How many weeks were you when you gave birth?

This is just curious poll lol.  I'm getting closer to my due date now so I was wondering, on average, what week is most common for labor to begin.  ( What week were you in when you gave birth.)  Leave comments!

with my first i was 42 weeks(induced), and with both of my boys i was 10 days early sooo 38 1/2 weeks or there abouts(scheduled csections). with this one (almost 27 wks) i will be 39 1/2 weeks unless i go into labor early. so you probably cant use mine either...sorry

I went into labor when I was 38 weeks exactly but gave birth at 4am so technically I was 38w1d when I delivered. 2 weeks early and 8lbs 4oz...He would have been at least 10 pounds if he had waited any longer!! lol. My due date now is Oct. 9 and my midwife said if the same things happens again..I may just give birth in Sept. We'll see with baby #2!! =)

39 weeks 6 days, but you can't really count my labor because I was induced on 39weeks 5 days and in labor for 36 hours. Sorry I am not much help!

I went into labour at 39 weeks 5 days. He was born on hid due date, so born at exactly 40 weeks.
I'm hoping this one comes a little earlier this time. My lil boy was so big for me that it was a complicated delivery. Might get induced depending on the estimated weight of this baby when the times gets closer.

Ugh, unfortunatlly, I'm pretty sure that I am going to go late... I mean the odds are stacked against me.  LoL any who I miss carried my first, thus this is my first baby who i will be carrying to full turn... or there abouts, which means I will go late along with the fact that my mom was late with both of her babies(me and my bother) by about two weeks and both were induced.  So it looks like 42 weeks plus a few for me...

I voted for 41 weeks, b/c that was with my first.  (I was induced at 41 weeks; there was NO action going on.)

My second was 9 days early (so I guess 39 weeks?), and my 3rd was right on time.  

So you never really know!  Its part of the suspense.  Hang in there!

39w 5d buuttt, that due date was going off of my first u/s.  My second one two weeks later hit the nail right on the head.  The doc wouldnt change the due date because it was less than a week off, but if they would have changed it, it would have been 40w exactly.  (I did not remembe when my lmp was)

I love this...I'm due 4/20 and was wondering the same thing...I have a feeling though that I'll go late...

My friend just delivered 6 days late and her baby was 11lb 2oz!!!!!!  20 days before his due date he was already 7lbs!!!  I thought she would have gone early for sure...and we see the same ob and he doesn't believe in induction unless if you are a week overdue.  She ended up needing a c-section (no surprise!)
