I'm hoping to avoid induction this time, it was very difficult and exhausting starting from zero. I have a feeling I'm about 5 days behind their measurements, so I think I'll be "late". I'm guessing 40+3
DD was born 4 days past my due date of record based on lmp, but my water broke exactly 40 weeks from my calculations based on ovulation, and dd was born the next day.
Based on that, I think this guy will come on time or a day or two early, but really there's no telling. Attempting vbac, so I'll have an rcs scheduled around 41 weeks just in case.
I went into labor at 41+4 and she was born the next day. I would REALLY appreciate it if this kid makes an earlier appearance, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

With DD we had a scheduled c section at 39 weeks but when time came closer she was small enough that my OB was ok with trying an induction. Labored on pitocin over 18 hours, broke my water, started my epi hoping to get some relief and sleep, failure to progress, ending in an emergency c section a little over 24 hours after it all started.
DS was a scheduled c section at 39 weeks and heaven compared to my first.
These girls will make their debut at the latest at 37 weeks. My OB doesn't know if I'll make it that far or not.

DS was born at 40 + 6. It was a pretty short labor, and I only pushed for 5 minutes. There is no real reason, but I expect and wouldn't mind for this baby to come late as well (but I want to be home in time for the Olympics!). I hope to again have a short L&D - hoping this baby just falls out of me!
DS was born at 40+6 and DD was 40+2. Both times I went into labor on my own. I'm hoping and thinking this little gal will come sometime at 39 weeks because I ovulated early but idk, my babies like to stick. I got horrible anxiety the last couple of weeks of pregnancy and I'm not looking forward to that.

I was induced at 41 weeks with DD. After 26 hours of not progressing past 4cm, with multiple failed epidurals, we did a c-section. I am going to attempt a VBAC this time so I would very much appreciate if this little guy would come before that and make my life easier, but I am going to guess he will be late. Since I am having to switch my OB I am not so sure what they will say or if they will want to schedule a RCS. We will see.

C section at 39 weeks due to DS being frank breech. Tried external version and didn't work, so c section. They want this baby out at 39 weeks because of my GD. I'm still hoping for a VBAC, but am going to have a c section scheduled just in case.
DS1- induced at 39.0 for pre e. DS2- repeat cs was scheduled for 39.0 but I went into labor at 38.4 and delivered by cs.
I think this little guy will come again before my repeat which is scheduled for 39.2. I'm guessing he will come Fourth of July because it's my favorite holiday haha! So that would be 38.2.
DD - induced at 37 weeks with cholestasis. 16 hours of pitocin drip later I delivered. Odds are pretty high I'll be rediagnosed soon and I'll be induced again.
I was a week overdue and induced due to low amniotic fluid. I would really rather go a little early with this one, but I am assuming I will be overdue again.

I went into labor and delivered at 39+5. I had spent two days rolling on my ball trying to get started because I didn't want to be induced at 40 weeks for GD. I don't know if it helped or not.
I was 2 cm and 80% effaced at 36 weeks. They ended up inducing at 37 weeks because of pre-e with a pretty uneventful short labor. I am hoping somewhere around 38 weeks this time. They are monitoring my placenta so it may end up being a scheduled C section.

I went into labour at 39 weeks on the dot. Apparently I was walking around 3-4 cm dilated for a couple of days at least (had an internal exam at 38+5). I had a massage at 38+5 which my RMT told me could bring on labour.
I have a feeling this one will be early too, I'm definitely scheduling a massage around 39 weeks!
