what week did you give birth?

[LilyValley]

39+5 when I went into labour naturally, 39+6 when I gave birth.

I was 11 days late. So I delivered in my 42nd week.

I didn't think about preemie babies, ladies. My apologies.

Thank you to everyone who is answering though. You guys are being very helpful!

I tried to change the poll and I can't figure out how. I really am sorry to the preemie babies, girls! I feel kinda bad.. but thank you for still answering!

I think I was 41+5 tbh (with my 2nd) and very glad I waited.

Gave birth at 41 weeks exactly. Went into a slow labor at 40+5, self-induced more progressive contractions under the care of a midwife with black and blue cohosh at 40+6, she was born 14 hours later

My water broke on 40+2 and she arrived in the early hours of 40+3

42+1 via induction but there's no option for that...

 

[Leids]

41 weeks exactly. Went into labor naturally the night before, but was given pitocin to speed things along (was actually scheduled to be induced the day I gave birth).

41+6, due to be induced the next day. It was horrible being so overdue but I wouldn't have had an induction earlier, desperate to go naturally, and he did me proud, but held on till the last moment lol!

 

[TryinFor1]

I really don't particularly want an induction either. My mil had a stillbirth and my doctor said he doesn't see the point in me going far past my due date given the anxiety I have had over stillbirth.

My family is CONVINCED I will go early. hope they are right, but I doubt it. lol. I think I will be induced.

But it seems the majority go between 39-41 weeks so that is pretty reassuring that hopefully he will come just in time!

 

[Indi84]

I'm sure he will
Overdue is scary, not going to lie I just wanted him out by then, but is very rare to be offered induction here before 42.
Good luck, you'll have your baby soon!

There isn't an option for me. I gave birth at 36+1 first baby. No complications or risk factors. I thought I would go over as I was 3 days over and my husband was 3 weeks over!
I was caught off guard and a little unprepared but i still got my home water birth. best wishes to you!
