What GA were you born?

[sammichcat]

And was that normal for your family?

[jessila]

I was born on my EDD. My mom had insanely fast labors so her MW told her to call the hospital, which was over an hour away, and say her water broke. MW broke my mom's water and I was born like an hour later. My sister was near her EDD and my poor mother had to wait 3 extra weeks for my brother.

My son was born at 39+6.

[kookie3631]

I was born 5 days early.

DD was 12 days late 😳. With my due date being at the beginning of June, this kid better not be as late as their sister! (And not be born on 6/15-FILs bday or 6/17-Father’s Day)

[Speedy]

I was supposedly 2 weeks late, but my mom also didn't know she was pregnant with me until she was 20 weeks+, so not as accurate. I don't remember when my brother was born but I think it was a little late.
I'm pretty sure both of my cousins were late, except for the RCS.

[sammichcat]

I was 6 weeks early, and my brother 5 weeks early.
H was 8 weeks early, and his sister was 5 weeks early.
Luckily, my babies don't seem to want to come early so I've made it to my RCS both times. FX it's the same for this time!

I was 10 weeks early. I was my mother’s fifth pregnancy and second child to survive. She had an incompetent cervix, which is not hereditary.

DS was born at 41 weeks.

My sister (mom’s first pregnancy) was 5 weeks early. No health complications.
Second pregnancy Mom delivered a non living baby girl at 20 weeks
Third and fourth pregnancies lasted somewhere between 23-28 weeks; both boys delivered living but didn’t make it through the day.

Mom and Dad traveled 6 hours to an OB he met in med school so she could get a cerclage placed when she got pregnant with me. Thanks to that & medical advancements - notably the steroid shot to speed lung development in likely preterm infants & a new kind of incubator the local NICU got - I made it.

[tincupchalice]

My brother and I were both two weeks late. IDK about DH. Mine so far have been on time or just a few days late.

[adeline]

My sister and I were both planned c sections as my mum had a history of surgery in the area and they didn’t want to stress the scars. So we were both brought on at 38 weeks.
I had DD 6 days early (went into labour 7 days early). My sister had her DD 8 days early.
That’s why I am 5% nervous I’ll go into labour before my RCS day (6 days early).

[larzhope]

I was born 14 weeks early. My brother was born exactly on his due date. My MIL had all 3 of her kids right around her due date. I predict I'm going to need to be induced

[robot]

I was born on my EDD, my younger brother was 4 days late.

DD was born on her EDD (which just so happened to be the same as mine). I'd be thrilled with a June birthday this time around (5/31 EDD), if this girl decides to be a day or 2 late. But it will also be a billion degrees so I'm sure I will be very very done.

[itsmemeg]

I think I was scheduled c section so on time and my brother was 3 weeks late.

[tinyjoys]

My younger brother, sister & I were all EDD babies.

ETA: I went into labor with #1 11 days before his EDD and he was born 10 days before via unplanned c-section, but he'd been trying to escape since sometime around 32/33 weeks, just finally succeeded in breaking my water at that point. #2's RCS was 3 days before her EDD and she needed to be pulled out of my ribs (not really), but not even remotely engaged. #3's RCS is "scheduled" for 5/1 right now, 4 days before her EDD. That may change after last night's findings & depending on what the MFM says on Wednesday to sometime around 4/24, so 11 days early.

[Speedy]

Apparently my brother was induced right around his DD so my mom could try for a VBAC. Didn't work and she wound up having a C anyways.

[Lord Disick]

My older brother was induced a few days late and I was born 2 weeks early. My DS was a due date baby and I would really appreciate this one coming at 38 weeks and not being 9lbs like her brother.

[budders]

I was almost 3 weeks late and weighed nearly 11 pounds 😳. My sisters were both close to due date and weighed 8-9 lbs.

V was born at 39 weeks (induced), but I’m pretty sure he would have been late if I didn’t need the induction because I wasn’t dialated or effaced at all when I went into the hospital. Thankfully he was a small baby just over 6lbs. Hoping this little guy comes on his EDD or shortly after and is small too.

[ajm]

I was a few days late and my sister was late as well.

DD was induced at 39 weeks due to high blood pressure otherwise I'm confident she would've been a week or so late. My cervix was barely open when I was induced.

[getzystark]

So I was born in the mid 80s in a small-ish hospital with only a nursery. My mom was 34 weeks with contractions and I was having decels. They decided to do a c-section and I went home...at 34 weeks, like 5 days later. She struggled to carry to term and had a history of terrible fibroids (which I don’t have) and ended up with a hysterectomy because of it. I’ve not struggled with loss but I do have recurrent gestational hypertension. My DD was born at 37+4 due to that.

[numbears]

No clue about myself, but DS was 39 weeks 5 days.

[mrsweasley]

I was born at least a week late, I think my younger sister was a little early

MH was supposedly a month early, but MIL is a little nuts and likes to embellish for attention. TW

SPOILER: Click to show

She claims to have had a m/c and then was KU again the next month, but MH was 8lb6oz and I wonder if she was carrying twins (she is a twin and was AMA) and lost one or just had bleeding. They didn't do any ultrasounds or anything back then

DS was 3 days early and 7lb 6oz. DD was 9 days late and 9lb 2oz. I hope this one will be on time/a touch early and not heavier!

[Deleted]

My brother and I were both a few days late. I was 7lb 14oz, and my brother was 9lb 4 oz. DS was induced at 39 weeks and was 8lb 14oz.

[Risscaboobs]

I was born via emergency cesarean at 36 weeks after my parents were in a car wreck that flipped their vehicle. I was under distress. We were all fine.

[birkmmm]

I was born 2 weeks early and my mom had all 5 of us early, between 2-5 weeks early with us all.

DH was born at 28 wks but he his a twin and that was part of it. They both were good though after months of being in the hospital

Ds1 was born at 38.5 weeks but I was induced with him.
