Poll: How many weeks were you when you went into labour?

[CordeliaJ]

Curious about when everyone went into labour - if you've had more than one birth, maybe just answer with what happened the first time. If you'd rather not, there is a multiple choice option to give more than one answer.

I didn't actually go into labour but had an EMCS at 27 weeks x

 

[xsadiex]

I went into labour at 40 weeks and 6 days and had him at 41 weeks and 1 day.
Hoping this one comes a little earlier.

 

[Sommerfugl]

With my first I went into labour naturally at 40 weeks exactly.
With my second I declined induction and went into labour naturally at 42 + 3.

 

[xxEMZxx]

Both were born at exactly 39 weeks xx

Went into labour at 40+6 with DS1 and had him via EMCS at 40+9. Went into labour at 40+4 with DS2 and had him via EMCS 40+5.

I went 36 weeks exactly, i was due to be induced at 37 weeks so someone was keen

 

[Dragonfly]

Nearly 42 with both mine. I doubt I will get a baby before dd this time either.

My daughter arrived naturally at 37 + 5. I always felt she'd come early but didn't realize it would be that early. I had her at home and had only managed to go out and buy all the supplies for her birth 2 days before. I only got one proper day off on maternity leave. I could have happily enjoyed a few more weeks of pregnancy first!

38 weeks with my first. 39 weeks with my second. I was still working with my first. Left work halfway through the day to have my baby that afternoon.
We had nothing ready, so had to buy a bunch of stuff as soon as we took him home from the hospital.

1st: Went into labor at 29 weeks (part of my water broke), hospital stopped it and I had to get injections and take these pills to stop contraction every hour- got to leave the hospital after a few weeks and ended up having to be induced at almost 42 weeks!

2nd: Had my son at 35 weeks 5 days after a bad pregnancy with placenta abruption (starting at 10 weeks), dilation and much more very early on. It was amazing that I even made it to that!

I officially went into labour at 40+5, but I had been in slow early labour from my due date.

41+4 with my first

39 weeks with my 2nd x

 

[Toms Mummy]

My 1st was born at 36 weeks naturally. I'm hoping the next one hangs in a bit longer
