How many weeks were you went into labour?

**Dollyroux** · September 22nd, 2009, 07:20 PM

I was convinced I was going to be at least a week late - but nope, she came about 3 days early!

. I think you're better to take more time off then too little, if that helps any!

38/3 I went into labour.
38/4 he was born.
I only got 7 days off work.

DS was 40 weeks 6 days
DD was 41 weeks 3 days

It's not necessarily the case of going earlier each time, a friend had her DS at 32 weeks 3 days & her daughter at 38 weeks 3 days....

DD1 - 41+1
DD2 - 41
DS - 39+5

Its all pretty ramdom actually. All my labours did start on a Saturday though

DD2 was born Sunday morning.
Oh, & all their birth dates are the same backwards as they are forwards! 20.4.02, 5.6.05, 8.3.08 (kinda, lol)

38 weeks exactly.

#1 was at 39 weeks
#2 was at 37 weeks
They 'say' second bub can come earlier than first but it's just so individual.

**Fuzzywuzzy** · September 22nd, 2009, 09:33 PM

41 weeks exactly

**LimeSlice** · September 23rd, 2009, 03:47 PM

I was 41+1 with Charlotte

I think Trill is spot on though - you will be glad of the rest and relaxation whenever bubs does come

**Kailani** · September 23rd, 2009, 04:56 PM

38 weeks exactly with DS.

I got a a 10 day break as i finished up around 36 weeks. I agree it's better to take a little more time off just in case bubs comes early
