    DD was born at 37wks (2hr labour). I am hoping if I have another one it takes a bit longer!! I finished work christmas eve and she arrived 2wks later.

    Good luck and enjoy your quiet time before bubs arrives.

    I think the average first pregnancy lasts around 41 weeks. But that is an average and obviously it means that there are lots of babies delivered before or after this date.
    DD was born at 39 weeks 3 days. Labour started at 4am (really gently) and Maya was born at 4:45pm that same day.
    If you can afford to at all, I would try and stop working at 36 weeks. The last weeks can get very uncomfortable and prolonged sitting or standing (if that is part of your job description) is not good.
    Best of luck!
