STMs first baby: Early, late, or on time?

allieb543 · June 2013

I know "they" always say your first baby tends to come late. But I have two close friends that are recent FTMs that had their babies 4 weeks early. When did your first LOs come to the party?

With my oldest, my labor started on my due date, 37 hours later she was here! I had to be induced with my second, she was 2 weeks late.

CousinVicki · June 2013

10 days late (my OB was going to go 13 days-- and i had NO desire to be induced), but my labor/ delivery was only about 8 hours total.

About 30 mins before his due date!

MrsMommyQ · June 2013

With DD, at 41 weeks 5 days I had NO progress (not dilated, not effaced, baby never dropped, nada) so they induced me. It ended in a c/s the next day.

I went into labor with my first at 39 weeks exactly....

BMnatz11 · June 2013

DS was born at exactly 39 weeks. I went into labor the day before.

39w0d.

*most* my FTM friends came early.

DS 1 was early but I was induced at 38 weeks due to preeclampsia symptoms.

DS 2 came on his own at 37 weeks :

MrsShankly1012 · June 2013

4 days late with #1

DS was ten days early. I am hoping this next one is also a little early. Before anyone gets upset, I'm talking like 39 weeks, not ridiculously early.

scarver · June 2013

I was 10days early with DS

yesthisiskim0401 · June 2013

DD1 came a day before her EDD.

ETA: Most of my mom friends went early with their kids as well. I might have one or two that went a few days past.

I went in for acupuncture on my due date and my water broke less than 24 hours later. DS was born just after midnight to make his arrival officially (but barely) 2 days late.

DD came on her own 3 weeks early. I carry so low that I think it has something to do.with it.

ABrenn · June 2013

DS came 2 days before his EDD, so "on time" in my book

mrsblueeyes · June 2013

DS came at 35 weeks, so early

MySunshine213 · June 2013

DD was 4 days early! Hoping this one gets here on time too!

spldyollie · June 2013

Day before due date on all three of my daughters.

AshleighW13 · June 2013

A week early

kdjudd · June 2013

My first baby was 8 days early. I'm hoping that is the case this time. I had an induction planned for three days in the future. I was so glad I went into labor on my own!

StayingSecret · June 2013

10 days early, but I was induced, so that skews things.

iamsarahw · June 2013

2 weeks before my scheduled csection!

Sketchipyro · June 2013

5wks early. Water broke.

kimbo1216 · June 2013

DD was 4 days late.

RobinSparkles1981 · June 2013

basically on time but technically she was 4 days early...my due date was pretty accurate due to IVF though so there wasn't that issue of "when exactly did conception occur".
