did your baby come before 40weeks

Hi I'm 28weeks I was just wondering how  likely is it that babies come before 40weeks I'm due May 3rd but he's so big already everyone saying he won't make it till May . I was hoping he came around 36weeks

My first came at 38 weeks on the dot.

My second ended up cesarian at 39 1/2 weeks (reason for cesarian unrelated to diabetes - she was tied up in the umbilical cord and was unable to drop), though I was probably in labor for at least 3 - 4 days before she was finally delivered.

Babies grow at different rates. Baby might seem big now but end up average. And unless baby is 10 pounds at 37 weeks they won't induce you. They will índuce at 37 weeks of there's a medical issue, that's it. Being bug isn't considered an issue unless there's something like gestational diabetes
