I'm sure this has been asked before..... But I'm wondering when did you (first time mommys) have your baby? How early, late or on time were you compared to your due dates?
Also, what signs or symptoms did you have if you we're early? Was your mother and/or sisters,etc.. Early as well?

Ummm I was practically induced with my first at 40+3 so I don't really know when he would've come. This time I was 41+5 when I delivered P.

40 weeks exactly. Went into labor three days before that at night and she came the morning of her due date.

I was one week early from the due date the doctor gave us based on the 14 week scan, but right on time based on the date we calculated based on last menstrual cycle
I had no warnings at all! it just sort of happened one day and baby was here 12 hours later!
my mom was late 2 weeks with me, and had a planned c section with my brother

On time with both! Except I was induced with my second for medical reasons but I was having regular contractions before the induction so I'm sure it wouldn't have been far off from my due date had it gone natural.

She was due 21st of June and that's the day she arrived! I'd started having super minor contractions the day before but everything kicked off for real at around 4 am on my due date and she was born at 9:30 that evening.
My mom was 13 days late with me so definitely no genetic correlation there!

I had him two days before his due date (although labor started the day before). No correlation, me and my brothers were all late, even the twins. I was 18 days late!

Right on time. No signs or anything until my water broke.
My mama was induced at 42 weeks with me and my brother, and had my twin sisters at 38 (i think) weeks. Based on this I was totally expecting to be induced

LO was 4 weeks early. He stopped moving and I called my dr office, who had me come in to get hooked up to the felt monitors... And based on that and a biophysical profile, it was decided that LO needed to come out NOW, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
So I had a c section that day. I have no idea when he would've come had I not had the c section.

I was induced and Lo was born 38+6. No idea when she would've made her grand entrance otherwise!

She was 3-4 days early, so almost right on time. My original due date was on July 3rd, but it was pushed a day early. I had her on June 29th.

Our little dude was 17 days early. We were in napa on our babymoon!
My mom said I was a few days late when she was pregnant, but the labor was fast (6 hrs). The only symptoms I had were my water breaking, losing my mucus plug and contractions (in that order). And like my mom, my labor was also really fast.

LO was 2 days early. I had early labor signs (severe cramping) starting about 2 days prior.

I was 13 days early. No signs of anything until my water broke. I was born 9 days late.

I went in to labor on my due date and she was born the next morning. For me there definitely was a genetic correlation because I was born on my due date.

Is it terrible that I'm keeping tally of those within the 2 week prior to EDD window in comparison to those 2 weeks after EDD? Right now it's 14 (before) to 10 (after), and it's giving me some hope that this LO will come in the next two weeks!! (I'm almost 38 weeks). Of course I know this isn't an exact science, but I'll cling to whatever I can!

Both myself and my daughter are due date babies. One of my sisters was two weeks early and my other sister was a week late.

Two days early for my LO. I had some minor cramping at work during the day. By the end of the day, I went into labor and had him the next morning. At the hospital, I received the phone call for my 40 weeks appointment. I cancelled it because we were leaving the hospital with LO at that time.

My mom and sister went late. I had no symptoms until my water broke at 39 weeks exactly.

She came at 39w2days. I had some discomfort in my stomach the night before around dinner but then went to normal and woke up at 7am with contractions. They went from 10-3 minutes apart in an hour, so there werent many signs.

Like @runsyellowlites, I was 41+5! It was a long, frustrating wait. Oh, and I was one of those people who's water breaking was essentially the first sign, although I did start losing my mucus plug about 5 days before.

DS was born 4 weeks early, no signs of labor my water just broke. My mom delivered my brother 3 weeks early and me 3 1/2 weeks early.

My LO was born at 36W2D.. I had NO warning signs. In fact, I had a "to-do" list written out at work for the next day and had gone out to dinner with a girlfriend the night before my water broke!
My mom had both my brother and me three weeks early, so I always had a feeling I would go into labor early.

2 days late. I had my membranes stripped that morning and went into labor that evening.
