How far along were you when you delivered?

in Pregnant after 35
I was wondering, the mommies who have already had babies, how far along were you when you delivered?  If it was earlier than due date, how early and what type of care did baby need?  I am 31 weeks and my OB said he is optimistic that I could make it to 39 weeks before c-section but due to my issues to be prepared for earlier.  I was just wondering what may be in store for us.

    10 days prior to due date, and she was absolutely perfect. So 38.5 weeks.

    DS was born at 41 weeks.

    This LO will be born before 40 weeks or less as per my hospital's policy.

    My DD was born at 41w exactly (no induction but a c/s due to fetal distress when pushing).

    My baby was born at 36 weeks.  I had to be induced, due to the severe onset of pre eclampsia.  I also had to have a c section.  But we are fine now!  :)

    My baby was born at 41w2d. Was not induced and think doctors who want to induce solely because of AMA are silly. If there's a true medical reason, that's another thing, but being old is not a problem in and of itself.

    Let's see my first 44 wks, then 42, then 41, wondering when this girl will come as I'm MUCH older now! :)  Thinking I will make it to at least 40 though.

    Well, I was asking this question because we thought I might go early and we were right.  I was hoping to make it to at least 36 weeks, but that wasn't in the cards.  I had 8 fibroid tumors, placenta previa, and on the night of February 24th I went into labor with hemorraghing.  They were able to get it under control but on February 25th they saw it was an abrubtion, and not just bleeding from the previa or fibroids.  At 10:59 the morning of the 25th my beautiful son was delivered at 32 weeks and 5 days.  As I type this, we are in our hospital's NICU rooming in room.  This is our first full night to stay with our son.  We are caring for him tonight so we can get the all clear to take him home tomorrow :)  By the time we leave tomorrow, it will be 1 day shy of 3 weeks in the NICU.  Over all, he has done really well, just some issues with learning the suck, suck, swallow, breathe of eating.  He has mastered it now and we are looking forward to taking our little family home :)

    My little girl was born 6 days after my due date and my little boy was born 7 days after my due date.  I am estimating this little one will be born 8 days after my due date...but really, I have no idea.

    I've had 2 babies when I was over 35.  Labor had to be induced in both pregnancies - one at 41 weeks and the other on my due date.  No other significant complications; avoided a C section both times.  2 healthy baby boys.  Good luck to you!
