How far along were you when you birthed your babies? Just being nosy.

I was:

42 weeks for DS1 with a spontaneous delivery
40+1 weeks for DD with a spontaneous delivery
41 weeks for DS2 with a spontaneous delivery

40w 1d induced with pitocin after 'supposed pre-term labor stopped at 28 weeks'

40w she was on her due date

40w 6d had used epo and cohoshes for a few days

37w spontaneous labor, though mw and ped were convinced he was earlier and dates were off

35w 3d spontaneous labor, ped specialist at hospital after transfer was convinced he was earlier by looks but was stable.

?? due in October but both CNM and CPM and I are pretty sure she will be making her entrance in September sometime......hopefully after 35 weeks

How weird is this, i went into labor with DS at 39 weeks, 1 day, and he was born four minutes after midnight on his due date.

DD - 39+3 (Induction with prostoglandin gel. She was born the next day at 39+4. Probably the most gentle medical induction we could have had).

DS - 39+4 (spontaneous labor).

40w+1 (late ultrasound date - 43+1 by my dates and he looked very well done)
35w (she was a giant preemie! Looked tiny and obviously premature but was so long she weighed 7lb 10! Could be why she arrived early - she would have been a HUGE baby at term)
40w+1

All spontaneous births. Although I was seriously considering going in after number one!

32+6 for my twins due to pre-eclampsia. They were HUGE for their gestational age. Boychild was 6 lbs exactly and Girlchild was 5 lbs exactly. I'm wish they'd gone close to term for lots of reasons, but one of them would be to prove the "twins are always small" myth wrong.
