Re: question about first babies

[Guest guest]

I was a week late with and I probably would have gone longer IF the

doctor hadn't induced and broke my bag of waters when I was in the hospital 2

cm dilated.

My babies were always early 3-4 weeks early. My friends and family usually

had them early by only 1 week or on time by 1-2 days. With a Christmas Eve

due date I would think the Dr. would enduce you before the holiday, if all

looks right. My due date is 1-15-01 I will look forward to your posts.

My first, Madison, was due on December 20th, 1999, due to severe

complication because of OSS the doctor induced labor on the morning

of December 21st. I don't know how long it would have been otherwise

but when he did my " check " on the afternoon of the 20th I was three

cm dilated so it probably would not have been much longer.

Due to the problems, she will not only be my first, but also my last!

The sincerest good luck is sent your way!

Hi,

My first(and only right now)was either perfectly on

time according to one doctor or a week late according

to another. My first OB gave us the EDD of June 18(

iwrote this in my pregnancy journal, then forgot about

it), I changed OBs and my second moved up th date ten

days(8-11th). We really hope for the 12th ( FIL-10th

of june, HUBBY-11th of june) but it was not to be. DS

popped out with the aid of forcepts and a vaccumm on

the 18th. There is a long labor story that goes along

with this sentence but maybe another post.

GOod luck, I don't thing it is a wives tale because

even both of my OBs told that first babies are late

and the lactation class and birthing class teahers

both said the same thing.

My son was born 9 weeks early by emergency c-section (I went into labour

naturally but had some major dramas as it progressed). So its not true for

everyone...
