Hi Ladies - I'm lurking from November 2012 BMB. It seems like everyone has an opinion about when the first baby is born in comparison to their EDD. Some say "you're always late". So I thought I'd conduct my own research!
I know my baby will come when he's ready, I'm just curious. TIA :-)

Re: Clicky Poll: When did you deliver?
Ny due date after 2 failed inductions lol
same.
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

I was one day late, water broke (actually had been leaking for a few days prior)
41w4d... Scheduled to be induced that morning (8am), but went into labour on my own at 3am.
If it helps, my midwives said that 80% of women who get an induction date, go into labour on their own that day.
This is what happened to me! DS1 was born at 40w6d, it was a Thursday, we had scheduled an induction for the following Monday, and I went into labor that night.

I was 41 weeks, exactly! I was scheduled to be induced later that morning and my water broke at 12:51am! Layla Rose made her arrival at 11:53am.. never again do I want to do that.. lol I got Mirena put in at my 6 wk pp checkup. DH wants another one, so I told him MAYBE he can convince me otherwise in a few years. Otherwise..im very content with my beautiful girl
Besides, he has one who will be starting college (my Step son is 14) by the time Layla will start kindergarten..so a lot may change in say..5 years when Mirena needs to come out.

With DD I never went into labor. C/S at 42w1d
DS we scheduled for 39w2d
The one I'm carrying will be scheduled for 39w.
This is my SS, HERE YOU GO:
Exactly this for me
DS1: Quinn - 10.22.10 and DS2: Cole - 01.18.13
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!
