I'm a stm to be. Have any of u had braxton hicks and period like cramps towards the end and still waited forever for baby? I thought he would be early because of this but he's still hanging in there.

1st 2 weeks early, 2nd 1 day before due date. So it just depends. 2nd delivery was much faster! 1st labor about 14 hours  with a little over an hour of pushing. 2nd labor maybe 9 hours  total, but first 7 wasn't sure it was real labor, not painful. Pushed once and there he was, lol. Thought the doc might not make it.

My first was a week early, I'm currently 40+2 and still no baby, so unfortunately that's not always true.

your due date is not an exact science. In  fact, I have heard it often times called your "due month" meaning baby can come 2 weeks before or after your projected due date. My first came a week early and my second was almost a week late.

Every pregnancy your child could come before due date. It has nothing to do with the number of times you've been pregnant. Every baby is different
