I just saw a post about guessing for a soon to be mom. Good luck and Congrats to her, first off, but was just curious at what week did you deliver?
I was 36 weeks with my son and 37 weeks with my daughter. I am currently 33 weeks with baby # 3 and the weeks are just slowing down now, haha, but just curious to see who had to wait the whole 40 (or even past 40) and who got to go early.
The first was at 41 weeks induced, the next two where c-section at 39 weeks. Also, I might add. My first was 11lbs and 1 oz boy, my second was 10 lbs and 2 oz. boy and my third (the girl) was 9 lbs and 8 oz. I did NOT have gestational diabetes. I only gained 25 lbs with my first (it was all baby) , 35 with my second, and 60 (sniff, sniff) with my daughter.

33 weeks exactly with a 3 week NICU stay. Not something I would wish on my worst enemy. Keep cooking as long as you can mamas.

I gave birth to my son at 39 weeks, 4 days. I birthed him on March 24th, and his due date was March 27th. I knew the exact date that I conceived, and I had a typical pregnancy with no complications. My son was 7lbs, 15 oz.

What a fun topic of conversation :) I have one daughter, born at 35 weeks. My water broke at work 4 days after we took our child birth class. She was 5lbs 5oz and in the NICU for almost a week. We brought her home at 5lb even and she's a perfect, petite 3 year old!

I'm the person who skews the statistics:
one at 24 weeks, 1lb 11oz, 3 months in the NICU, She's 15 now, both gifted and learning disabled.
one at 37 weeks, 8 lbs, after I spent 8 weeks in the hospital on bed rest.
The longer you go the better!

I was induced at 42 weeks with each of my kids. Guess my body just was not into the natural birth thing, either that or my boys just needed extra time to cook! :) They were still both under 8 pounds at 42 weeks.

Both my kids were delivered right before midnight =-)
41 weeks + 4 days (but I think my due date was a little off...I had longer cycles back then).

I went into my 37 week appt with my first, and during my first ever pelvic exam of the pregnancy, my doctors eyes got huge, and he took a step back! I said "what?", He said "Well get in your car and go now! You're 7 centimeters." I hadn't felt a thing yet. This ended in a c-section at 37 weeks. Number 2 was a scheduled c section at 38 weeks.

stats say that the average is 41 weeks 3 days, I believe. You aren't actually overdue till you get to 42 weeks, and I've met women who went to 43 or 44!
Mine were born at 32, 34, 36, 37, 40 weeks. In that order. even at 37 weeks she was too early, so I am a firm believer in getting to the 40 week mark if possible.
