Did your first baby come at week 37? Stories....

Question

Hey guys just wondering if anyone’s first baby came at week 37? And any symptoms leading up to the day of delivery??? 
I’ve had multiple dreams my boy is here at 37 weeks and hoping that will come true! Feeling more anxious as each day passes. I am currently 34+1.  The only thing that’s happened to me is leaking colostrum and nothing else! He may have dropped slightly from what I can see.

Answer

My son came at 37w6d, had been losing little bits of mucus plug the week prior and was so excited but my midwife said the mucus plug regenerates itself yada yada don’t get your hopes up, so I thought oh okay whatever then, come Sunday (also Mother’s Day) my partner and I were sitting on the outside furniture about 2:30pm and I felt all this water leaking out of me but it wasn’t a huge gush so I thought “hmm maybe it’s my waters breaking but I’m not sure” then i continued to leak for the next hour and text my midwife and she said it definitely sounds like your waters and told me that if there isn’t a baby by tomorrow morning we will induce you, since I wasn’t having contractions or in any pain whatsoever I thought I’ll most likely have to be induced. 6pm comes around my partner decides to take a nap in case we need to rush off in the middle of the night, so I’m just chilling packing my hospital bag (for the third time) and then I feel like I need to poo all of a sudden, I sit on the toilet and do my business and then go back to packing my bag, I feel the urge to poo again and think hm that’s odd but go back to the toilet but this time I sit down and start getting the most intense pain I’ve ever felt, a contraction! Which lasted 1minute then it stops 30 seconds later another which last 1 minute, I’m thinking to myself this can’t be a contraction they aren’t suppose to start this painful and last this long! So I call my midwife on the toilet and she says okay I’ll be okay in 15 to check on you, I hang up and call my mum to tell her what’s going on then the contractions stay longer and longer, i get to the side of our bed and start throwing anything I can find to wake my partner up, by this point I’m on the ground kneeling in so much pain my partner wakes up and sees me and immediately calls my midwife, he tells her “nope you aren’t coming here, we will meet you at the hospital” 15 minutes later we arrive, they aren’t ready for me they have nothing prepared so I kneel down onto a chair then get on the bed when it was ready, I got the hospital around 6:30 start pushing at 7 and have my son at 9:05pm on Mother’s Day! Weighing 8pound 5 ounces.

Answer

My first came at 37+5. She came quick too! 5 hour labor with less than 5 minutes pushing ! ♥️ Hoping my second is just as good to me !

Answer

My first came at 40+3, but I read it’s actually uncommon these days to make it to your due date. My OB at the time kept telling me that a lot of women give birth at 37 weeks and to plan for it just in case.

Answer

I had my first daughter at 37 weeks went to the hospital for my typical non stress test and the monitor showed I was having contractions they checked me I was 1cm I felt pretty normal wasn’t even feeling pain

Answer

I had my first at 36weeks. I felt super sick my entire pregnancy and had Braxton Hicks since early on in my pregnancy. The only change I had was 5 days before I dropped and felt amazing! No pain or discomfort and no Braxton Hicks. Then all of a sudden one night going to bed my water broke. I wasn’t really contracting so started on pitocin and 15 hrs later our baby girl was born.

Answer

No 40+5
