How many wks were you when you had first baby?

[Megsy]

He's away for 3 weeks overseas and he'll be back only 4 1/2 weeks before my EDD! (35 wks + 5 days)

Does anyone have any tips on how to keep my little bubs inside me for as long as possible? I've heard that being totally relaxed helps - anything else? I'll accept any advice - witchcraft, hocus pocus, grandma's secrets to a long pregnancy etc. I know most people are ok with bubs coming a bit early but not when their hubby is out of the country!

Alioops - a 3 month training course... wow. Is he back for a weekend or 2 during that time?

If bubs comes more than 3 weeks before your EDD it will be officially classed ad Premature. If bubs is premature that is a medical emergency and if DH is away as defence (I think you once said he was) then they should send him home ASAP. Meanwhile it is worth setting up a support network incase bubs does want daddy home before he is supposed to be, but I honestly think that he will be home in plently of time.

My first arrived at 41+1 weeks which is actually the average time that first babies are born!

Apparently, I was 39+4 ( i had several due dates and thought I was 41+3, but he was def not over done)

Claire was born at 38 weeks and 2 days. Lots of people said she'd be late and they were suprised when she came before 40 weeks.
