15 days early.

Drives me NUTS when people say to FTMs 'You'll probably go late' or 'Labor for a FTM is usually 12hrs+'

Bullsh!t, just be ready because you never know 

 THIS! I'm a FTM and my little man just arrived at 35 weeks and labor was quick. He was in a hurry to meet his parents

DS came 39 weeks 3 days:)

caladpi02

My water broke at 36 weeks. I had a feeling she was coming early.

RissKay

FTM, 2 weeks early, so 38 weeks. From water breaking to baby it was 5 1/2 hours, and from contractions to baby was 3.

Went into labor at 31w/6d. Water broke at 32w/2d. Had him at 32w/3d, at 12:04 a.m. Hopefully, the one I'm 23w/5d pregnant with now will come AFTER 37 weeks! I so badly want to experience what it seems everyone else has experienced--a full-term baby! I'm doing the 17p injections to hopefully make that happen! Ladies who've had a *spontaneous* (not induced) premature singleton birth and are pregnant with a singleton now, go to the March of Dimes website and do a search there for "17p" or "alpha hydroxyprogesterone caproate"! It could let you have a full-term birth next time!!

acrazydaisy

No offense, but 4 days is not early. Full term is 37 weeks, so you were full term.

acrazydaisy

You're baby wasn't early. (No offense.) Full term is 37 weeks, so yours was totally full term and so were you and your brothers.

acrazydaisy

Yes, with medical intervention, a baby can definitely survive at 26 weeks. Although of course the later in the pregnancy that a baby is born, the better.

blansaw

40 weeks exactly.  She was born on her due date.

scoobydoo267

 i have had eight kids and my eight one i had 4 weeks before her due date

sbevmc09:

I don't think your poll isn't going to be very accurate because scheduled C/S and inductions will throw it off.  You would probably be better off polling only FTMs who went into labor naturally.

FWIW, I had DD at 41+2 via scheduled C/S after she flipped breech at 40 weeks.

My advice to you would be to just plan on the full 42 weeks of pregnancy so as not to get fixated on any one date and if you deliver before then it's an added bonus

GL!

Sbevmc has good advice, planning on the long haul may keep you from going crazy if you don't go early.

FWIW, I was induced at 39 weeks with DD1 due to size, her head and my pelvis. I also have a bone/joint issue.

stlmomma27

I had a scheduled c-section at 39 weeks 1 day.

UberBiz

Oh shoot, I answered wrong! My first baby was born 39-40 weeks (39w2d) and my second was born before 37 (36w4d).

bregrobb

Ten days late, and I still wasn't dilated at all. Ended up going with a c/s as my cervix was still rock hard.

mariankn

I have 5 kids - #2 was born on her due date. All the others were born one to two weeks early.

I'm so grateful that I was never overdue, running back and forth for monitors every 2 days. Before I got nervous and antsy, I had a baby

tiffany_22

Same for #2!

ap142193

It can happen. The youngest surviving pre-term baby (as of 2011) was 21 weeks and 5 days.

ninambutler

My baby was IUGR so I was induced at 38 weeks for failure to thrive. I had 2 failed inductions with no cervical change over 3 days and ended up with a section.

punky917

DS was born at 26 weeks due to pPROM. DD born at 39w4d after being induced. I chose to be induced due to GD.

PennyLane26

37w5d I was induced for pre-e but was already in early labor before the official induction began.

holagal

3 weeks 1 day before my due date.

ascott654

39 weeks and 6 days

Mufflerlove

FTM and Induced at 41 w 4 d

bumpuser3155624

I was induced at 40w 5d.

dhreczuck

FTM and induced at 41wk 1 day, ended up c section 41 wk 3 days..

heatherbrownm

41 w 1 day, but only because I was induced due to preeclampsia. When I went in I was 1cm and 50% effaced, so who knows how long it would have been if I'd been able to let her come on her own time.

fireflyz56

40 weeks, 4 days.

blush64

My first was a week early. I was only overdue with my third.

Robi1

FTM, spontaneous labor at 38w 5d. Definitely a surprise after all the ftm=late comments I got...

carrotcake06

DS1 at 37w1d. Water broke spontaneously at 3am. He was born vaginally at 1255pm.

DS2 and DS3 at 34w. Water broke spontaneously at 445pm and they were born via emergency c/s at 604pm and 605pm [DS2's cord had prolapsed].

amandalgreene86

Contractions started 7 days after my EDD but I had LO 8 days after my EDD with c/s. (LONG LABOR that never progressed.)  I had been scheduled for induction for 9 days after my EDD.

RIngReady

I delivered one day prior to his due date. 

He was my first. 

c-elizabethf

Due date was may 25th, Went into labor at exactly 39 weeks on the 18th and delivered on the 19th.

smellychelly25
