I was lying in bed last night wondering about when my baby would make her grand entrance into the world. For those of you who already have little one's, how close (or far away) from your actual due date did your first baby come? Did you go naturally into labor or were you induced? C-Section or Vaginal??
I know this doesn't tell anyone anything as far as when a baby will arrive, but I am just curious to know for the fun of it!
Re: 2+ mama's.....
I had my 1st the day after my due date, no induction needed. Doesn't get much closer then that!
2012 Races: 3/18 Shamrock Shuffle 5k; 4/14 E.R. Race for Autism 5k (PR! 25:58); 6/9 Riudoso Sprint Triathlon; 6/24 Chunky Monkey 10K; 7/29 Cochiti Lake Olympic Triathlon; 9/16 Chips & Salsa 1/2 Marathon; 10/21 Duke City 1/2 Marathon; 12/2 Rock & Roll 1/2 Marathon in Vegas!
With DD1, I went into labor naturally 2 days before my due date. I had a vaginal delivery.
DD2 was induced 1 week before due date, vaginal delivery.
my read shelf:
DD came 5 days past her EDD and I went into labor naturally and labored for 30 hours before delivering her vaginally. My water didn't break until I made my first push.
Hopefully DD2 will come faster than 30 hours but I won't mind if she's late.
I?ve given birth now to three sons my first was born at just 37 weeks - 2 days. It was accompanied by an epidural being administered at 5.5-6 cm but, wore off just as I started into heavy labor contractions with all the pushing so it ended up being what my doctor called - basically a natural birth, I have not been induced with any of my three births which ended up all being vaginally delivered. In birth two he was born at 38 weeks - all natural; birth three went to his due date, also a natural birth. NO C-sections for me!
DD1- induced 2 days after EDD. Vaginal birth
DD2-induced 5 days before EDD. Vaginal birth
With DS, I was scheduled to be induced at 14 days past my EDD. I went into labor 7 hours before we were supposed to check into the hospital. He was born vaginally with a vacuum assist after 40+ hours of labor and nearly 4 hours of pushing. I think he was comfortable in there, and didn't really want to come out!
Now I'm 37 weeks and already having contractions. I'm really hoping this babe comes early and with less resistance!
