How many came early with your 1st?

I had a feeling that I would give birth early, but only by a day or so. Amy ended up deciding that she wanted to be here almost a month early. In a way it's great that you have that extra time to meet and be with your bub but it is very stressful too, as there are a number of things that can go wrong when your bub is prem. I know everyone says that you usually go over with your first but it's not true for everyone....and in the end your bub will arrive when it wants to. It was a total shock to me for Amy to come that early but she's happy and healthy....a little behind the other bubs with milestones (which is to be expected) but other than that all perfect. Good luck and I hope everything goes wonderfully for you.

I had a feeling I was going to come early with my first because my belly was very hard and bubs didn't move as much etc but ended up going 3 days over...I think it was wishful thinking for me. This time I think I will go on time or a few days over so maybe I'll go early this time haha

I didn't really think about it with DS, but he was born exactly a week early.

This time I have a feeling I'll go early, fingers crossed I do, cause my OB won't let me go over.
