Delivery at how many weeks for FTM??

MrsShep613 · May 2013

Hey all! Just curious, is there am average of how many weeks you are for delivering your first?

OpheliaChem · May 2013

Not sure what you mean. Do you want to know how far along FTMs were when LO arrived?

afreud · May 2013

My doula told me for FTM it's 41 week plus one...so we shall see! I am doing a natural birth so I will probably start doing natural things to bring on labour when my doula gives me the go ahead

40w6d for me with DS (DD was 40w3d)

AshleyPT · May 2013

I was always told the norm in the US without intervention is 8 days past due.

I had my first at 37w4d with no complications or issue.

I was 40 weeks 1 day with DS. I've heard with your first child you can go after your due date more often.

On average a FTM/babies come late, now with that said. Each women, each baby, each pregnancy is different. There is no prediction on when you will go into labor.

My water broke @ 38 1/2 weeks with my first...

kakhmama · May 2013

I delivered both my LOs at 39 weeks.

I was 39 weeks on the nose with DS. No signs of labor, either.

I was checked at my appt and was barely a fingertip dialated, the same as the week before. As I was getting dressed after my appt, my water broke in the Dr's office. 8 hours later, DS was in my arms

Well if its gonna break, that is the best place for it to happen LOL

Shanmarie1083 · May 2013

Delivered at 38 weeks with my first and I went into labor on my own.

kje120 · May 2013

I was 37w6d with DS with no complications or issues.

kimmykaye · May 2013

I wouldn't say I'm in the norm, but here ya go.

DD1: 32wks

DD2: 36wks

DD3: maybe I'll continue in the pattern and make it all the way? we shall see.

My doc says i will go as long as baby has fluid and isn't too big!

RedDDD · May 2013

delivered #1 at 34 weeks 3 days...no prior issues - water broke early and he was breech. Still have no explanation for why.

sugarellie · May 2013

I had DS at 37wk 2days..I went into labor on my own

LaSraOrtega · May 2013

DS was born at 38w, 1d, on our 1 year wedding anniversary!

Hopefully this little girl will stay in until my due date!

psychgirl33 · May 2013

I was exactly 40 weeks when my DD was born.

Mrsdrev929 · May 2013

I had my first at exactly 40 weeks with I problems. Hoping todo the same with this lo.

aschnee · May 2013

DD was born on her due date (exactly 40 weeks) with no intervention.

Mrs. Mo · May 2013

I had some serious blood pressure issues so she was taken at 38 weeks. I do not think my body would have allowed her to stay in much longer than that.

motherof3dragons · May 2013

Had DS at 40 plus 4. I remember being really ready at that point!

starinyte · May 2013

My first was born at 41 weeks exactly through induction. I had walked around dilated to 3.5 cm for four weeks before we finally induced.

kat81again2 · May 2013

39w4d for me with DS

TristaD81 · May 2013

I went into labor at 40w 3d with DD. Had a c/s because the little bugger turned breech at the end!

RunningGal900 · May 2013

I was 41 weeks with DS

MrsMitty08 · May 2013

I was one day shy of my due date when my son was born (water broke the day before). OB would have induced me a few days later if he hadn't come on his own. I think it is typical for OBs to wait until around 41 weeks for induction if there aren't any other health concerns.
