The pregnancy almost ended in a miscarriage, but in the end I was 9 days late. Would have been more, but they induced labor (is that what they call it?) on purpose.

They did not induce labor for me, but I was pulled out with forceps...oh yeah..and even though i was a month late, I weighed only 5 lbs...close to the size of a preemie.

I was almost born sometime in mid-October, but I ended up being born on my birthday like I should've been, December 28th.

I saw my first baby today. Not my baby as in 'mine' but as in 'first baby I have ever seen in my life!'

Babies are so cute. I never knew that they could be. Awesome topic now!

I have... like, atypical AS... (or maybe my ASD is original Asperger's AS? I give up on this, hehe.)

and I was born after 39 weeks. That's perfectly on time I think?

I was born 32 days late, and apparently they tried inducing twice but with no effect.

I was born roughly on time (well, a couple of days late, so I said late in the poll), but by C-section. Wouldn't go on my own.

8 days late unfortunately. Otherwise I would have had the cool birth date - 7/7/77

My daughter, 15 years old now and i suspect has AS was born 2 days late and after a long labour, she actually died during a forceps delivery. She was a dark purple when i saw her and a few mins later she was a lovely pink colour! What a way to make an entrance

one month late? is this possible!?!?!? 32 days?!? maybe it's because the date was badly calculated? a 10 month pregnancy?!? I didn't know it could exist.

me, I was born 6 or 7 days late.
