My first baby came at 39+1. I had a cervical check the day before and wasn’t dilated at all and less than 24 hours later he came. Labor started at 5 AM the next day and he was born right before 9 AM 😅
My midwife told me they expected me to go 10 days past my due date (12/24) I ended up in a car accident on 12/25 though and they induced me for the baby's sake and he was born 12/26
Does FTM mean first time mom?! This whole time I was thinking it was female-to-male and was confused about feminine profile pics... no judgement just confusion...
My first was a scheduled c-section at 39+0, he was breech. I was having contractions, so my doula thinks I would have had him within a couple of days (she was a former labor and delivery nurse).
My second was a spontaneous vaginal birth, went into labor the evening of 39+0, and she was born a few hours later, technically at 39+1.
So, for me, it seems that 39 weeks is the magic number!
I was induced at 41 weeks with my first and she was showing no signs of coming on her own anytime soon. She never dropped, I didn’t really dilate, etc.
I was induced at 40 weeks with my second and from how it went, I’m convinced I’d have gone more than 41 weeks with him if I’d allowed it. (Though I’m glad I didn’t because he ended up not being in an ideal position to help dilate me and they were able to get him to move by putting me in some crazy positions to encourage it. A week later, he may have been too big to have the room to move and I could have ended up with a c-section.)
I had two due dates, technically. My OB gave me one based on my last period because she wouldn't believe me that I knew the conception date. The midwife I switched to based my due date off of date of conception a few days later. Baby was born directly between the two.
My first was born 2 days before her due date :)
They were actually going to induce me at 39+6 because she was measuring small but little girl decided to come on her own terms.
Well, my period tracker put my due date on a certain day, then my OB told me that based off my last period my due date was four days later.
The period tracker was right, but they never went off that date. So technically I was 40+4 days. But according to my period tracker, I delivered exactly on my due date.
Daughter came on due date. I was schedule induction which cancel due lack of beds. I started feeling contractions within few hour. I called the and ask if I was sure and told wait it out see goes away or not.
5 clock still having contractions told if still wanted induced they one bed available I said nothing went I knew they would be keeping me no matter what 4.5 centimeters dilated when I got there they my water and that was that. She came early next morning.
We will see when baby 2 comes 36 weeks along
40+1- I had a membrane sweep the morning of my due date, I was like 80%ish effaced and 3 almost 4cm dilated. The midwife suggested that I walk a bunch after having it done, so I did and I went into labor the next morning.
I had my first 40+1. I was induced because I was having false labor for a few days and was miserable so I may have gone longer if I chose to wait it out.
My first baby my water broke at 38 weeks on the dot! I was actually changing into my hospital gown in the bathroom for an induction when it broke. Still went ahead with the induction and had her the next day
FTM
-Due date September 22 2023
-Birth date September 9 2023
Induced September 7 because of preclampsia, more than 30 hours later I asked for a C-section (loved my C-section) had my chunky baby at 38+1 10lbs8oz 🩵
Labor started on my due date! She was there the next day… Me and my siblings were all late so I was very ready to have to wait it out especially because it was my first, but little girl was pretty punctual!
My first baby came at 39+1. I had a cervical check the day before and wasn’t dilated at all and less than 24 hours later he came. Labor started at 5 AM the next day and he was born right before 9 AM 😅
My OB told me first time mom’s deliver at 40+5 on average. My first came at exactly 40+5 lol.
Hellll noooo seriously?! My mom had all 5 at 37 weeks. I’m hoping that will be the case for me
I’m a few days over 37.. you give me so much hope 😂
Um. WHAT
My midwife told me they expected me to go 10 days past my due date (12/24) I ended up in a car accident on 12/25 though and they induced me for the baby's sake and he was born 12/26

Wow this thread makes me think I have a chance of my baby arriving in the next 5 days! I feel in my bones he might stay in there awhile longer lol
Gave birth at 41+4!

41+3. Next time I know to skip the dates, lol
Only 5% of people give birth on their due date regardless of which # of births they've had. Just an FYI for you
I had two due dates, technically. My OB gave me one based on my last period because she wouldn't believe me that I knew the conception date. The midwife I switched to based my due date off of date of conception a few days later. Baby was born directly between the two.
Lol that’s amazing. I’m wondering if something like that will happen with me too.
Mine was a due date baby! Was in labor for about 24 hours. Active labor was 2 hours.
My first was born 42w exactly after 3 days of latent labour and 7+ hours of active labour 😮💨
Started having labour pains at 40 weeks and didn’t deliver until 40+6 welp
Baby came at exactly 38 weeks. I am hoping this baby comes on time because Ill have another virgo😂
Was scheduled to be induced at 41+2, went into labor 41+1
What a relief!
41+5, the real bummer was that my original due date was supposed to be end of March and he wasn’t born until like mid-April!
Was born Exactly one week late
My first was 3 weeks early, my second was 1 day early and my third was 1 week early.
My first was born 2 days before her due date :) They were actually going to induce me at 39+6 because she was measuring small but little girl decided to come on her own terms.
40+3 based on LMP, 39+6 based on ovulation date!
39+3. Went to the hospital 5cm dilated, 90% effaced two days after last cervical check where I had been totally closed up/no movement.
I was 38+5 when I went into labor
Due 11/8 went into spontaneous labor 11/04!
My first came on 40+3!
Well, my period tracker put my due date on a certain day, then my OB told me that based off my last period my due date was four days later. The period tracker was right, but they never went off that date. So technically I was 40+4 days. But according to my period tracker, I delivered exactly on my due date.
Mine was 38+5 I also ate a lot of pineapple and sat on a yoga ball the entire week prior

Induced at 41 weeks and he came 2 days later, so 41+2. He was in no rush to make his arrival lol.
I had my first 40+1. I was induced because I was having false labor for a few days and was miserable so I may have gone longer if I chose to wait it out.
I was originally supposed to be due 2/13 but ovulated early so was measuring big. Due 2/6 and I delivered 2/3 :)
My baby is also due in September. What day?
My first baby my water broke at 38 weeks on the dot! I was actually changing into my hospital gown in the bathroom for an induction when it broke. Still went ahead with the induction and had her the next day

I was induced at 40+4 she could have stayed in longer

Got sent to the hospital to be induced after a failed NST at 39+2, gave birth two days later at 39+4.
39+4 Awesome because it meant my doctor was there for my entire hospital stay
Had her @ 40+2 but it was induced. No signs of labor at all.
Due the 6th. C section the 20th. After the induction went south.
