Haha Mrs Emma we did that too!
with my first (12 days over, waters broken by MW) we tried to go everywhere we could to encourage an awkward place for my waters to break. (didn't work).
My 2nd was 3 days early by my dates, 10 days by 12 week scan, but he was born with an infection so that made a difference I think.]]> Tue, 13 Jul 2010 13:43:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34651&PID=1096848&title=how-many-wks-days-before-after-due-date#1096848 <![CDATA[How many wks/days before/after due date? : #1 - 4 days late #2 - 5 days late #3...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34651&PID=1096759&title=how-many-wks-days-before-after-due-date#1096759 Author: EmDee

#1 was 8 weeks early on the dot, I thought he was going to be a couple of weeks late at least and he looked like he was going to be a BIG baby (up around 90th percentile)
#2 well, I'm still pregnant (thank goodness!) but preparing for this one to come early as well. However, quite a different pregnancy so far and this baby is smaller (50th percentile at the mo) so perhaps we'll get lucky and go full term

Caleb was 10 days late and 7lbs15oz, so pretty standard here!

I reckon if you count down to 42 weeks you won't be quite so annoyed when you go overdue. After all, 42 weeks is the longest they will usually let you go so that's a guaranteed date!]]> Mon, 12 Jul 2010 18:10:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34651&PID=1096090&title=how-many-wks-days-before-after-due-date#1096090 <![CDATA[How many wks/days before/after due date? : 7 looooooooooong days late lol...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34651&PID=1095994&title=how-many-wks-days-before-after-due-date#1095994 Author: Emmecat

I was 1 week early when waters broke and she was born 6 days before due date. In saying that I am rather small 5'2 and 52kg so MW didn't think I would have a baby bigger than 7 lbs and if I did it would be a difficult birth
I honestly thought I would be 2 weeks late so was rather shocked/annoyed bout being early!

Anyway she was early but I was 5 days late for my mum who is same size and my baby was 2 oz heavier than I was, also my mum was a week early with my gran and was a bigger baby but she was breech and grans waters broke while the doc was trying to turn her.

DP was a couple of weeks early too but MIL water broke due to an infection.]]> Mon, 12 Jul 2010 16:08:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34651&PID=1095877&title=how-many-wks-days-before-after-due-date#1095877 <![CDATA[How many wks/days before/after due date? : I went 6 days overdue.

I went 6 days overdue.

The best part about being overdue is the look on people's faces when they ask the age old question 'when are you due?' and you say 'today' 'yesterday' or 'last Thursday' it's priceless Especially if you're in a supermarket, shopping mall etc. and they look at you like you're about to have the baby right their in their shop.

ETA - I almost want to go overdue with my next so I can do it again lol

the first often is late, its more uncommon for the baby to be born early , and 5% are born on their due date .
In saying that , there are plenty of exceptions to the rule and a lot of first time mums have their baby early .

As for mine , first was 8 days over, 2nd was 6 days over , and this one is due on the 8th , but im saying the 16th ]]> Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:10:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34651&PID=1095652&title=how-many-wks-days-before-after-due-date#1095652 <![CDATA[How many wks/days before/after due date? : I was 2 weeks early with #1.Hoping...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34651&PID=1095648&title=how-many-wks-days-before-after-due-date#1095648 Author: Lou1972

My count down is definitely on!!.... curious to know how many days before or after your due date your little one was born!! I know everyone is different.. but I'm curous never the less!! It's my first baby and I have been told it's likely I will go over 40wks.. although specialist has said I am carrying a biggish baby already.
Most people I know were induced with their first baby- so I know thats a possibility.... ]]> Mon, 12 Jul 2010 13:28:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34651&PID=1095596&title=how-many-wks-days-before-after-due-date#1095596
