How far along were you when your baby was born?

Question

im 35 weeks with my first, but i have a feeling i will have her early. how far along were you? did you have a feeling you were going to be early or late? not like labor signs, just a feeling? thanks

Answer 1

I was told I'd have my 1st baby early and she was 2 weeks late. I had all of the signs from 37 weeks and on and I really felt like she would be early, but she stuck around until 42 weeks.

I felt like my 2nd would never come, I had no signs at all, I didn't feel like she was on the way, I thought she'd be late for sure and she came at 38 weeks with no notice or warning signs at all.

Answer 2

I knew I was going to be early. I ended up being 8 days early.  

Answer 3

I had a big feeling with both of mine, but they came pretty much when their scans said they would. I think it is just one of those things, We secretly want them with us now, So we can hold onto them forever :) Even if you had your baby now, you and baby would be fine. You only have 5weeks to go. Congrats and good luck

Answer 4

I had my baby when he was 39 wks, 3 days. He was breech, so they were trying to turn him externally (most painful thing I've ever experienced in my life, fyi, just opt for a c-section if you find yourself in this situation!) and ended up having to give me a c-section (which we had figured would happen anyways) because he wouldn't turn and his heart rate dropped down to just below 100, so they wanted to get him out. I feel like I wouldn't have been on time though. I didn't feel at all like I was going to go into labor or anything, so I had figured I'd be late. I had him 4 days early though.., but I cheated.

Answer 5

I felt like I was going to have both of my boys early.  My oldest son was born at 36 weeks 6 days and my second was 35 weeks 6 days.

Answer 6

my son came at 37 wks 6 days (8lbs 3oz... 21in) and with my daughter i was induced...she arrived at 38 weeks 5 days ( 7lbs 14oz... 19.5in)

Answer 7

I had a feeling I was going to go late. Imagine my surprise when my water broke at 37w 4d and I had the easiest labor I could have ever imagined minus the 2 hours of back labor.

Answer 8

I was induced for both my children. First was 42 weeks, second was at 40 weeks. He refused to do it any earlier.

Answer 9

i had my little girl at 38 weeks, i was induced tho due to high blood pressure.

good luck and congratz on your little one

Answer 10

I didn't have any feelings, in fact I did not even have my hospital bag packed. My daughter decided to arrive at 37 weeks 6 days. Just the day before I went into labour I thought I had overdone it and my tummy felt a bit tense. I preferred to think I was going to be overdue so I would not be stressing out. My sister in law thought she was going to have the baby early and he was 2 weeks overdue, a whole month extra from the time she thought she would give birth.

Answer 11

I pretty much figured I'd be late with mine.  I had him at 41 weeks and 1 day.

Answer 12

I was 38 weeks 1 day even though I was convinced I was going to be late since he was my first baby.  I was supposed to work up until 1 week before my due date but on a last-minute whim decided to finish work 2 weeks early instead figuring I'd probably have 3 weeks of tying up loose ends.  Ya, right.  I ended up having my son by 6pm the next night.  Thank goodness we pretty much had everything in order, even if there was a small disaster area from all the junk I had brought home from work!

Answer 13

Baby #1 was 9 days early. baby #2 was a scheduled section and was 12 days early!

Congrats and best wishes!  

Answer 14

I had Em at 38 weeks 4 days, which was probably a good thing because she ended up being almost 9 pounds anyway! I knew she was going to come early but only because I was 5 cm dilated at 38 weeks :)

Answer 15

i had my daughter on my due date. i knew that she would be late, i had a couple baxton hicks contractions, and i was 1 cm, for 5 weeks, so my doctor induced me, they don't like your cervix open for that long and no baby.  

Answer 16

1 Due date

2 11 days over due

3 Day before due date

4 Day before due date

I had a feeling they were coming a day or two before I went into labor

Answer 17

I was 38w6d with a scheduled induction. However, when I went into the hospital that morning, I was already having contractions.
