You're hoping your baby comes early so you don't have to share your birth month? Just checking to make sure I read this right. Mmmk.

drizzydrea

It was a joke got it Mmmk?

MoonUnitNugget

Wut? I don't think that you being selfish is a good enough reason to want your baby to come early.  

flas

Saying lol doesn't mean it's a joke mmmmk. Btw my second was a week overdue and my first was 3 days before my EDD so you might just have to suck it up and share your entire birth month with your bundle of joy.

This will go over well.

Eta: lol

Eta2: mmmmmkay

Well, this is not going to go over well. There's a reason 40 weeks is considered full term. Your baby will come when it's ready. There are women on this board who are dealing with premature babies in the NICU. Please don't wish that upon yourself or your baby.

Much prayers to them, I know a couple mom's who had there babies early one of em had twins a Month early and they were a healthy 6 pounds. Another she had to get induce a month early and her son was a 7 pounds. I've dealt with a premature baby and she was 2 days late. I guess it all varies.

Forgive my ignorance, but how can a baby born 2 days late be considered premature?

BowWowBowie

You should never hope for your child to come into the world before he/she is fully ready. 
You have no idea how incredibly frustrating it is to read this while there are moms like me praying their LO's can continue growing and hold on for another week. Joking or not, it's incredibly crass.

All forgiven. I'm not sure this was 5 years ago. All I know is she just wasn't latching on.. not eating as much. They just kept saying she was premature. She weighed 4 pounds but they let her come home.

This makes no sense, what so ever. My LO is due the week of thanksgiving, I want to enjoy thanksgiving, and I think it would be easier not to have his birthday in the middle of the holidays, so it would be more convenient if he came at 38 or 39 weeks. I would in no way wish my baby to come early. I would rather give birth on thanksgiving if it meant having a healthy term baby.

I can definitely say an early delivery is no joke. I have to have an early delivery as going full term is a HUGE risk to my baby's life as well as mine. I think you should rethink your "humor" OP because you are certainly not funny.

Does anyone have a moon moon gif or a special snowflake gif? I can't get my phone to gif

Awww sorry you feel that way.

I also fine this comment extremely crass, as I could be induced any day. My blood pressure is incredibly high and have been on bedrest for it. I had to be induced last time for preeclampsia at 37 weeks and I don't think il even make it that long with this one.

Although, I understand you were trying to make a joke. There are mothers on here that have gone into early labor and there babies are having a stay in the NICU. Please don't wish this upon yourself because you don't want to "share your birthday month!" Seems rather alarming you would even make such a "joke" like this on this board. Rethink your posts mmmkkay!

Jokes, by definition, are funny. So no, I don't get it.

helsbels222

Early delivery is no laughing matter. I've been getting painful injections since week 18 to be sure this baby stays put. Those injections are not funny mmmmkay?

Maybe you should have thought of this back in February. No one finds this funny. Grow up. Got it? Mmmmmkay.

Gapeach83

FALSE! DD1 5 days early and DD2 1 week late. Both deliveries from time to hospital to baby where less than 8 hrs.
ETA I share a birth month with DD2 never thought it as bad. I don't need a whole month to myself. I would be skrewed on that if I did because of Christmas. I know two sibling sets that share same day (Years apart). Your baby will come when it's ready.

So rude. I guess you haven't seen that @JLW0504 has been struggling with a huge preterm labor issue and has barely been able to see her other daughter because of it.

Ceridwen77

OP edited her original post to add the "jk". You can see in my initial quote that it was not there to begin with.

apritch88

I don't think the OP had any intentions of inferring the baby would be coming before it was ready. While perhaps not the most tactful in her wording, and certainly not in her responses, I think there is a legitimate question if you read between the lines.

FWIW- I talked with a NICU nurse about this on Saturday, as I too would be 100% on board if baby decided to make her debut a few days early- and she quickly squashed my fantasies and said it's completely untrue.

This must be MUD. Your baby is not considered premature if born after your EDD or not latching. Take it from someone whose DS fell into both of those buckets. The rest of your post is just absurd.

How do you not know? 5 years is not that long ago, certainly not long enough to forget if your child was premature or not. The docotors would not have let her leave had she not hit the necessary milestones including feeding.

1. A baby CAN in fact be premature even if he/she is born on/after their due date. Like stated thousands of times on TB, due dates are just an estimate. When a baby is born you can tell by how much the baby is developed whether or not the due date was accurate. They gave my mom an emergency c-section at 36 weeks (as soon as they considered "safe") only to later realize that my sister was 6+ weeks premature, not 4 as they initially thought.

2. I had DD at 38 weeks and asked my doctor if that means I will have DD2 early and she said "it's very likely". OBVIOUSLY there is no science behind this as it varies from woman to woman. She simply based her answer from what she has witnessed herself.

dmiller1213

Shout out to @Ceridwen77 for quoting the OP and not the "joke" version.

To the poster: Peoples babies are fighting for their lives in the NICU because they were born early. And you WANT your baby to come early so you don't have to share your birth month? You are in fact ridiculous. And I hope your baby comes whenever it's due so you have to share your birth month. That is all.

Edited bc that's not it. You are an adult, whether you act like it or not, that's debatable. That being said, why do you need a "birth month?" I thought people stopped needing a whole month when they were like 15?

tayzav

I spent six hours in L&D yesterday trying to stop pre term contractions. I couldn't imagine being there any longer than that. And there are so many ladies in far worse situations or that have already delivered their LO's early, I do not find anything about your post "funny," more just ignorant.

Cook3133

I was told 37 weeks is considered full term, babies tend to be a lot healthier and not need any interventions at this time. Which is why it is "safe" to deliver at 37 weeks.

The myth is that the labor will get faster, in my case it was true. As far as when they came that's a no, had a friend deliver her first 3 1-2 weeks earlier and 4th was a week late.

Nice job missing my point. This is obviously MUD. I was commenting on the OP's statement that she had a baby 2 days late and the baby was premature. Premature is the term used to describe a baby born 3 weeks before the EDD and is not indicative of fetal development. I'm not commenting on development of the baby which is easier to note after the baby is born. You realize the difference, correct?

I actually share a birthday with my oldest daughter. Yes, I say all the time I don't have a birthday anymore lol but a healthy happy baby was the best gift ever.

She probably hasn't since I've never seen her on here before.

I wish I could share my birthday month with LO! Gives me an excuse to eat cake and ice cream on "my" birthday

nmwheel1

And this is why I hate most people....

To all the awesome ladies trying to keep your baby cooking longer, you are my hero's! To the mom's who already had their babies, you are stronger than super hero's! And if you were closer I'd totally share a piece of my spiced pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing that I just made! But not you OP, no cake for you.

knolliepollie

Wow... Our baby is due 3 days before Thanksgiving. And she's welcome to come out anytime she's ready! I agree this "joke" is not funny and quite insensitive as well.
