Poll: When did you give birth?

FutureMrs.Brady · October 2008

What week? Early? Late? Induced? Water broke? Emergency C-section?

My friends/family members are all having babies this year. So I'm just curious.

Well, I gave birth at 37 weeks and DD was my first. My water broke on it's own.

May524 · October 2008

Exactly 37 weeks. I had pre-e and was induced. My water broke
(on it's own) about 3 hours after I received pitocin.

mattnlinz03 · October 2008

41 weeks went into labor on my own. DS is our first.

induced

chihuahua26 · October 2008

I was 39w3d but I was induced because I was miserable and having intense itching.

GinandTonic · October 2008

With my first, I was 10 days early - he was big, if he had stayed in there, he would have been nearly 11 lbs.

With my second, 3 days early.

JillAly · October 2008

I gave birth one year ago tomorrow! Time really flies.

I just went to my 36 week appt and my doctor sent me straight to the hospital for an emergency c-section (due to very severe pre-e).

Bloomiemom · October 2008

Exactly one week late, not induced, water broke on it's own, vaginal delivery. DS is my 1st.

aimeelv · October 2008

Zachary was originally due Feb. 10, but they changed my due date to Feb. 2 halfway through my pregnancy based on u/s measurements. He was born on Feb. 9, so according to my original EDD he was one day early, or by my corrected EDD, he was 6 days late. I didn't have a LMP to date the pregnancy by since I was on BC when I got pregnant.

I went into labor on my own. He's our first baby.

tmp-354536812503300 · October 2008

1st child, 38th week, 10 days early, water broke but had to have Pitocin to move things along and wound up w/ an Emergency C anyway. Water broke at 6:17am and DS was born at 3:59pm

Brina Bean · October 2008

I gave birth on my EDD exactly, which also happened to be our one year wedding anniversary! Smile

Nichole06 · October 2008

I was 41 weeks, 5 days. I was induced, and ended up in a c/s. He is our first baby.

elective induction

FSUSammy · October 2008

Exactly 39 weeks. I was induced due to high blood pressure and ended up in an emergency c-section because he was stuck.

jessicada76 · October 2008

4 days before my due date. I was induced. I hade gestational diabetes and they thought she was getting too big. I never dilated so they gave me something (can't remember the name) on Wednesday night. Thurs. morning they started me on Pitocin. I started pushing at 7:00pm-9:30pm and finally went for an emergency c-section. DD head was crooked and my pelvis was too small. She was born at 10:52pm.

johnsoar · October 2008

I gave birth at 39 weeks 1 day (Tuesday morning)...early labor started at 38 weeks 4 days (late Saturday evening). A small second bag of water broke Monday night and I was admitted. The ER dr broke my actual bag of water around 1:30am. DD was born at 8:52am.

greta&tess · October 2008

dd1- induced at 39 wks for high blood pressure

dd2- labor on my own and delivered exactly on my edd

Both vaginal

Temp778367875008010 · October 2008

DS is my first. He was born 5 days late. My water broke on its own and contractions never really kicked in. I ended up on Pitocin after several hours of trying to get labor to kick in. I never got past 5cm, so after 31 hours, I had a c-section.

jennhawk · October 2008

40 weeks, 3 days. First baby. Water never broke, even after 8 hours of contractions. Had non-emergency c-section b/c dd was over 10 lbs.

Mrs Manners · October 2008

I started preterm labor at 31 weeks and my membranes ruptured the next day. It was a slow leak so I didn't lose much fluid at once so they put me in the hospital on bedrest and stopped my contractions. I gave birth at 33 weeks when the rest of my bag of water broke in a gush.

EEC1979 · October 2008

I gave birth one day after my due date, so 40 weeks, 1 day. I went into labor naturally but my water did not break on its own, they broke it at the hospital. I had a vaginal delivery.

moonglo · October 2008

Lillian was born 4 days early. She came via c-section since she was breech.

Mrs.N_2005 · October 2008

39wks, induced, midwife broke my water

Erika6504 · October 2008

Induced at 39w5d due to "advanced dilatation" and the fact that I was miserable. I was 4-5cm dilated for days and the Dr's decided that she probably wasn't going to come without a little bit of encouragement. I was just glad to get her out of there.

So, after 12 hours of labor, 2 hours of pushing and a vacuum, DD was born.

bksp1 · October 2008

I was 4 days early. I started having contractions but I wasn't progressing like I should have so they had to help me along. They broke my water and gave me as much pitocin as they could. I was pretty much seconds away from a c-section since she got stuck but I finally got her out.

LoriFalce · October 2008

Three days late. 10:30 pm. Emergency CS after 26 hours of labor.

StageDva · October 2008

I was 3 days late. Went into labor naturally.

Carifly · October 2008

40 weeks and 1 day. She was almost on time! I went into labor myself, although after many hours of labor ended up with an emergency c-section.

disney04 · October 2008

I went into labor at 38.5 weeks and was 4cm when I got to the hospital an hour and a half later. A few hours later the nurse checked to see how far dialated I was and as she did my water broke and I was also compete and ready to push. After a few pushes, Ella was born

She is our first!

calgary_wife · October 2008

41 weeks 4 days

Induced...ended up with c-section!

kelly&marty · October 2008

39 weeks

Scheduled induction, due to GD and growth u/s suggesting he'd be over 9 pounds, more if they waited another week (and I was showing no progress). Induction failed, had c-section. He was 7 pounds 8 ounces.

augs06 · October 2008

38 weeks exactly. Fallon was just ready to enter the world early.

LindsayP2007 · October 2008

40w 5d. Went to hospital b/c of a fall on the stairs. Baby's heartrate indicated distress, they tried inducing to see if it would help, and it didn't. Ended up with a c-section. Very different from the the natural birth I was hoping for.

MelissaPete · October 2008

With ds I was 40w2d and I was induced (I had been 3cm dialated since 34 weeks), had a vaginal delivery- 11 hrs total (3 pushing)

With dd I was induced at 38w3d because my midwife was worried dd would be bigger than my ds if she was in there until she chose to come out (had a very difficult pushing experience with ds bec he was too big) I was 4 cm dialated for 32 weeks and everyone thought I was going to go into labor early. Had a vaginal delivery- close to 4 hours total (10 minutes of pushing)

beenbizzy · October 2008

First baby - induced with water break at 42 weeks. Vaginal delivery.

bride505 · October 2008

I was 3 days late. I went into the hospital at 5.5 CM around midnight on a Saturday and delivered at 7AM on Sunday. Water broke on it's own. This is my first.
