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!

I was induced two days after my due date so I was still at 40 weeks :) Good luck!

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!
