STMs - At what week did you deliver your first?

Jbabylove2016 · February 2016

For STMs (and so on!), at what week did you deliver baby #1? Just curious how close to your due date it was! I know I can look up stats and, but just curious to hear from real people.

DS came at 39+1

yogahh · February 2016

It's funny I had this convo with mil yesterday. With her first, dh's sis, she went into labor the day after her dd. With DH she went into labor the day she was due. I was surprised that her two children where on time. Does that ever really happen?

jenl1681 · February 2016

DS was 41w4d and DD was 42w

Jenly17 · February 2016

DD arrived 4 days after her due date. I tried every old wives tale the night before my water broke. I was desperate!

Eta: 40+4

kbrands7 · February 2016

My water broke and DS came at 39+1.

Eta: He was born by csection later that day because he was breech.

Bltbear82 · February 2016

DS was born at 39+4, contractions started at 39+2, water broke at 39+3.

Huskerfanz · February 2016

Lurking from June

38 weeks with DS

kami09 · February 2016

42 weeks

sdee211 · February 2016

My water broke spontaneously at 36 weeks exactly with DS.

proudparent2b · February 2016

On average the first child is born just after 41 weeks, according to my birth prep class yesterday.

40+4

hellogoodbye2 · February 2016

40w4d via induction

zekesmommy611 · February 2016

41w water broke, DS was breech so I ended up with a csection

Mellbow · February 2016

37 + 3 days. Water broke at home and didn't notice anything prior to that...other than normal uncomfortable getting close to the end feelings.

NB817 · February 2016

39w 1d, but it was a scheduled C-section sooo not sure I count

BlueJuice · February 2016

DD1 was born at 28 weeks, DD2 at 40+4. Technically DD2 wasn't my first, but she was my first trial of labor, so I'm not sure but I think statistically she'd be treated like a first.

chottomotto · February 2016

My first was induced at 41 weeks (8lbs + 21") and my second was induced at 40 weeks (7lbs2oz + 21").

doozer1345 · February 2016

DD came 39w and 2 days

jhjelmberg · February 2016

40+4 he was 8lbs6oz, ended up a c section after 4 hours of pushing

TXmamatobe · February 2016

Induced but at 39 weeks exactly due to excess amniotic fluid

helleebellee · February 2016

38+4. I was induced because I was at 3.5cm and was gbs +. My dr didn't want to risk me going on my own and not being able to get the antibiotics. Probably a good thing because labor was only 5 1/2 hours start to finish. If I'd gone on my own, I wouldn't have gone in right away, plus a 45 minute drive to the hospital, I probably wouldn't have had enough time for 2 bags of antibiotics.

mmemartinez · February 2016

38w4d, water broke early one morning. 21 hrs later I had an emergency c-section as the cord was caught on his shoulder.

VS2016 · February 2016

I went into labor at 40 weeks exactly.

JoMunson · February 2016

I'm a FTM but my mom had three kids and here's how it went:
first baby was late by one day (can you believe that?!)
second baby was born one day early.
third was two weeks late. The midwives (he was a home birth) told her after her water broke she had 15 minutes to get the baby out before they took her to the hospital. One of the midwives the night before my little brother came told my mom to untie any knots in the house- even on shoes or clothes- to help unblock energy and get the baby moving. It worked!

mello13 · February 2016

36 + 2. Contractions started around midnight and were about 20 minutes apart, and I went to the hospital the next day. Doctor broke my water, but it was less than 4 hours from triage to baby. Very, very fast.

khochanadel · February 2016

Any moms of multiples out there? I'm curious how your time lines looked.

mels823 · February 2016

37 weeks exactly. It went really fast too. My water broke around 4 AM, contractions started slowly around 9 AM, by 1 pm I was nearing being fully dilated when they finally realized baby was breech, so emergency C section by 3. Very quick process!

dandyleah · February 2016

DD #1- water broke at 37w5d
DD #2-born at 36w3d

lionstigersbears · February 2016

thismakes4 · February 2016

2.red.heads · February 2016

41 weeks, 6 days. I was induced - it was a loooong process but I felt great all through my pregnancy.

baby #2 came fast and furious at 39 weeks.

Par13 · February 2016

40w5d via induction

Scottwswife · February 2016

34 weeks. This time I'm high risk and on bed rest and progesterone to keep this bun in the oven longer.

MrsO11/24/2006 · February 2016

maddenmm · February 2016

LondonToSavannah · February 2016

39 +5 - induced

laurenmdrn16 · February 2016

Not sure if I count, but my son was 34wks by emergency CS due to my pre-e and HELLP.

My mom said that my older sister was born at 38wks, I was 42 wks (yo, it was comfy in there and I didn't want to leave!), and my younger sister was 39wks so I guess it really varies. Ironically, it kind of mirrors our personalities because my older sister is always on the move, I am more an object at rest that likes to stay at rest, and my younger sister is somewhere in the middle.

This baby is going to be evicted at 38wks by RCS due to my history and her size.
