Late May Due Dates

Pascal86

Anyone else feeling a little behind with all these late April births/early May due dates? I thought it might be nice to have a thread going for those of us due much later in May to complain about how far behind everyone else we are or chat about things that everyone else was discussing a month ago when we couldn't relate. Crazy how different things are for people 3-4 weeks behind, especially at the end of the pregnancy!

My DD is May 27th but I'm convinced I'll be at least a week late, pushing me into June. Every time I read the board I start getting in the mindset that I'm like 38 weeks, since everyone is on labor symptom watch... until I remember I still have like 4-5 weeks to go. My vagina feels like it's falling apart already, but almost no contractions or mucus plugs to speak of yet!!

I have a June 4th due date (I thought it was May 24 based on LMP and joined this group early on), so yeah I definitely feel behind. I haven't even gotten to the "so done with being pregnant" point yet. 

As far as labor signs.. I've had just a few BH contractions, and will randomly get mild cramping in my lower belly.

May 23 but I'm sure I'll be a week over due and then induced like normal. Nothing really screaming labor signs for me sadly.

May 27th, here. My Sicilian second sight has been telling me since early on that I would have a 38 week-er, but there's no real reason to think that. Just my theory. I've had some BH, some mucous, but not a whole plug and some crazy lightening crotch.

May 29th... I'm not necessarily over being pregnant, but I am definitely over working while pregnant.  Sadly I will be going until the end out of monetary / leave necessity (unless the doctors order otherwise, of course).

May 26 here and nothing but BH and swelling. My OB does RCS's on Wednesdays so I have to decide between 5/25 or 6/1. I'm leaning toward 6/1, almost 41 weeks, so I have more time to try for a VBAC.

One way to look at it if you're working is a lot of the mom's that have already had their babies will be going back to work sooner, and we will get to enjoy maternity leave later... Not much of a silver lining but it's something.

I'm due May 30th so with ya! reading other posts makes me think I should be having similar symptoms and feelings but i'm not quite there yet.... just a few BH here and there. It makes me want this little babe faster but I actually don't, baby needs to stay in and cook for as long as she needs it!

JennyS86

I'm due May 28th - 36weeks tomorrow!  For several months, when people bring up various signs/symptoms, I think, "hmmmm, I haven't had that yet."  But without fail, the next day/week I feel the same way...lightning crotch, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, back pain, swelling, etc.  Next, I'm wondering when I will lose my mucus plug!

thismakes4

@girlaskew My married last name is Sicilian. Fx for your theory! Seriously, some women just have that sense. I'm not one of them unfortunately.

@sillyfox my bday is 6/1... but I'm a selfish brat so I'm hoping little man will come no later than 5/30 or 5/31.

I'm due May 22nd and I soooo hear you on working while pregnant. They're not giving me much work to do at this point, so it's both uncomfortable AND boring.

NinnyJean

I'm due May 29, although my doctor is seriously considering inducing in like a week and a half due to high blood pressure. But when reading the other threads feel the same way, read everyone's else's symptoms and think I must have skipped over that until it hits me about two weeks later 

NB817

I'm due May 28th but have my RCS May 23rd. I'm just praying that I do NOT go early!! My DDs first dance recital is May 22nd and if I miss it because of the birth of her brother she'll be pretty upset and that's not how I want to start that sibling relationship! 

If if you want to really talk about feeling behind...my sprinkle is tomorrow (4/30)! 

mrstmoose

I'm due on May 27! I think I will be a little early, but she will come when she comes!

lionstigersbears

I'm due May 27 and am prepared for a June baby since DS came at 40w6d. We shall see! The first time around I lost my mucus plug a week before birth and had on and off contractions for weeks (timeable and all) that would always fade away, so I've been through all of the pre-labor mind games. Almost hoping to NOT have any symptoms of impending labor until it's show time....it was annoying!!

itsbrookejones

May 30th for me! Lost mucus plug, contractions off and on, and lightning crotch. I have no idea if I'm dilated at all though. I wish my Dr. would tell me these things! 

TinaTho

May 31st here... Scheduled for cs 5/25 as she's breech but there is still time. Have the fun opportunity next week of discussing a possible version.

Just getting to the point where I'm feeling done with being pregnant. Tired of being sore and now always having to pee everytime I stand up. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to keep her in for as long as possible - but I look forward to the next step and not having it all looming over me. 

