Any Moms out there go into labor with their first baby earlier than the 40 week mark?

Question

So I'm a FTM, and hear it's more common for the first baby to come later rather than sooner, and for the first labor to last longer. But I'm wondering if anyone had their first baby earlier than that? If so, we're there any signs in the weeks leading up to your labor?

Answer

My first was born at 37 weeks 3 days. My water broke at 5:30am and I gave birth at 10:51am :) I had a very easy labor and delivery!

Answer

My oldest was born 1 week early. 2hour labor, pushed for 15mins.

Answer

Both my kids were born exactly on their due dates

Answer

Yes, 38w2d. My labor was under 6 hours from the time my water broke until delivery or under 5 from when contractions started.

The week before I started having 2BMs a day - during my whole pregnancy I was lucky if I went once a day so I had a feeling something was up.

My former coworker is a first time mom, her baby boy came two weeks early; my sister in law's friend's baby boy also came early!

Answer

My oldest and youngest were 38 weeks and my middle was 39 and a couple days. My oldest was 6hr labor and my other two were both 4 hours. 3 pushes for two and my last was 1 push. Very lucky in all my labora and deliveries.

Answer

Nope, mine was 6 days late and labor was 24 hours long. I however was the first born and I came 3 weeks early. My mom just didn't feel well the day prior.
