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

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.

I had my DS at 34wks, one day before I was to offiaclly start Mat leave. My DS decided to try and make an early entrance at 32wks. I was getting very uncomfortable contractions every 2 hrs for 12 hrs before I went to get checked out. They stopped the contractions with medication, but my Cv continued to ripen and DS head cound be felt on VE. Waters broke 10 days later, DS was induced 4 days later. I was happy to be induced, but I was not showing signs of infection so could have held him in for longer if I had wanted.

I agree with Alioops though about your DH getting emergency leave if you go into labour early. Just make sure you can either contact him or know who to call if he is uncontactable.
