Has your doctor started to see if you were dilated or have you had any real contractions?
i haven't been checked yet :/ i went for my 34 week appointment on Monday and my doctor took my measurements and the baby's heartbeat but that's it. i get BH contractions from time to time but i don't believe they are real contractions. I'm sure at my 36 week appointment ill get checked.
i think first time moms are more likely to go over due but really everyone is different and there isnt a way of knowing when it will happen ever... even moms that were dialated early can take a long time to go into labor... and as far as BH contractions go everyone has them, they start around 6 weeks and continue through the pregnancy so they cant really tell you much either... jsut a waiting game! you getting close to the end tho! congrats :)
They say ftm are usually overdue before going early. However I went into labor at 37 weeks with my first and they stopped it and then a week later my water broke so it can happen!! You never know.
I was overdue with my first which my Dr had said was normal.
First babies are usually overdue bc your body hasn't had a baby before. Although this isn't always the case, it's hard to tell because even if you are dilated when they check you it doesn't mean much.
I had my first son at 39 weeks 1 day. I'm due November 11th, and I'm getting anxious because I wish I knew exactly what day so I can start working towards that instead of an estimation. I'm terrified the one day i go for an appointment, I'm gonna be 4cm dilated and admitted to the hospital and the house a wreck!
I was doing research on due dates and when women usually give birth in comparison to their due dates and over 25% of women, including ftm, were early. But it really just depends on your body.
