that your first child always is delivered well after your EDD

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I had my son at 39 weeks and my pregnancy was extremely LOW-risk!!!

I had DD 5 days before her due date!

These women tried to tell me that all babies are late for your first one...I was like WHATTTTTTTTTTT LOL

Nope!!!!
Jer was my 1st and I had him right before I hit 37 weeks. ;)
Thank God.. I was so swollen I couldn't move or feel my toes :mumble

Eian was born 10days BEFORE his due date!!

2 days before for us....

These women tried to tell me that all babies are late for your first one...I was like WHATTTTTTTTTTT LOL

Strange considering there are PREEMIES who are 1st borns to some...

Nope.

DD was born 1/17...yet she was due 2/3. Then again, I had pre-eclampsia - that'll do it!! :lol

Wow....wonder who that up that little not so factoid:tsktsk:giggle
Yea, my son was born 8 days before his due date and Miss Q was a few days past my EDD....she was my second

its more common for you to be late for your first than for subsequent ones, but definitely not enough 'fact' to be truth

Nope! My mum had my sister 2 weeks early!

All three of ours were late. :dunno

Not true.

Emily came on her own 2 weeks early :)

They say that it is normal to go overdue and common. But not always. I did go overdue with Ethan tho. He was born at 41 weeks and 4 days

Maybe they ment labor for your first is longer......

I've heard this too...maybe that's why I was in denial when I went in to labor at 36.5 weeks.

Zach was born ON his due date. And Nikolai was born about three weeks early.

Maybe they ment labor for your first is longer......

My Dr did tell me to expect to go overdue. He said alot of women do go overdue with their first. But obviously not always. The baby will come when ready...But it is more common to go overdue with your first.

Oh I know that, but it was just wierd that they told her always.....

well, it's not like it was a medical textbook telling her, it was some people having conversation... LOL

I went 47 weeks with my first. I was a tad bit late.

yea, but you were expecting it, though... cuz weren't you told gestation was generally 50 weeks with your first? :D

i think sometimes, "old hats" like to try to scare "new moms" with stories of painful, long labors and long pregnancies.

I was pton complete bedrest with Ethan at 22 weeks because I kept going into labor, his due date was May 29th, I was induced May 28th (my doctor was going out of town and wanted him delivered).

I had Gabby at 39 weeks

Those women are crazy. They don't know about every birth. My first was 7 wks early. My pregnancy was ok up until then.

my 1st came 4 days before his due date

DS was born 3 weeks BEFORE his due date! They told me the same thing, and so my mom and I figured on that. She came out when he was three weeks old.

:wowsers

50 weeks? Who the heck told her that!

I had both my kids early. Cory was 2 days early. I really felt like he was over due though. I think my due date was wrong. Lily was born 4 days early. I felt like she was early but the mid wife said she was over due.

My first DD was born 10 days before my EDD

My first was 5 weeks early

My first was 2 weeks early and my pregnancy was as normal as they come. My 2nd was right on his due date.

Dd was born at 39 weeks.

i had my first right on her due date!! my second was 2 days late and my third was 3 1/2 weeks early. so i think that is just a myth. the baby will come out when he/she is ready!!:hehe

Piper was born January 31. The due date was February 21. They had my due date wrong. The pediatrician when she was born told me she was righ on time.

I went 47 weeks with my first. I was a tad bit late.

47 weeks???????????????????? Your doctor let you go that long? :shock

My daughter was 3 days early.

Well you know what they say, each pregnancy is different but I was 42 weeks and 5 days when I had my daughter and those were the longest 2 and a half weeks of my life!

I agree with Bex...Everyone who talks to me about being pregnant are well well older than myself...I told them I am not carrying the baby longer than I have too LOL

I had DD 5 days before her due date!

LOL me too!

My due date was May 29 and I had DD on May 24th

No! That myth is not always true. I had Taylor 3 weeks early, AND my water broke. I heard that with your first baby your water usually doesn't break.

A baby will be born when the time is right... sometimes early, sometimes late and sometimes with a little help...

My son was born on his due date, but I ended up having an emergency c-section.

Blake was due 7/27 and was born 7/10.

i think people try to scare us new mommies. But I feel he'll come when he's ready to come. My mom let me know that I was 3 weeks LATE :lol I am guessing she was miserable since it was her first pregnancy and i didn't want to come out. :lol

No that's not true, but with me my daughter hung out in there a week after my edd and my water also broke with her.

UM NOPE! Both mine were born 5 Weeks before my due date.

I had Morissa ON my due date.

I was 43 weeks with my first one, but I had an a$$hole for a doctor who didn't want to induce until I finally threw a fit. The doctor that ended up doing my csection said he should of induced me weeks before that.

DD was born a whole 2 weeks before her EDD

That's just silly for someone to say- always.

My first was 4-1/2 weeks early without any warning whatsoever.

My son was born 14 days early :)

most of my first time mothers were early..

that your first child always is delivered well after your EDD
Nope, my first was born 3 weeks early. It was the other two who never wanted to make their debut.

My first child was 2 weeks early, my second was 3 weeks early.
