Hey everyone! Just curious as to when your little guy or girl was born? Were they early, late, on time? How much did they weigh?

My monkey was born March 13th, was 4 1/2 weeks early and he weighed 5lbs 15 oz. My water broke at 1:40 am on the 13th and I was in active labor for 5 hours. He was born at 1:19 pm. He is doing great and is growing strong :)

Our daughter, Temperance, was due on December 29th of 2010. She decided to come December 10th. I didn't even know I was in labor, till my sister forced me to go to the hospital and get checked out. We all joked that she wanted to be here for Christmas. :)

I had contractions for about 3 weeks, went to the hospital i wasn't dialted so they sent me home. Finally after being on bed rest and having contractions every 5 minutes i went to the hospital where i was dialated 3 cm and they tried stopping my contractions which it didn't but they kept me on the drugs becuase my dialting slowed down and 3 days later i was dialted 5 cm and they took me off and my son was born 9 hours later on April 14 at 11:38 am, my water broke at 11 ish, i was in labor for over 96 hours and he was 5 weeks early.

My son was born on March 4, 2010 at 11:37 am. He was 3 days early although I started having contrations about a week and a half before he was due. I started having contractions...bad back labor...at 3:19 am. I got to the hospital at 5:15 am and was 6cm and 90% effaced. He was born at 7lbs 14 oz and 21 inches. He gave us a scare my entire labor...his heart rate kept dropping in the 90's. They comtemplated on a c-section but after they tried a couple of maneuvers to prevent a c-section, he was born vaginally. I pushed with every other contraction so it took an hour and 15 minutes to deliver him! Although he gave us a scare, I enjoyed my entire birthing experience! My doctors and nurses were all amazing during the whole experience! He is now 2 months old and is one healthy, happy baby boy!!!

my first son was born exactly one week late on feb 4th 2008, after 11 hours of pitocin the drs decided his head wasnt going to fit through my pelvis and they delivered him by csection at 528 pm. he was 8lbs 6 oz 20 1/2 in long

my second son was exactly 2 weeks early on feb 18th 2010, after i started having regular contractions around midnight the night before, when i was up to 6 an hour i called my dr who told me to head to l&d. they tried iv fluids to slow contractions but it only made them more regular and intense so they went ahead and delivered him at 548 exactly 2 yrs 2 wks and 20 min after his older brother. 8 lbs 5 oz 19in long

My son was due sometime during the first week of June ( between the 2nd-7th they kept changing my due date) and he was born on May 26. I went in to the doctor for my routine check up and u/s ( because he had dropped weight the last visit i had to have another u/s to make sure he was o.k.). Next thing I know Im in the labor/delivery room being induced because of the low amniotic fluid. They started inducing me at 10:00 a.m and I had him at 9:39 p.m weighing 5 lbs 7 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long!!

My daughter was born Feb 15/09, 8 days early which was good considering I was put on bedrest from end of Nov til Jan 26. My water broke in the middle of the night and when I woke I just thought I leaked a little. Was in denial for a while, went to visit my mom, we went shopping then at 3pm I decided to go to the hospital. They put me on the drip at 430pm first contraction at 530, pain killers from 930 to 1030 at 11pm it was time to push and at 1117 (same time I was born lol) I got to meet my baby girl!! 6lbs 0.1oz I love to tell that story lol
