I went into labor at 38 weeks exactly. I was having contractions all day. Didnt think of it much really until my mucus plug came out. Thats when I knew I had to go to the hospital.

I went into labor at 39 weeks almost 40.
But I'm 18w with baby #2 and now I'm curious if it'll be earlier for me this time or about the same..

You could never tell because with my first I gave birth at 35 weeks and my daughter was measuring 37 weeks. It's when your body and your baby is ready.

Yes for first time mommies the most common is going past the due date. With my first I was 40 weeks and 5 days!
