Clicky Poll: When did you deliver?

Hi Ladies - I'm lurking from November 2012 BMB.  It seems like everyone has an opinion about when the first baby is born in comparison to their EDD.  Some say "you're always late".  So I thought I'd conduct my own research!

I know my baby will come when he's ready, I'm just curious.  TIA :-)

When did you deliver your first baby?

  • Before 37 weeks (12.7%)
  • 37-38 weeks (12%)
  • 38-39 weeks (11.3%)
  • 39-40 weeks (18.1%)
  • 40 weeks (EDD) (11.1%)
  • 40-41 weeks (16.7%)
  • 41-42 weeks (10.4%)
  • More than 42 weeks (1.3%)
  • I can't imagine a SS, but here you go! (6.4%)
  • Total Votes: 840

I never went into labor. My baby was breech, I had a failed ECV, so they just went ahead and did the c/s

We were charting with the Creighton method. Estimated Time of Arrival (based on estimated time of conception/ovulation) was Sept. 9th, and DS arrived Sept. 9th. :) This was our first baby, too (I know folks like to say the first one is always late...)

15 days early.

Drives me NUTS when people say to FTMs 'You'll probably go late' or 'Labor for a FTM is usually 12hrs+'

For my first little one, my due date was moved up 3 different times by a total of 2 and 1/2 weeks, and i still delivered 2 weeks before the earliest due date. All natural, water broke and within a half hour he was here. Hoping this one comes early too, just not to early that we have to worry about how healthy he will be.

she decided to come 3 days after her due date. it was actually perfect timing because my mother in law was hoping she would wait to be born until she was back from being out of the country. she was able to make it from the airport to the delivery room no more than 10 minutes after our baby arrived!

41w4d... Scheduled to be induced that morning (8am), but went into labour on my own at 3am.

If it helps, my midwives said that 80% of women who get an induction date, go into labour on their own that day.

This is what happened to me! DS1 was born at 40w6d, it was a Thursday, we had scheduled an induction for the following Monday, and I went into labor that night.
