Anyone naturally give birth around 38 weeks?

Question

Without having to get induced is what I mean by naturally! What was your progress? Were you dilated and did you have any labor symptoms? 
Wondering because I’m one cm and 38+2, just want to see anyone else’s experience!

Answer

My water broke at 36 weeks and I gave birth naturally. So yes I’m sure a lot of women give birth around that time as well. Everyone’s labor experience is different though. We all go through different things. We can go through similarities but every woman experiences everything different. Good luck and I hope you have an easy fast labor.

Answer

I was 1cm and my cervix was very thin Friday when I had my appt.  sat at 3am I woke up feeling off.  paced the house I wasn't really hurting just uncomfortable. I felt like I had to take a poop. I tried to take a bath and as soon as I sat down I had to stand right back up. this went on from 3a to bout 6a. I finally woke my husband up and told me I'm pretty sure I needed to go to the hospital.  got to l&d; and when she checked me I was shocked! I was already 8cm dilated.  my water never broke they had to break it when I was 9.5.  good luck.

Answer

At 38+1, I had a membrane sweep done. 
Next day, I woke up in early labor around 4am. 
Got to the first hospital around 6am (they don’t deliver), but they were able to check me & confirm I was dilating. I was 3-4 cm & 70% effaced. 
Got to the other hospital & checked in at around 8am. 
Made it to 7cm dilated before I got the epidural around noon-ish.
About two hours later I had my sweet baby boy at 2:59pm. :)

Answer

I was 38 weeks with my son when my water broke on its own. Unfortunately because the hospital was an hour away, I labored for the most part in the ambulance. By the time I reached the hospital, the doctor said it was too late for me to get an epidural because I was too far along. So I had him naturally weighing 8 1/2 lbs.

Answer

I was 38+2 
I felt nauseous a few days prior and had a feeling my whole pregnancy that he wouldn’t make it to 40w
My labor was 36 hours long because my body kept stalling - first at 2cm 50%, then at 3cm 80%. 
I tried to deliver naturally and finally gave out at 32 hours. I was just too exhausted and in too much pain to do it anymore. They checked me one last time and I was 6cm, 90%. I got an epidural and went from 6-10cm and 90-100% in 2 hours flat. I took a nap for an hour and then pushed for 30-45 minutes. 
All my body needed was the pain relief to kick into gear 😅

Answer

I had my son at 38 weeks I was already a 7 by the time I went into the hospital ( luckily my contractions weren't bad. I had been progressively dilating centimeters naturally between weekly checks ! hope this helps :)
