The *least* she could say is "I didn't go early, but you never know . . . pregnancy is such a wild card and everybody is different!* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1223647 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 10:48:44 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1223647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom went late all 3 times (varying between a few days and 2 weeks) and I went into labor on my own 2 days before DS was due. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1223632 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 10:43:28 +0000 mamabolt 1223632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom gave birth early 3 times (3 days, a week, and two weeks).

I was induced at 38 weeks and had a horrific delivery . . . and would do it all over again in a heartbeat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1223550 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 10:19:42 +0000 skipra 1223550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would guess no. My mom went into labor with my oldest sister late, she thinks by 1-2 weeks and then had scheduled c sections for my other sister and me. I was induced one week early so I can't say personally, but my sister had one baby just about on time, one 2 weeks early, and the last one nearly 2 weeks late! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1223436 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:56:11 +0000 babypugs 1223436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom and I both went into labor at 38 weeks, so maybe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1221952 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 10:56:52 +0000 anandam 1221952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wonder if mayyyybe this used to be more true before the era of sonograms? Because my mom had crazy long irregular cycles, so her due date was way off based on the standard LMP rules. Her first baby was three weeks late. My cycles are similar to hers, which I imagine could be hereditary, but my due date will be way more accurate thanks to modern methods. I think if I were pregnant in the 70s my baby would also be very "late." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1191258 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 15:06:03 +0000 Crisark 1191258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, my mom was 10 days late delivering me, late delivering my little sister and my older sister was premature. She also had no real complications and very fast deliveries. </p> <p>All three of my girls were born before their due date, one was 13hr labor, 6hr labor and 4hr labor.<br /> All involved Pre E and inductions. </p> <p>Nothing like my mothers less than an hour deliveries on her own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1191256 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 15:05:49 +0000 swurlygurl 1191256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sure hope not! My mom never went into labor with any of her 3 kids - ended up losing the first one for this reason :'( DD came 1 week early - hopefully my other children will follow suit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1191248 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 15:03:56 +0000 JoJoGirl 1191248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was born 3 weeks early and so was my LO!! My mom is *convinced* they are related, but we asked up and down at the hospital and everyone said no, just a coincidence. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1191242 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 15:02:36 +0000 whodat 1191242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom was about 5 days late with me (the oldest) and 2 weeks late with my brother (eeek!), but luckily I managed to have two relatively on-time babies -- one 2 days late and one 2 days early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1189223 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 20:28:07 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1189223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was also induced - two weeks late. I take heart that my mom wasn't nearly as late with my younger sis, so maybe I will be the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1189183 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 20:08:18 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1189183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Confetti: dang it! I'm afraid that's my fate. I was induced with #1 so I have no idea How late I would have gone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1189178 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 20:05:01 +0000 GrapeCrush 1189178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. My mom had me 4 weeks early, my brother were late. But she went into labor with all of is naturally and had vaginally deliveries. I never went into labor on my own, never dilated and had c-sections. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1189136 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 19:43:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 1189136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom had 5 kids and the timing was kind of all over-- oldest was late, second was early and nearly born in the car on the way, and I think the rest of us were within the norm of what you would expect? All of her births were pretty easy (as easy as they can be) and she never had any pain drugs, though she was induced with me after her water broke.</p> <p>My sister went 10 days late with my nephew, had a complicated, long labor resulting in an emergency c-section. I had C 1 day before my due date and had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery. I guess I'm lucky that I took after my mom on that, even though my sister didn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1189124 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 19:37:16 +0000 pastemoo 1189124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anecdotally, no.

My water broke at 39w5d and I gave birth 9 hours later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1189093 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 19:21:44 +0000 hellobeeboston 1189093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No!</p> <p>My mom never went into labor either time. Her water broke with me, but she felt no contractions not even pitocin woukd get labor going and had c-sections.</p> <p>My water had to be broken when I was about 9cm and had a vaginal delivery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1189087 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 19:17:23 +0000 cmomma17 1189087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. My mom was very early (2 months) with my sister, early with me (3 weeks?), and I delivered my LO 5 days late! Her labors were also faster than mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1189078 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 19:13:34 +0000 creativemomma15 1189078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, it was the same. My mom delivered at 37 and 36 1/2 weeks, water broke both times. With DS my water broke at 36 weeks. One of my OBs said that it's not always true but another said that since I took after her with DS that it will probably happen again with this pregnancy. I have friends that have had almost identical labors as their moms did as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1189052 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 18:56:43 +0000 Cole 1189052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is very reassuring news! My mom says I was four weeks late-- I really hope her dates were off or something because that is ridiculous! My siblings were all late too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1189019 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 18:33:17 +0000 Running Elley 1189019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Both my sister and my brother (I don't count because I was a scheduled c) came late. I had DS at 38+5 and it's looking like DD will be at least a little early too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1188988 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 18:10:35 +0000 lemondrop 1188988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hopefully with #2, since she went 2 weeks early. </p> <p>With #1 I was a week early, and she was a week late- so far nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1188972 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 18:00:24 +0000 jh524 1188972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was hoping but I didn't have a labor/delivery anything like my mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1188956 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 17:50:04 +0000 Penny Lane 1188956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my very unscientific answer is no! my mama went the full 2 weeks overdue with me (had to be induced and I STILL didn't wanna come out!), almost the full 2 with my brother who ended up coming naturally, and carried my twin sisters til 38 weeks!</p> <p>then I had my LO a few days early. we'll see what happens with LO#2 though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1188951 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 17:49:03 +0000 sorrycharlie 1188951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my mom had me a few weeks early, i had LO exactly on time.</p> <p>but we both had incredibly, incredibly fast labors and deliveries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1188918 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 17:32:56 +0000 erinpye 1188918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope- has no impact at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-when-your-mom-went-into-labor-really-have-any-impact-on-when-you-will#post-1188912 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 17:26:27 +0000 birdofafeather 1188912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not for me. my mom was late with me, my brother and sister.
