Right. LO2 arrived eight hours after her due date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-into-labor-earlier-or-later-than-you-expected/page/2#post-1444629 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 00:42:57 +0000 wonderstruck 1444629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeygold89: Same for me!

Was induced at 40w 6d. With #2, I full expected to go earlier/before my scheduled csection date...just because that would be my luck haha I went to my csection date(39w 1d) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-into-labor-earlier-or-later-than-you-expected#post-1444188 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 19:16:15 +0000 artsyfartsy 1444188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I delivered on my due date...so right on time?

I was convinced I'd go to 42 weeks and beyond, and was planning to fight my OB about getting induced… but my water broke at 39 weeks and LO was born at a 39 +2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-into-labor-earlier-or-later-than-you-expected#post-1444089 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 17:10:15 +0000 LovelyPlum 1444089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm feeling like I'm going to go late with this one, but who knows.

I was in complete denial for a few minutes when my water broke and woke me up at 5am. I kept thinking I just peed the bed, because I just wasn't expecting him to come early! I was shocked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-into-labor-earlier-or-later-than-you-expected#post-1443616 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 10:31:24 +0000 yellowbird 1443616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I would go to 40 weeks or beyond.
