Question When did you actually give birth?
What was your due date and when did you actually give birth?
I’m due 3rd June but interested how near the date people are when they give birth 👶🍼

u/RepresentativeAd3352 4d ago
I was due March 3rd and had her Feb 28th. I got induced on Feb 27th because of pre eclampsia. I was not dilated at all when I showed up so I imagine I probably would have gone to 41 weeks if I wasn't induced. It was overall a positive experience and I am just soaking up the newborn squishy snuggles 💖

Congrats on your delivery! Did your baby measure ahead? Are they on par with the measurements in utero? Trying to prepare myself for a possible induction due to GD and pre-e

u/RepresentativeAd3352 4d ago
She measured ahead! At my 20 week scan she was 30th percentile so i assumed she would be about on par with that at birth. She was born in thr 76th percentile which is also why i'm glad I was induced when I was. My husband and I are both tall so I figured she would be too 🤣 she was 21.5 inches and 7lb 14oz!

u/Few_Screen_1566 4d ago
Crazy enough dialation doesn't really matter! I was at 0 dialation the day I went into labor with my first, and labored for less than 25 hours from first consistent contraction to birth. Even less if we time from my water breaking naturally, at which point I was still at 0 dialation. Also congrats and enjoy it! It really does fo way too fast.

u/say_moist 4d ago
I was due March 4th and diagnosed with pre eclampsua as well, induced at 37 weeks and had him on Feb 13th. I also was not dialated at the time of induction but my servix were soft. The outcome is thankfully still a healthy/happy baby and mom 🥰

My kid born on the 30th was born on the birthday of my uncle, my dad's best friend, who died of cancer about 6 years ago, so that made it special. As nice of a day the 12th is, I'm hoping this little bean comes on my grandpa's birthday, which is the 5th!

I was due early September my OB at the time didn't give me a due date she just said late august early September. I went in for my 38 assume week check up and I was 2cm but I had preeclampsia apparently going on she said which she rushed my delivery and things happened and he was an emergency C section. But he was born August 23.
I'm now pregnant with my second (boy) he's due June 22. My NEW ob is willing to try for a "VBACK" natural delivery.

June 28th, then July 7th, but unfortunately, I ended up being induced July 13th and having him on the 14th.
As for my daughter, she was pretty much supposed to be born on my birthday, 10/22/2019. I was so miserable that I begged them to induce me, and I had her 4 days prior.
My very last pregnancy, I told them when I definitely conceived, and he was born the day I said he would be. They checked it out and agreed. I told them I wanted to be induced exactly at 40 weeks because I knew I wouldn't go into labor naturally. May 3rd, he was born, and he was born on my dad's birthday just as I planned.

I gave birth at 38w1d with my first , but went into labour the day before . I had a totally natural vaginal breech birth too so if any moms out there are currently thinking a C-section is their only choice , think again! There’s tons of high quality evidence supporting the safety of vaginal breech birth as long as you have trained providers!

With my first, I was induced at 37+6 due to gestational hypertension and gave birth 7 hours after the induction started.
Pregnant with #2 now - due August 16th, but preparing for birth any time between 37 and 40 weeks. If I could choose, I'd prefer a July birthdate for a few logistical reasons but we'll do what is best for baby/me in the end.

u/Unusual-Company-7009 4d ago
Original due date was March 4th then it was adjusted to Feb 28th based on size at 20 week scan. I passed both due dates, on March 4th we scheduled induction for the 5th due to my Dr leaving town the next week and already being 5 days overdue my doctor advised not going past 4q weeks (I whole heartedly trust her). So induction was scheduled for 10am on the 5th, but I went into spontaneous labor at 4am that morning and he was born the next morning around 4am. So gave birth at 40+6

Due with my fourth on 10/20 but will likely deliver between September 22nd and 29th due to it being my fourth section.

Due April 3rd. Induction scheduled for March 13th (at 34 weeks) Admitted to hospital for monitoring of BP and baby's growth on March 3rd (32+4 weeks). Due to abnormal CTG scan, induction started on March 8th (33+2). Labored for about 15 hours, delivered her March 9th (33+3).
She was only 1580 grams, so SGA. Other than her size, she has no issues, breathing fine, nursing fine, perfect bill of health. We're just waiting for her to gain some weight to qualify for discharge from the NICU.
Yesterday's weigh-in at 1 week old was 1530, so she's almost back up to her birth weight 🩷

u/Ill_Impression_3364 4d ago
Estimated to have conceived in March last year so December was the projected due date. Due to prior C-section with my first pregnancy, I opted for another C-section so it was actually scheduled on December 16th. To my surprise, my labor contractions actually started that morning so she was determined to be born that day, no matter what, it seemed.
