Did your first bubs arrive on EDD?

[JellyBean01]

Hi,

For all those that are mothers already, i just wanted to know when your first baby arrived? Did it come early or late.

I've been given the impression most first baby's come later than 40weeks. Is this true?

I'm expecting my first but started thinking, maybe he'll come early!? I had planned to stop work at 36 weeks but the boss thinks i'm staying on until 38 weeks. I would like to have some time to myself before the little one arrives. Plus, i have so much to do around the house before then and need to earn a bit more money before i finish up to be able to get things done.

Let me know how many weeks your first baby was when you gave birth

#1 was born 37w6d - I finished up work at 37w so I had a full 6 days to myself before she arrived!

With my first, I went into labour on his due date, and he arrived the next day....

He is the only one to even come close to his EDD though!!! All the others have been 40 + er's....

With my dd I was 40 w 2 days when my water broke, wasn't until the day after that, that I gave birth

[SugarDust]

DS1 was on his due date
DS2 was 2 weeks over

and

This one is due in feb!

DD1 arrived 39w4d
DD2 arrived 40w5d

This little BumbleBee better not be late!!!!

I had DS1 at 39wks exactly and I had DS2 at 39wk2d.
I really had high hopes that DS2 would wait just cause I wanted him to but nope. Lol. He was in a major hurry.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your pg.

Ds was born at 39 wk3d according to the doctors, but according to my calculations it was 40wk5d. But either way, not on the EDD.

with my DS my waters broke on the day i was due (i had a high break) and i leaked the whole of the next day then finally went into labour the day after so 2 days. and my DD was 6 days overdue

Had my first DS at 39 weeks and I was convinced I was going over and had no signsof dropping etc....I was lucky to make it to the hospital in time as I didn't think I was in labour!!!! LOL!!!
Take off as much time as you can cos you will need time to yourself even if it is only 1 week!!!!!
