40weeks!
Due date was 22 June 2010 and baby was born 22 June 2010
was supposed to be induced @ 7am but my waters broke around 5am :) :), ended up having an emergency C-section due to baby being in distress!

My first born arrived at 40 weeks, 2 days.
My second born arrived at 41 weeks.

They were both happy to stay inside as long as possible.
I went into labour naturally with both, but they both ended up being c section babies

Interesting topic,My son was born at 40 weeks,on his due date 17/08/2010,had to be induced,nothing happened,had to do an emegency c section,inahled meconium,spend two weeks in nicu,Joli that pic of Callum just breaks my heart,to think Mj went throught the same,tubes every where,and to see other babies in worse conditions,found them at nicu and left them there,but they are little soldiers,they put on a good fight :)

Thanks Joli - yeah I dont want baba to arrive now but I have such a strong feeling that its nearly time - which I suppose could mean anything.

My others were both "early" - one at 36wks and the other at 37wks - so I am prone to have early babies!

Kaylae, similar story here: our first baby was stillborn at 27 weeks - up to today we don't know the reason for his passing despite post-mortem. I was induced after diagnosis and had horrible contractions, but decided against pain relief. I vomitted all over the show. I'm so glad I gave birth naturally to him as we got to see and hold him and say goodbye - he was perfect and strong (weighed exactly 1 kg).

Lilly was born at 38 weeks exactly. Went for normal gynae check up in the morning, doc said I was 3 cm dilated. He insisted to book me in that evening 'to speed things up' due to my history, he didn't want to risk an infection. I was very reluctant as I had wanted an all natural birth so badly. But I was also scared to lose her, too, so I went in. They inserted the gel capsule at about 22:00 and Lilly was born at 05:02. Drug free natural birth (used HypnoBirthing techniques).
