Due Dates.....how Close to Delivery Were Your Due Dates?
Posted: 08-08-05 14:27pm

Hey this is my first pregnancy....I'm 1 week shy of 4 months but I was wondering when you had your baby was it close to yur due date? Preferably with your first baby did you have you baby before or after your due date? And how far before or after? Hope you girls don't mind my asking....I was just curious!

Thanks.

God, so you went over on all 3 of your children, and they were long labours.

At our antenatal classes, we were told on average for first time labour is 6- 8 hours in ireland. I hope its this or shorter, definitelt not 36 hours.

I think most of the times now, they really push to try and deliver in 12 hours I think.

Good luck and no I was not the norm!!!

Yeah back then 2 weeks past was normal be4 they would do anything. And like my last son, they induced at 2 weeks, dint work so they tried again in 2 more weeks. Yes that is past the drs dates. I even thought I might have been farther along than even the drs thought. But I guess not. Maybe they just needed to be a little more cooked.

I miscarried 6 times, they come out early--so the ones that made it just wanted to stay in!! Lol

they are the greatest kids ever--love me totally as I do them. Not perfect just wonderful, loving caring individuals

thanks

My daughter was induced from the beginning--1 week late. She went almost 40 hours with epidural and ended up emergency c/setion in the end. Baby crashed and dr came in and held the baby up in the birth canal while they stopped her labor, and prep her for surgery. The baby heratbeat fell off the bottom of chart, while daughters uterine contractions went off the charts upwards. I was freakin--i said did what I think just happen, happen they said yes. I said wheres my scrubs--im going in???

I was due july 23rd and delivered july 20th. I was induced though because of my high blood pressure. My labor and delivery went very well. I was only in active labor for 5 and a half hours and pushed for only 15 minutes before he was born!! Good luck to all who are preggy!!! You'll all do fine!!