Also, I can't wait to get all of my tasks done. This will be a big weekend for nursery set up and bottle sterilizing.

bananna4

My official due date is June 3rd but RCS is scheduled for May 27th.  Not feeling any real labor symptoms yet, but starting to get pretty uncomfortable with how big my belly is getting this time around - hard to believe that I still have as many as 4 weeks left!

Victoria52516

FTM May 25ish !! I hear ya on the late shower I just had mine last Sunday! So worth the wait, it was great, but torture seeing all the early moms posting a month ago! Plus we are buying a house hopefully closing before she comes so I guess its good I didnt get all the cute stuff early and have to wait even longer to set up. Its KILLING me to not open everything and check it out but it will be so much easier to move all boxed up. 

Deffinatly done being pregnant and working just this past week and a half the not being able to get comfy and sleep hit me. I feel bad for my SO I flop sides like every 1-2hrs and he usually wakes up no matter how slow I try. Plus people at work are just doing stupid things/mistakes and its not the hormones I swear lol. Plus the swollen vag just started a few days ago so the office chairs are now extra uncomfortable :P 

It is kind of nice though hearing all their symptoms ahead of time so when they happen I just like ok great(insert sarcasm)  Im at that point now instead of questioning if I should be swelling down there lol

kami09

I'm here! I'm here! May 31st...although I was just about 2 weeks late with DS so I'm not getting my hopes up for anything.


@bshurdy I saw your hdbd & was wondering about the date! lol Anytime I see someone isn't as far along as me, I'm like waaaiiit a minute, then they aren't May! lol-- I also thought I should've had an early EDD, but it may be a blessing in disguise if you go over and they start talking induction. Gives you a little extra wiggle room.

VS2016

May 28th here! 36 weeks tomorrow and first cervical check on Monday!   I'm hoping to see some dilation for a ray of hope that I am headed towards meeting my baby!  With my first I wasn't dilated until 38 or 39 weeks 

Delitachan

May 26th here, but I lost the mucus plug already so it's not likely going to be that date. Probably earlier.

Bellodomani

I'm technically due right in the middle of May (16th) but my son was 2 weeks late, plus all of my mom's and sisters' babies have been 2 weeks late so in my head I was adjusting her arrival til the very end of May... So imagine my surprise when last week I had a complication diagnosed and my midwife wants to induce at 38 weeks, which is this Monday!! I'm 100% unprepared and worked up til today so it looks like I'll have about 2 days to get everything done for baby. I figure I just need to pack a hospital bag, buy some diapers and a few newborn outfits, and the rest will fall into place. 

nasalot188

May 25th here!! I definitely feel behind reading the symptoms thread, but it's also nice to have an idea of what's coming! FTM and many women in my family have gone late so part of me thinks this may just be a June baby! No real symptoms yet. I haven't had any Braxton hicks that I can feel anyways. Just some period cramping on and off and lightening crotch! 

valerie4786

I'm also May 28th!  I don't even follow the 3rd Tri/Impending labor symptoms thread anymore (I'm like 400 posts behind) because I'm so far away from that.  I'm convinced I'll go into June.  I'll be working up until this baby comes, which I can deal with for now at least.  However, by the end of the day (usually because I'm trying to get a lot of stuff done after work at home) my feet are swollen and so sore and my back hurts.  So I'm definitely approaching the "I'm so done being pregnant" feeling.

We went bulk shopping tonight so this weekend I'll be doing freezer meals and I'm pretty sure we won't need toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies/laundry detergent, some hygiene items, bottled water/gatorade, and some basic snacks for a few months.  My goal for about two-three months now has been to finish all of my major baby to do's by May so I can just relax at home after work & on the weekends until baby comes.

FTM and due May 26! I'm obsessed with looking at the birth announcment thread lol ! Crazy to think our little ones will be here in just a few weeks!

I'm just starting my weekly Doctor appointments so that's exciting BH haven't been very consistent, some lightning crotch, swelling just started a week ago for me - but has not subsided! My feet are so bad they are starting to feel sore, I've been icing them and putting them up daily! (I asked my Dr. About them today during my appointment and luckily BP is fine so no worry of preclamlsia or anything! ) haha honestly I feel like I have so much discharge I'm not sure if I've seen a mucus plug or not?! I keep looking though lol 

People call me crazy, but I'm gonna miss my bump! So I'm trying to just really enjoy these last few weeks - this weekend I'm determined to get our bags packed just so I can be done and not worry about it! I watched "The Business of being born" and "More business of being born" tonight on Netflix - I'm no granola and I'm plan to be in a hospital but it was a good watch, very informational and encouraging! Can't wait to see you all on the birth announcment thread in a few weeks - they say the best are last!

