My first came at almost 39 weeks. I'm pregnant with my second and pushing 39 weeks with no sign of him so we shall see!😌

but that's just what I've seen and heard from other pregnant women

I've heard the same thing. I've heard it's not uncommon for first-time moms to go completely up to the 40 weeks or sometimes even after. And then second time moms have heard that it's not uncommon for them to be giving birth around week 38 and 39 instead of like 40 41

Well My first my water leaked at 36 wks 6 days, amd had her exactly at 37 weeks. My second I had a irratable uterus at 34 weeks, and went into real labor at 35 weeks.
My third I started contracting at 37 weeks, and two days later I had him.
I am now 34 weeks 3 days, and all I have is bracton hicks. Also I feel like my pelvoc bone is getting ripped apart. 😑

First baby at 40 week, second baby at 39w5 days

@dreamie702, how much sooner?

true for me, had my first at exactly 41 weeks. had my second 39 weeks and 4 days.
