Just wondering if it is the norm to go early, on or past the EDD on the first pregnancy.
Feel free to comment!
Thanks!

I've read that first pregnancies are more likely to go long. I don't recall if that came from a reputable source though.

My water broke at exactly 38 weeks and I had him the next day.
I really wasn't expecting that at all!

Went into labor 2 days before my due date, had her the day before. She was very punctual!
I was totally sure I'd go past the due date since I have heard most first pregnancies due, and that's been the case among friends and family.

I went into labour the day after my due date and he was born early the following morning, so 2 days after due date.

I was induced for PIH but my OB told me the national average delivery date for first time moms is 41+2.

Other - I ended up with a scheduled c section at 39+1 but I think I would've gone past due. There was nothing going on to indicate labor was coming.

My water broke at 37 week exactly. Water broke at 1am and he arrived at 10:27 am.

First was 32 weeks. Next was 39 weeks. This one, if I go naturally, it'll be before 39 weeks, since that's as long as they're letting me go.

My contractions started at 39w4d ... Followed by my water breaking 3 hours later.
My midwives said most 1st time moms go to 41 weeks.

On my due date at like 6AM! But of course he was stubborn and didn't arrive until the next morning.

@Mamasig: Same.
C-section at 39 weeks, but I had absolutely no signs of labor.

38+5. I always heard first babies come late, so I was NOT expecting her to arrive that early.
