I was 2 cm dilated from about 37 weeks. I was induced on my due date. Labor itself was only from 7:30 to midnight and was not bad once I got the epidural. My little girl was face up and not face down so she got hung up on my pubic bone which made pushing long and hard. That is not normal and I am hoping that this baby is face down!

I was induced at 39 weeks. Pitocin started at 2 am and my daughter was born at 754 am (with an hour of pushing). She weighed 6lbs 4 oz and was 20 inches long! I had a super quick and easy labor and am hoping for something similar this time around also!

I went into labor at 38 weeks and was dilating, but didn't progress until 39 weeks and 5 days. Labored 4 and a half hours and then pushed for and hour and out came my 21" 8 pound 2 ounce boy.

I'm not yet in labor but have been having pre-term contractions since 31weeks. On a good day they are every 5 minutes and only midly painful. On most other days they are either every 3min or every 1 min and are breathtakingly painful.

Really holding out hope that this just makes labor a breeze when the time comes! And also hoping that weeks of bed rest makes the time come nearer to full-term!!

There is no way to predict how/when yours will arrive!!
