Your first baby gestation

post #1 of 16
Thread Starter 
Soooo, BU Moms what week were you in when you delivered your first baby? I hear that subsequent pregnancies are generally born a little sooner than the first.

Re: Your first baby gestation

Alyssa was born 10 days early, Kate was one day shy of full term (so 36 weeks 6 days or there abouts) and Peyton was about 14 days early.

Re: Your first baby gestation

I haven't really noticed a big difference. The length of Labor-YES
My first son was induced 2 weeks early due to preclampsia
Bailey was born EXACTLY on his due date
Emily came a month early but we think that it was due to her heart condition
Payton came 6 days before her EDD but my doctor swept my membranes cuz we were scared that she was going to be another big baby (Bailey was 10pnds 5ounces 23 inches).

Re: Your first baby gestation

My daughter was born at 37 weeks 2 days - I was preeclamptic
My son was born at 37 weeks 4 days - he was measuring huge (40 wks at 35 wks gestation). We waitied until 37/4 to make sure his lungs were fine. He was 9# 3 1/2 oz and his lungs were fine!

Re: Your first baby gestation

1st 38 wks
2nd 39 wks
3rd 40 wks
4th 41 wks
5th evicted at 38.5 wks.

I am an exception to the rule though most moms do have shorter gestational periods with each child, just.. not me LOL

Re: Your first baby gestation

1st was 3 weeks early
2nd was 4 weeks early
3rd had to be induced at 42 weeks.

I was prepared to go super early with Maci (3rd) so that last month was MISERABLE for me.

Oh, no, Shona! I did not know this about you. You realize that now that you are pregnant with a girl, you are going to be pregnant FOREVER since your babies don't ever want to come out! That will be your luck. You'll be toting around a 16 year old in your womb!

Re: Your first baby gestation

Emily was born at 41 weeks, exactly one week after her due date. I had her by emergency c-section.
Travis was a scheduled c-section, we think about 10 days early, but we don't really know exactly when I conceived him, so that's only a guess.
