My dd was born at 39w4d and my ds was born at 40w4d, so exactly a week later. I have no idea when to expect this one, maybe right on the EDD?

I was 12 days past my due date with dd and 1 day before my due date w/ds

Both of my boys were born 3 days after my EDD. DS#1s EDD wasn't exact, he was a surprise. DS#2 I charted and knew 11 days after ovulation, so his date was very exact.

Sorry, didn't see the "going into labor naturally" part before I voted. Here's my stats anyway though.

#1 - 41.5wks went into labor myself

#2 - 40wks exactly - AROM due to being 7cms after 4 months PTL (I think I would have gone that night anyway - was having ctx on the way to the hospital.)

#3 - 37wks - CNM stripped my membranes without permission - must have been ready though, since it worked?

#4 - 38wks - stripped again after being on bed rest for 6 wks - I was tired of ctx. It was really long and hard so I don't think I was ready. I was silly to agree to it - won't happen again!

I labored for 3 days with each, but this is when they were born...

First - 40w6d
Second - 39w3d

So I voted "more than a week earlier."

DS was just about two weeks (13 days) early and DD was one of the lucky 5% born on her due date!

I couldn't vote for more than one. But, here's my history:
#1 - 38th week. Naturally began labor after spontaneous rupture of membranes.
#2 - 38th week. Prodromal labor for weeks and weeks. Finally I just walked myself into labor. I don't recommend messing with labor timing though!
#3 - 41st week. Naturally began labor after spontaneous rupture of membranes. Longest gestation, fastest labor.