Count me in for late May. I'm due 5/25, but this is my second pregnancy and I have a hunch that I'll deliver earlier than that or it could just be that I'm kind of tired of being pregnant..

I'm due May 24th and this is exactly what I've been saying!  When I first got pregnant I was like, "this kid won't be here until the beginning of June" but the last month or so I've been so sure he will be early...probably more wishful thinking than intuition though 

My mom gets here from Seattle (where I grew up) the day before my due date so I would be ok with him waiting until then.  We moved to CT about a year and a half ago for my husband's job and don't have any family or close friends to help out so it will be nice to have my mom here at the beginning.  So soon!!

2.red.heads

Hang in there ladies! A few weeks is a huge dif! With my first I was due late May and was finally induced at 42 weeks (born June 7th). I always told myself I would be late so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

jageller

I'm May 23. At my 36-week appt, the OB predicted I'll be at or beyond EDD, so looks like I'm in it for the long haul! Which I guess is good, seeing as I have almost nothing done, but sometimes at work I wish that my labor would start so I can stop pretending to care! 

mmemartinez

May 26th here too! There's a lot of us I'm hoping to make since it is the day after school ends...however I'm also cool with going sooner! In fact I was just telling my husband how it is more financially beneficial if the baby comes early because each day at the end of this year is worth less $ then the days I plan to take at the start of the next school year. Plus I'm just beat and managing 114 14-16 year olds each day is just too much. DS was early so I'm really hoping this guy will be too! Having a lot of BH, lightening crotch, peeing all the time, heartburn....I think 38 weeks would be perfect right now. Maybe 39

Norway23

Due May 29th! Doctor said he wouldn't be surprised if I go into labor today, and wouldn't be surprised if I go another 4 weeks. Yay waiting

I love looking at the announcements too! It is so exciting and I love reading about how their delivery went and how much the baby weighs and the name. I just love it all! 

Really loving this thread!! Like the rest of you I feel like every time I am able to contribute to a thread there is about 300 comments and it is so old news. Haha!

I'm due May 25th and I have to admit, I get a wee bit of envious of the folks having their babies now. Even though we currently have a collection of boxes where the nursery will be full of baby stuff, I'm really physically drained already. Last night I was in Labor and Delivery due to quiet baby and  some bad cramping which turned out to be low level contractions.... that's the second time that has happened to me. I have bad anxiety and I feel like there's only so much more of this uncertainty I can take.... 

I have the lightening crotch, heartburn, BH pretty much anytime I try to do anything physical, leg/hip/foot pain and occasional nausea and headaches. I am mostly able to sleep through the night with the help of Unisom though. 

If I could stop working and watch netflix, maybe I'd be better....

tanja1305

I'm due May 25 and ready to stop working too...not happening until I go into labor though. Sigh

I thought I was all alone. Due May 27th! My next apt is friday and should be my first cervical check. We will see hiw things are looking then. Ready to meet my little girl!

linabparis

I'm due June 4th but am convinced she'll come soon. Plus i've been monitored weekly since 28w due to GD & now they've added low weight for gestational age. As of 34w my cervix is soft and I'm 3cm dialated. She's high & breech right now so anything's possible (am 35w3d).

avidkeo

Due the 29th too... Sigh. My first was late, delivered at 41.2 by emergency csect with no signs of anything happening at all. Never got contractions, never dilated at all, or effaced. So I'm predicting a June baby for us. Induction booked for 6 June if nothing by then. 

saltedcaramel518

Our friends are having a casual cookout/shower for us on the 13th.. I'll be 37 weeks! Hoping it doesn't turn into a meet the baby party instead. 

starrynite96

May 25 here, but I'm feeling mighty done at this point.  This is my 2nd and I'm already 1cm dilated.  I sat between 2 and 3cm with my first for about 2 weeks and DD at 39 weeks.  My doc doesn't seem to think I'll make it to my date,but maybe a couple of weeks.  We'll see how it goes..DS will make his arrival when he feels like it.
