sleeping here next to me, right? I get to have her in my life for 5 extra weeks! I don't count the 2 weeks she spent in the hospital because I couldn't kiss her there.

[Velar Fricative]

41w5d.

I walked the shit out of my whole pregnancy and she still wanted nothing to do with the outside; never had a single contraction until they started the pitocin. I think she'd still be in there if not for the induction.

[Deleted]

40 weeks and 1 day. I went into labor at 10 PM on my due date and DD1 was born just before 7 AM the next day.
