1st baby early or late?

Hi I normally am in the preggers forum but just would like to ask you lovely ladies a question.

Was your first baby early or late?

Also did your labour start naturally or assisted?

Thanks

  • Hi and congratulations!
    Our first arrived 1 day early (on the day I worked out not the hospital!) and waters etc all popped naturally. Good luck Bekkie x
  • My son arrived either 8 days late by the date on dating scan, or bang on time by last period date! Had a sweep to start things off, though the mw didn't think it would do anything as my cervix was quite high still but my hind waters went 8 hours later and he was born 10 1/2 hours after that, so something obviously went right!

    When are you due?
  • My little girl was 7 weeks early, unassisted she was just in a hurry!
  • My little boy was 12 days early, waters broke few hours after ten pin bowling...happened to a friend of mine too so top tip if you want labour to start! Baby born 9 hours later.
  • Charlotte was 12 days early (born on a Sunday).
    On the previous Thursday I was leaking what I thought was wee as only very slight trickle. Friday night had a show. Rang mw on Sat morning. She said to wait as labour might not start immediately. 3am Sunday morning went into labour. Went into maternity suite, mw checked me was 1cm dilated and had to be put on anti-biotic drip as my leakage was hind waters not wee!
    Born naturally, had pethidine as pain relief in labour for 19 hours, with 2nd degree tear.
    All worth it in the end!
    Good luck xx

  • I calculated my due date as the 3rd but midwife said 5th - she came on the 4th so I think we can call that on time image My waters broke and she arrived 13 hours later.
  • Mine was natural, waters went first and he was born at exactly 37 weeks, so no time to panic about labour etc!
