6 days late, easy labour but 3rd degree tear
First was born the day before and second was born 4 days before both were fast labors
First was born 40+3 and was spontaneous labor but meconium ,back to back and no progression passed 6cm. Epidural, gas air, even gave me the IV to try and get contractions bigger and faster but didn't work. Then emergency section after 18 hours on the delivery suite at active labor
Did you know that it is normal when planning to go into natural labor to carry for around 41 weeks? I was almost at 42 weeks before my daughter came out on her own. The last week before our midwife said she would need to send us to the hospital for birthing. :) The “due date” isn’t really a DUE date. It’s just the date until most babies are considered fully developed where if they are born, they should be fine developmentally. :)
I went into labour on my due date but she came early hours of the next day! X
Both my babies were early. First baby was spontaneous labor at 38+5, unmedicated vaginal birth, about 19 hours total with a second degree tear. My second was induced at 39+2, also an unmedicated vaginal birth, only 2 and a half hours with no tearing or stitches. Super happy with how both went.
I was induced on my due date? Second was born at 38+6
@Heather 🌻 I guess it’s like comparing use by & best before dates 😂
6 days late
My daughter arrived at 39+6 x
It's always roughly 50:50 before and after. Your due date is just the middle point of your approximately 4 week due window. Don't worry about it!
My first was born at 40+4 and my second at 41+2. Both spontaneous, quick labours with just gas and air x
Both my girls were born at 39 weeks exactly. First was induction second was naturally occurring
No induction, had him at home at 42+2

28+2 for my first and 37+3 for my second
First was born at 39 weeks , I was induced due to prom Second was 39+1 also induced for medical reasons .
Daughter was born 41+5 and son was 39+3 but he was an elective c section
My daughter was born at 37+2. I was induced because of preeclampsia and had a vaginal birth. We were actually getting ready for a C-section, but as soon as the doctor left to assemble the surgical crew, she started crowning. 😅
Both kids were born 39+2
