When did your babies come?

[dkenagy]

My first baby was an induction at 40w6d; the reason was higher and higher BPs and extreme swelling in the last 2 weeks. My second was a completely natural labor/birth at 41w1d. The third was a completely natural labor/birth--I went into labor on my EDD (I couldn't believe it was so early!!) and had her just after midnight, so technically she was born the day after her EDD. This time, I am feeling so... laborish? already and I'm barely 35 weeks. What are the odds that this baby will come early?? Really? I'm still counting on being pregnant for 5 or 6 weeks more, but I'm preparing to give birth any day now because of all the ctxs and pressure and general antsiness I've been feeling. When did your babies come?

You are proof that there is no exact science to pregancy or birth!

ds1 was 42 wks
ds2 was 39 wks, induced
ds3 was 41+ wks
dd was 41 wks 4 days

#1 - 38w, 5d.
#2 - doesn't count - scheduled repeat section at 39w, 2d.
#3 - 41w, 5d (scheduled section, but in labour at time of surgery)
#4 - 43w, 2d (emergency section, stillborn)

I expect my next one will be another scheduled repeat at about 40 weeks. I'm going to put it off as long as I feel safe doing so, but I'm not sure when that will be yet...

My first had a different father. DH and his brothers were all the product of long gestations, so I think it's in his genes.

41w, 3d

[kittywitty]

#1: On her EDD so 40 weeks
#2: Induced before EDD. EDD was wrong by over a month.
#3: Induced right before EDD. I'm stupid.
#4: Born on her EDD. I had 2, and the EDD to when I ovulated was the one she was born on. Not the u/s one.

#1 40 wks, went into labor on due date
#2 38 weeks

[columbusmomma]

#1, induced at 38weeks and 3 days, which I think I was even earlier since I didn't no my LMP and I didn't have an ultrasound after 9 weeks. For Dr's convenience(oh do I know better now!)
#2 went into labor naturally at 39weeks and 5 days! Hmmm...I still don't know anyone who's gone into labor naturally as far as any of my friends who've given birth
Sorry to rant about inductions!
