How long were you actually pregnant?

[carly_mummy2b]

I was pregnant for 41 weeks and 2 days x

 

[lhancock90]

38 weeks and 4 days for my first

 

[Hannah's Mom]

I was 41 weeks with Hannah and 40+5 with Lily xxx

 

[Tegans Mama]

Exactly 40 weeks

 

[xxEMZxx]

Both exactly 39 weeks x

 

[mumandco]

My first was 42+1
Second was 39+6

 

[Mrs Doddy]

36+5

 

[Pink1981]

39+5
38+5

I think!

 

[veganmama]

39 weeks xD

 

[sabby52]

39+4 for my first
39+4 for my second (the day before his planned c-section)

 

[Eleanor ace]

42 weeks.

 

[babyerin]

39+4 induction

 

[vhal_x]

40+5 xx

 

[dani_tinks]

42 weeks

 

[Mrs_X]

37 weeks 0 days, induction due to PPROM lol

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

39+5 with DS and 39+6 with DD

 

[tallybee]

DS was 4 days 'early', DD was 5 days 'early'

It's all guesswork (well, educated guesswork ) anyway. Not many women have 'textbook' cycles, and unless you're tracking, it's not easy to pinpoint conception exactly

 

[NDH]

DD was born at 41+3

It may already have been mentioned as I haven't read the thread, but just pointing out that 40 weeks isn't 10 months as many people think as a month is 4.3 weeks not 4 weeks (I have a friend who thinks her daughter is 6 months old cause she's 24 weeks old when she's not actually 6 months for another 3 weeks).

 

[midori1999]

40 exactly

38 exactly (and 10lbs!)

37 + 3

23 + 5 (twin girls after my waters broke at 14 + 5)

37 + 6.

All natural labours.

I was pregnant 39+2 with my first and 40+5 with my second. Remember though that while the average pregnancy lasts 40 weeks, you're only actually pregnant for 38 of those because the first 2 weeks are counted from the first day of your last period, until the day of ovulation; before the egg has even fertilised.

Also remember that 4 weeks doesn't amount to one month; the average month is 4w+3d
