How many women out there went overdue with their FIRST pregnancy?

It IS common for most pregnant women to go overdue with their first baby. I just had my first baby and I was late. I asked my dr to induce me when I was 41 weeks. If you can, hold out for natural labor to occur cause being induced makes your contractions SO much harder!!! I was in labor for 21 hours of some rough contractions! She was worth all of the pain but i'd hold out for natural. Don't be in too much of a hurry and sleep as much as you can until your baby comes. Wait, you were 39 weeks 3 weeks ago? You must've had your baby by now! I hope your labor was easy.

Not me. I had my first at 37 weeks. I'm now past 37 weeks with my second and this one doesn't seem to coming out anytime now. I'm tired of waiting. My son's 6 now and he's just waiting to see the baby. Lucky for me the first was pretty easy and I was in labour only for 2 hours and everything was quick. I hope this one is the same and doesn't give me too much trouble.

Yes it it common for women to be overdue with theis first pregnancy. According to old wives tales, it will be a girl. Hope you had a safe and easy delivery.

with my baby i was 2 weeks overdue.

I haven't been pregnant but I just wanted to find out if it is common. Because I sure want a baby along the way.

I was overdue with my first child (one week)and had to be induced. I was told by my doctor that it is almost expected that first pregnancies are overdue. I was also told that babies are not an exact science and most doctors predictions are off by a week or even 2. Unless you know exactly the date you got pregnant. Congrats I hope all goes well.

My mom has had 5 children and I was the last one to come out! The 1st two were a month early, the 2nd two were a week early, and I was a day late, imagine that!~

Well I've never been pregnant but I can tell you that both of my sisters were overdo, one was a week overdue and the other almost a week and a half.

Congrats on the beautiful baby! I've heard that most women go over their due dates. Myself, my first son was delivered on his due date and my second son one day prior to his due date.

It is common to ve overdue for women I had my daughter at 32 weeks because of complications.

I was due on the 29th Dec 2002, my son was born on the 4th Jan 2003, I went a little overdue. All the best on becoming a mum!!

I was 41 weeks and 3 days over due. The dr. had scheduled me for an induction, and 3 days prior to that, I had gone into labor on my own.
