Hello!

I had another antenatal appointment last night and my midwife suggested I’d probably go over the 40 week mark – possibly even go 41 weeks due to the fact this is my first baby. Just curious how far along other mummies were when their first baby entered the world? Thanks.

  • My daughter was born at 40+3. Was a really long labour too.


  • My first was 10 weeks early and delivered by emergency c-section.


  • 4 days over for me. I was induced because my waters broke 2 days past my due date but I didn’t go into labour on my own.


  • I went 10 days over with my first baby, i was induced. He was 8 pound 14 ounces :)


  • First baby was induced 2 weeks before due date because of high blood pressure. Second baby came 4 days after due date…..


  • 41 weeks! How did you manage? My first was one day before the expected due date. My friend’s first was 3 weeks early… they’re all different. The obs did tell me I’d have a baby in a week… 2 weeks later I was still waiting…so they can get it wrong


  • My first was 1 week early (2nd 1 week late, 3rd 3 weeks early)


  • My daughter arrived 40 weeks + 4 days.


  • my first I was given two due dates, one week apart. My daughter arrived on the second due date. so I guess she was born on her due date lol…
    my second was born 41 weeks induced.


  • got induced by choice 4 days after


  • Hate when midwives and doctors do that! No one can say for sure. I was 16 and I went into labor at 38 weeks! After the dr told me I’d likely go over.


  • My first baby was born 41 weeks but had to get injuced 2nd was born 39 weeks and 3rd baby had to come 1 week and 3 days early due to stress( high blood pressure and protein in urine) all 3 babies Wer and are as healthy as anything and am thankful


  • 38 weeks 5days via induction then emergency csection. My sister was 41 and 5 days via induction and emergency csection . My SIL 40 weeks to her exact due date assisted birth.


  • My first was born on his due date, second was 4 weeks early and my twins were born @ 37 weeks as I was induced


  • Both my baby’s were two weeks over so about 42 weeks


  • First bub came on his due date and second came one day over!


  • I got induced at 41 weeks pregnant. Good luck:)


  • I was 34 weeks when bub engaged, at my 40wk check I was 3cm dilated & almost fully effaced. My doc did a stretch & sweep to help things along. Bub was 4 days over due.


  • 40+4 ! My second is due in 3 days….. My midwife said ill prob go over again


  • We were discussing when I’d see her next as she was going on holidays & hubby said he had a feeling bub may arrive a little early, to which the midwife said no, I’d go over – atleast a week.. Not something I wanted to hear hahahaha.. I’m already getting impatient :P
