Question for STM's

LaurendaMB · June 2013

When did you all have your first baby? My sister and I are both nearing our due dates and we recently heard that FTM's can easily last 42 weeks - and the average is 41 weeks! We thought we were close but now we feel so far away!

Not a STM, but I found this article:

https://spacefem.com/pregnant/charts/duedate6.php

I heard the "average FTM" went into labour at 41w1d, but I just couldn't see how that makes sense based on all of the FTMs I know! Sure, some go that late, but to call that the average didn't really make sense.

I was induced early for medical reasons. But most of my friends went past their due dates with their first children. Hang in there!

WheeLinTheSky3 · June 2013

40 weeks 1 day

Rubygirl · June 2013

Every pregnancy is different for every person. I had to be induced with my first.

My friend had her first at 37 weeks and her second didn't come until 41 weeks.

Monilee1017 · June 2013

My sister and I are both pregnant as well with our firsts. Her due date was the 18th of this month and she's still hanging in there. I'm not due for 5 more weeks but have a feeling ill be going over as well.

CNJ4EVA · June 2013

I was induced at 40w6d and delivered by c section at 41w exactly.

sdtchica13 · June 2013

I had a preemie the first time, so I am the wrong person to ask, but most of my friends went either just before, on or well after their due date. I would expect to go at least 40 and not be shocked if you go later...the waiting game sucks though, these babies can be such little teases.

thegoodpotato · June 2013

41 weeks exactly.

CupcakeGirl08 · June 2013

SarahinMD · June 2013

Three days before my due date, went into labor naturally (not induced).

headgear03 · June 2013

With my first I went to 42 weeks no induction . My second was ten days late and my third was three weeks two days early. You just never know. I always tell myself my due date is actually 42 weeks that way I don't get anxious . I tortured myself with my first thinking everyday would be THE day I'm not willing to do that agian.

TheLittleRedM · June 2013

Averages are found with extremes (super early and super late). I use to worry about how late or early my baby would be based on 'averages' until my dad drilled that into my head. Now I just figure it'll happen when baby decides and that averages have nothing to do with my personal experience. Not to say that it can't be right, of course, but there is also a ton of room for it being wrong.
