What week did you have your FIRST baby

Hi , I’m currently 29 weeks 2 days with my first pregnancy and just wondering if it’s true that your first baby is more likely to come late ?
Did many people have their babies early , on time or late. How many weeks were you when you gave birth? X

I was 40+3 and that was with about 2-3 sweeps. I reckon it would have been longer if I didn’t have them. Apparently it is normal to be overdue with your first as your body hasn’t done it before :)

My first was 11 days overdue and after an induction with a 46 hour labour he was born about 2 weeks late. Pregnant with my second but it’s a girl this time and it’s commonly said that your first is late and boys are late so I’m just wondering how it will go with a second being a girl 😂

I was 39 weeks and 5 days, but I was induced due to elevated blood pressure. I think she would have been late if it hadn't been for the induction.

38+5 natural labour started with dilation to 2 1/2 cm and contractions but then completely randomly stopped so had emergency c section as waters had gone already x

Avatar

I had my baby on her due date,I did have a sweep which was unsuccessful I was then induced had one pessary and she arrived 🩷

Mine was 37+6 but he was big and needed to go in for a c section as they were worried about him getting stuck

My first baby was a boy who came naturally at 39+2 and my second was a girl who came naturally at 39+6 x

Avatar

42 weeks + 1 day! Went into labour on my own but took induction meds to speed up the process because I wasn’t dilating fast enough for how low he already was

Avatar

I had our first at 40+1 so one day late, but i was in labour over the weekend before hand they just didn’t bother checking me over and sent me home telling me I wasn’t having contractions when I was in on his due date with pains but it was mostly back pain with him. Midwife came out the day after his due date (day I gave birth) to attempt a sweep and I was already 7cm lol

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?
