How early or late did you have your baby, in relation to your due date?

Question

I am 34 weeks and getting anxious for the big day. Just wondering how many actually have their baby on or even near their due date. (My first was almost 3 weeks early)

Answer 1

My sister delivered ON her due date. Naturally. I've never had a kid, or been pregnant... but they say that your first child is usually late. Apparently that wasn't the case with you. No telling really but good luck! Boy or Girl? Name?

Answer 2

Only about 5% of mums have their babies on their due dates. The average first time white mum can expect to go about 10 days over due. For other races, average gestation can be shorter or longer.

First baby I was induced at term +10 days, baby finally showed at term +14.

Second baby was 3 weeks late and born naturally.

Answer 3

My due date was January 1st and my child was born on the 16th. The due date is always just a guess but every second after the doctor said delivery should happen felt like a month. LOL

Answer 4

My first was 2 weeks late and my 2nd was 5 weeks early

Answer 5

My first was born on his due date. The other four were all late by at least 4 days.

Answer 6

my son was 36 weeks my daughter 37 weeks. If you tend to go over then your other pregnancies may o over to. If you tend o go early then good chance the next one will be early. You should aim for getting past 37 weeks because 36 is still called pre term and the baby could have issues with the lungs.

Answer 7

My daughter was born almost 5 weeks early but my best friend didnt have her son untill 2 weeks after her due date.. also I was in labor for 36 hours and she was only in labor for 6 hours

Answer 8

My first and second child were a month early. My third child was almost 3 months early. He weighed 1 lb. 11.5 oz. He was in the hospital for 2 mos 5 days. I got to bring him home when he weighed a little less than four pounds. He is my little miracle. He is in first grade now, a little hyper but loves to read and write, play soccer, paint and fight with his brothers.

Answer 9

My 1st son was born two weeks early, he was born with a "wet lung". He weighed 7 lbs. 5 1/2 oz. My 2nd son was born 3 weeks early and weighed 8 lbs. 14 oz. THANK GOD HE WAS EARLY!! My 3rd son was born a month early and had lots of respiratory complications. He had to be transferred from our small town local hospital to a children's hospital in the adjacent larger city...He was treated for Pneumonia and TTN. He weighed 7 lbs. 7oz. If you saw him today you'd never know he was a preemie...

Answer 10

My first was 11 days late, 2nd was due July 7, induced FINALLY on July 31, 3rd was 7 days early.
