First babies.. early, on time, or late??

Both of my girls 2 days late but I walk lots & that seemed to help otherwise maybe longer. I'm expecrting again & so we'll see if my record will stand.

Most first time moms ARE late.. which is a statistic I quoted repeatedly while pregnant with DD.

I also quoted the whole 'most women have their water artificially broken - movies just make it look like women go into water-breaking labor all the time'.

and that is probably why my child broke her water in a grocery store on her due date

Both kids were 2 days late but I walked more few days b4.

She came three days before my personal estimated due date, and 7 before the doc's.

36w3d - I have a bicornuate bicolis uterus, though. It's a uterine anomaly that developed when I was about 7-9 weeks in utero. My uterus is divided exactly in half from top to bottom, meeting only in the last few centimeters above the cervix. The two halves function as separate uteri and only the one that carries the baby grows. It is half the size of a normal uterus and my high risk OB says it is very irritable about having to stretch so much to accommodate a term baby that it just can't get that far. 36w is pretty good, though, considering and my little 5lb7oz'er did great! We only stayed at the hospital 24 hours and he had no complications other than needing a little assistance to start breathing right at birth. I hope the next baby makes it that far and does just as well. We were all so surprised and so grateful for his good health.

My first was two weeks early. So when next one waited till after his edd, I thought I had been pregnant forever. Dd was also past her edd.

My first was born at 36 weeks, 1 day.

My first was 39 weeks 3 days.... So I was pretty close to their expected due date

My first was born 3 days after her due date. I count that as on time as she was pretty darn close!
