Did your baby come on time?

My dayghter Darcy was born on her due date, April fools day! She was born before midday which makes her a real april fool, which her daddy thinks is great. I was expecting her to be late, as I was under the impression first babys are never born on time. Imagine my shock when my waters broke just as I was off to bed at 10:30 the night before she finally emerged.

Sophia Nadine was due on 28 March 2009. I went into labour with her at midnight on 28th and she was born at 6.20am on the morning of the 29th. Everything throughout the pregnancy was bang on. So I was only a few hours short!!
Jack Aidan was due on 28 January 2009. My waters broke at 5.11pm on 17th and he was born at 6.26pm on the evening of the 18th. So he was 10 days early!!

My second baby (a son) was due on 6th August this year and right on cue out he came at 9:35 in the morning after a 6 hour labour! We were really pleased and the midwife told us that only 2% of babies are actually born on their due date. My daughter who is now 2 was 6 days early.

My son was born at 27weeks gestation. He was 13wks early weighing just 2lbs. My waters broke when i was 24wks but i managed to extend it up to 27wks. I remember the very first time i laid eyes on my baby he was on an incubator and his skin was so papery and thin that you could see all his veins and even his heart beating underneath. After 13 long weeks in hospital, my baby's battle was won and he came home just on his due date. He weighed 6lbs 14oz. It's a nice feeling that he is home finally..i'm just so relieved to see him everyday.:-)

My first daughter (Evie) was due on the 25th May 08 and she was born a day late (26th). When i got pregnant again we couldn't work out how far along i was so had to wait for the dating scan, to me and my partners (and all the families) surprise our 2nd child was due on the 26th May09!!!!. Isabel came 3days late. I think if it had been any longer I wouldn't have coped. Being heavily pregnant with a nearly 1year old was quite difficult. Now Isabel's finally here its much easier but i am very busy!!!

My son did not come anywhere near on time he was 14 days overdue and I spent five days in hospital being induced, he was a big baby and I had a lot of fluid, not bad for my first one I guess
