    Water broke and labor began naturally at 38+1 (FTM so she caught us off guard! I was expecting to go late.)

    Went into labor at 32 weeks naturally. Meds held it off until 35+6 and had LO 36 weeks exactly.

    Spontaneously went into labor at 30 weeks. Contractions and lost mucous plug (although I didn't know it at the time....I thought it was my water breaking!). Went in the hospital on bed rest and magnesium to give LO a chance to get steroids for her lungs. Delivered LO at 30w5d.

    I had a very normal uneventful pregnancy. They have no idea why she came early.

    My water broke at 34 weeks 5 days. We don't know why....lo was breech, so I had a C-section a few hours later...they tried to wait until the next morning but contractions started so they bumped it up.

    I lost my mucus plug a week before and went to the hospital because I thought my water had broken (turns out it dadn't) but sure enough lo was born a week later.

    I did have a SCH that was very odd (kept disappearing and reappearing), but that was the only abnormal thing about my pregnancy, and I had no red flags for pre-term labor.

    Went into labor naturally both times...

    38w3d and at 39w5d.

    It is a tough last 4-5 weeks of pregnancy when you can pretty much "go" at any time!

    I had a c-section scheduled for 39 weeks due to lo's position---she was breech. I went in for my 38 week check-up and I had elevated bp and other things and my dr said we are having her in the next day or two. Hospital had an opening the next morning, so in I went.

    My twins were born at 36 weeks. At the end I had really high blood pressure, cholestasis and was dialated 5cm so they admitted me. The dr broke my water & they were born the following afternoon.
