I was just thinking about the odds of first babies coming early or late!! Most people are saying they come late, and honestly its driving me nuts hearing about it, but I do know some come early... So if any of you who have had your first bubs how early or late were you??
Im due the 19th Aug but had a dream and he was born Aug 3rd and it was a very clear dream, I kept going on and on about his date of birth, prior to that dream I predicted he would be born the 26th of Aug at a week late... only time will tell!  ------------- httpw.snu://wwgglepie.com">

i have been induced both times so wouldnt really know! first at 39 weeks and second 10 days overdue, so im guessing that this time i will be overdue again? hopefully i'll get the chance to go natural this time, would love to not be "the iron womb"!!!
but my sister had both her 2 kids at 39 weeks. |

This is really frustrating, I typed as quick a reply as possible and I keep being logged out ! This is way worse than before *sigh*
So what I said was, that I was five days overdue - my EDD was July 8th, Erin was born on July 13th, and luckily I went into labour naturally. ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

I soooo know what you mean about being logged out!! Happens to me alot!! Its so frustrating, and sometimes its only a few minutes!!
So I see there is a possible hope of me being early then.. Rachel - how come they induced a week early? My midwife said to me, shes keen on giving things heaps of time! That made me feel great and wondered if i did go over how long would she leave me!! why cant they get them out earlier!! haha ------------- httpw.snu://wwgglepie.com">

Well, due dates are supposed to be the average, and that would suggest that half of pregnancies deliver before the due date and half after. My first was born 3 days before his due date and second, 3 days after. Goodness knows when number 3 will turn up. ------------- |

it can be 2 weeks either way all depends on babys size, genetics, how you carry all heaps of other stuff. Everyone of me and my sister's has had our babies at about 38/39 weeks - the only one to have had induction was my little sis - who coincidently also has been the only one requiring c-sections, both times - but that was for medical problems and the 1st induction was for pre-eclampsia, the second time she went into labour naturally but went ahead with the scheduled c-section). There are two of us (me and my sister 7 yrs older than me) who have them fast, longest labours 5 hrs, my sister's shortest was 2.5hrs with her 5th kid. the other two older sisters have longggggg labours.
hhhm so i guess it could be family and genetics.. otherwise we are just very coincidentally weird. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

To my LMP with Andrwe I was 1 day over, but to the scans I had Andrew was a week early. I was enduced with Andrew as I had pre eclampsia. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Maya was 10 days early, but I think that's only coz she was posterior and started to turn which started the contractions. I was Mum's first and I was 1 day early. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Jacob, my first, was "technically" 5 days early, but I *knew* he would arrive on the 5th. I had 2 dates on my scans, the first, at 10 weeks pg was for June 10, and I remember telling everyone I had a feeling baby would be born before then. My second date was at 18 week scan for the 5th of June. I always went with that date, I just *knew*. On the 3rd of June, due to high blood pressure and swelling, i was booked in to be induced on the 8th of june, but what do you know? Baby arrived on the 5th, just like I said all along.

Paige was just under 2 weeks early....The midwife says this little man could well be early as well...HOWEVER because this is a different Dad it can change a lot of things!
I would give anythig to have him at 38 weeks. -------------

| They often ask how your sisters and mother went with pregnancy but I dont think your hubby being prem would make a differnce. Its all about you and how your body handles pregnancy and also like if you did something to bring on labour or had an infection etc. |

Damn those scans. Well we'll stick with the ticker  or you can have another 'Happy 2nd Trimester' in 2 days??? Unfortunately this celebration doesn't come with presents.
