37 weeks! 2 weeks and 5 Days left 😍 the excitement is mounting!!! Were you first time Moms late or early???

I had my first daughter 5 weeks early due to preeclampsia

I had her on her due date

I was like 10 days late.

@district1988 my first was tough but my second was a breeze lol my sister only has one son and he was pretty easy

@clara_eakin, like how early?? I have 2 weeks and 5 Days left and I’m still working. A group of ladies told me it’s best to take off a little before to mentally prepare and rest. Did you take off early?

Early

@hazelnautumnsmomma125, that’s amazing! You did a wonderful job! I’m so nervous. And I agree! Thanks for helping I’m new and don’t know the perils of how tough it’s going to be.

I'd take off at least a week before. And I didn't know until that morning when I started cramping (contractions) and they got worse. I went to L&D and they said I was 1cm and sent me home. Two hours later it was so bad I went back to L&D and I was 4cm so they admitted me at 2pm and I had her at 9:49pm

@hazelnautumnsmomma125, how did you know when it was coming??? I want to work up until but friends have told me to take off the week of to allow myself time to mentally prepare and rest for the stress ahead. What do you suggest?

Early. By two weeks
