When did you have baby?
Just curious...those without complications, inductions, etc. When did you go into labor? I always assumed that most people go around 40 weeks since that is when they set the due date...but with a room of 5 moms today at work, 4 of them went into labor at/near 36 weeks.
Thanks!

#1 41w 1 day
#2 42weeks
36 weeks is not normal, nor is it "full term" and a 36 weeker can still have significant lung issues.
By one count I was 42 weeks 6 day, by another I was 42 weeks 2 days.
The average first time mom is said to deliver at 41 weeks 2 days, however I think that average is skewed nowadays since so many people are induced for non-medical reasons before they are even a week past their EDD.?
