What "Week" Did You Deliver?

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.

Thanks! :)

What can I do next?

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.

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 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.
