My son was nice and cosy and in no hurry to get out, I guess! I was 6 days overdue when I finally had him, the day before they were going to induce me. Labour from start to finish was around 6 hours - but I went back to sleep for 2 hours of those!

My son was born 4 days after second estimated due date.  My first u/s at 11 weeks said i was due may 11th, then my second one at 20 weeks said i was due may 7th. well i ended up having my son at 2:27 am on the 11th. they say i went 4 days over due, but i think the 11th was always my due date.

My son was born 2 days before his due date, but they had given me several different due dates. When they did his paperwork after he arrived, his gestational age was 41 weeks. So, I voted 40 weeks.

I was induced at 41 weeks.  My cervix was completely unfavourable (no dilation, no effacement).  Incidentally, this also happened to me the second time - even though my OB said that would be "highly unlikely" seeing as it wasn't my first baby.

I put 40 weeks but there may discrepancy there.  I didn't start seeing a doc til I was 5 months and my dates were questionable, they even changed my due date by a whole month.  So by my last due date she was 40 wks 3 days and I had an emergency c-section (no fluid, breech and Intrauterine growth restriction)  if the dates were wrong she technically could have been a preemie but we'll never know.
