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 😂

37 +6 for my baby. I was early

I had my first at 37 weeks.
No issues, smooth pregnancy and birth

I was 39 weeks when I gave birth

41+2 for my first

I was 40+2 for mine but i think the sweep i had done on ny due date did it

40+5🩷

41+4 with two sweeps, I gave birth the night after they scheduled an induction, she just didn’t want to come out!

Had my first at 41+2, she was comfortable in there 😂

I had my baby at 38+3 but had an induction

I had my first a day after my due date went into labor on my due date had him at 4:25 am that night

37wks but thats bc there was no growth and no gaining weight

41+4 for me 😊

40 weeks 4 days xx

37+6 he was born 20th December and clearly wanted to be here in time for Santa 😂

Both of mine were 39+2. My first, I had a sweep and baby was born next morning.

I was early at 37+3 :) x

36 weeks healthy and smooth

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

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 🩷

40 + 4 with my eldest

I was almost 42 weeks with my first and had to be induced.

I had mine at 36+4. Completely spontaneous labour😅

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 came at 24 weeks and 5 days and second came at 39 weeks and 2 days I think

39+1 and was induced which was started at 38+6 x

I had my little girl at 39+5. She was due March 2nd and I got induced overnight on Feb 28th. Had her at 12:10p on Feb 29th

40+2 natural labour

37 weeks spontaneous labor

39+4, so 3 days before my edd with my girl, was due to be induced at 39+5, but had a sweep at 39+4 as i was 2cm with light contractions that i thought were braxton hicks as i hadn’t had any my whole pregnancy x

40+5

Mine was 39+4 even though my whole pregnancy I thought she’d come early lol

I was due March 16 but I had my baby Feb 26, I was 38 weeks and 2 days when I had her.

First baby was 2 weeks late, I had to be induced, have my waters broken, several sweeps etc. Second baby I'm 37 weeks and he's showing signs he might be here soon

First pregnancy I was 15 days late!! Killed me! 30 weeks on my second pregnancy and preying it comes a little earlier lol x

37+4

38+3 first
37+2 second
Both induced as they were small for their gestation

40+5 C-section

40 weeks + 2 days! 🤰

I was 40+2 weeks so only 2 days late

37+4

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

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

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

39 weeks and 1 day.

Went into labour naturally (waters broke) at 40 weeks +6 days in the morning and delivered the next evening so technically 41 weeks

41+1!

41+4 days induced birth xx
