due dates??

For those who have already had a baby, how many weeks were you when you gave birth.?? I know they say most women go over there due date but I don't see how that would be the case when everyone I know went before.

Well I had a girl also. That was the first question the NICU doctor asked me...do you know if your having a boy or girl. I said girl and he said good cause girls lungs mature faster then boys. My daughter was perfectly fine and didn't need to be hooked up to anything.

I had my water broke at 38 weeks. Got to the hospital at 1:30pm for pelvic pressure with pain and not feeling baby move. They hooked me up and gave me 7 up to drink next thing I know baby was going crazy. I had contractions but they didn't hurt at all. My doctor must of known me so well cuz he told them to admit me. I went up to my room, got an IV hooked up to me. I wasn't induced. I was naturally dilating. Went from a 3 to a 5-6 from 1:30-6:15. Water broke at 6:30pm and my son was born at 8:36pm. All natural too. :)

I have a small frame and I wasnt feeling much movement so my dr made sure everything was ok and induced. And with my 4th pregnancy he thought my son was not going to be as big as the others so he scheduled me for induction at 41 weeks, the night before my induction my water broke. My son was 8lbs 15oz.

I was 34 weeks with my first. Doctors never figured out why I went into labor early, but my water broke on its own

I was induced at 38 weeks with my first, 39 1/2 induced with # 2. #3 induced at 38 weeks and #4 supposed to be induced at 41 weeks but my water broke the night before my induction. I want to go into labor on my own this time as well.
