At 41 weeks, (if I got that far) I would be induced--the military hospital won't allow him to stay inside after 41 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-for-first-time-moms#post-133298 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 14:27:03 +0000 obxwife 133298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby boy was 3 days past due.

But I was sure throughout my entire 3rd trimester that our baby was going to buck the trend and arrive early. In the end I started going into labor 5 days before her due date, and she was born 2 days before her due date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-for-first-time-moms#post-133115 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 06:17:36 +0000 pastemoo 133115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: wow!<br /> @Navy_Mommy: really? sounded really tough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-for-first-time-moms#post-129535 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 10:04:41 +0000 regberadaisy 129535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: me too re: the early votes!</p> <p>I'm 38 wks + 4days so we'll see! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-for-first-time-moms#post-129485 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:50:07 +0000 Navy_Mommy 129485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Haha, what's weird is looking back it wasn't THAT bad; I'm gonna do an "after the fact" post sometime soon with my thoughts on all that though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-for-first-time-moms#post-129074 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 06:24:30 +0000 winniebee 129074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm surprised by how many *early* votes there are!</p> <p>I haven't given birth yet but almost all of my first time mommy friends went early!

Charlie came on his due date. My ob says it's 50/50 in her experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-for-first-time-moms#post-128694 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:13:11 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 128694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.M57: My doctor said that most of her firs-time mom patients deliver at 39 weeks. However, I also go to a high risk specialist so most of her patients are dealing with something like high BP, GD, birthing multiples, etc.</p> <p>My Le Leche League book says that the average first-time mom delivers six to eight days after her due date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-for-first-time-moms#post-128690 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:05:21 +0000 MegWag 128690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My water broke 7 days before my due date and I delivered 2 days later.
