Predictions: early, late or on due date?

jmama1611

This is just for fun.

Curious if the other moms think their babies will arrive early, late or on their due date?

I'm assuming I'll be late because I was late with my first.

Early due to scheduled section. If he magically flips before his date I would assume late!

I was late with my first 2(40w 5d, then 40w 6d), so I'm assuming the same will be true with this one.

Hoping early. For the sake of not being in the hospital on Thanksgiving. My due date is 3 days after. Plus it would give DH a substantial amount of time at home with us since he only technically has a week of his vacation time left to use.

It seems like all of the FTMs I know IRL have gone late so that is my assumption here.  The Dr. said they will only let me go one week late which would be Black Friday, so i wonder if they would induce earlier than that to avoid thanksgiving? idk 

PrettyPalomino

I'm assuming late, because that seems to be the trend with FTMs (it's statistically a lot more likely... I forget where I read that) but I'm hoping early so that we can *maybe* be a little less like zombies for Christmas holidays with the family!

I had a really really strong feeling this morning that I can't explain. I think I'm going to go early by just about a week. I'm due Nov 2nd and this morning I just got this really strong feeling Oct 25th is the day. I'm not holding my breath on this but just thought it was strange.

It's not weird at all @tigerfish227. I had the same feeling with DD and sure enough had her the week early that I thought I would (39 weeks). Similar to that I'm feeling an 11/11 baby this time despite my 11/18 due date, but it's up to him!

LadyBugMe101

I predict about a week early from my due date of 11/26. DH and I have a bet going, he thinks I'll be late but I have a gut feeling I'll be early by a bit. All I really want is to meet baby but on his terms and of course to eat a thanksgiving meal :-)

I do not know why but I believe that I will have the baby 1-2 weeks early. I just do not want to be overdue, I need to go back to work at February and I would love to spend more time with our baby girl at home.

I think early. Due Nov.18 but been on bedrest for a short cervix since July. My Dr. says I can stop taking my progesterone at 35 weeks, so well see how long the lil guy decides to stay cooking after I stop them. 

Muscatmommyof4

I believe I will be early I have never made it to my due date so I don't anticipate it this time either. DH thinks he will come on the 21st and I think the 17th of this month my due date is 11/6. I'm already dilated and extremely tired so I don't think it will be much longer I just need him to make it to 37w. 

arcticseal-2

My first was about a week late and my second was a week early (but they stripped my membranes).   I'm thinking this kid just to be different will be on time!

I was induced on my EDD for medical reasons with DS, so I don't have a basis for judgement really. With that said, I've had a feeling with this one I'll go a few days early. I'm due 11/27. Would love to have baby around Thanksgiving. The Tuesday/Wednesday before TGing would be great. But...baby will come when he/she comes. 
Somewhat selfishly, if it's a girl, I'd like her to come before Black Friday so I can stock up on online sales!

@tigerfish227 I had a dream I was going to have my LO either the 25 or 29 of October. I'm due November 10, but my whole family has gone early every baby, never had a late one so I'll be shocked if I don't deliver early as well. 

OlgaN15

I was convinced I'd go late with my first, and he came 2 weeks early. So, now I'm preparing myself for early. It really depends on the day whether I think I'll go early or not though. When I'm feeling great, I think he/she will stick around a while. But, when I'm feeling super uncomfortable I think he/she will come early. 

hollowway

Not sure. DD was born on her due date... But DS is measuring in the 94% (I'm 34&2 today and he was measuring 38&6 today), so he'll either be a csection baby or will hopefully come early on his own. The thought of vaginally delivering him if he gets much bigger, terrifies me (his head is measuring 39&4). They estimate him to be 7lb1oz and DD was 7lb5oz when she was born.

yosemite2018

Both of our moms delivered both kids early so I think early. Also I was pushed back 11 days in the beginning from when I thought I ovulated (I was tracking) then have consistently measured ahead. I'm due Nov. 30 so my doc thinks it'll be a November birthday. I'm really aiming for the 21st but as long as she and I are healthy it doesn't really matter to me.

whaat

I don't have any "feelings" but I'll say "late" just because most ftm's in my situation (everything normal) deliver around 41 weeks. Also a nosey massage therapist who says she's a psychic told me I'd be induced on the 11th (due date nov 2) and now I can't get nov 11 out of my head.

I'm due 11/26 but my husbands birthday is on Thanksgiving this year! So I bet with my luck we will be celebrating 2 birthday's and Turkey day in the hospital...

TrulyBlessed22

With my 1st I had a strong feeling she'd be early and everyone told me I was crazy since it was my first but I just had a feeling and turns out I was right, she arrived at 38 weeks.  Very healthy thanks be to God.

With this one I have the same feeling and I can't shake thinking 37/38 weeks this time around.  I guess only time will tell but I will say that I was recently hospitalized for pretty consistent contractions (5-6 min apart) and that was at 33 weeks.  Thankfully they went away after a day and I wasn't dilated or open so that was a good thing.  Just hoping he stays in till at least 36 at this point but the good thing his weight check at the hospital was great for 33 weeks and so were all his organ sizes etc so that made me feel better. 

brownylover

I wouldn't mind to have her a bit early. My dad and cousin (soon to be godmother) are hoping on their birthday (Nov.3rd) but she is due Nov. 13th. Not to mention cause I'm super excited and want to hold her already.. But I'm thinking since this is my first she'll come around her due date. Also since my mom had all her kids around her due date. 

MrsBigTime

I'm thinking/hoping this one will come sometime in the week before she's due. 

I was 7 days early with my first, but I tried hard to get her to come. I'm gonna do a lot of the same things this time (walking, pumping, acupuncture) but I'm not sure if they'all strip my membranes since there is no medical reason for me to deliver early.

laurenlalap

My RSC is Nov 9th. I have the number 3 in my head, so I'm thinking I'll go early and screw up the doctor's schedule : )

hoosiermama-2

Guessing late. But we keep joking that day of (November 27) would be perfect—laboring during Sunday football would provide a great distraction

srcr2011

Early and fast! My son was born at 39, and my daughter was born at 38. My first wasn't super fast but fast considering I was a FTM. With my daughter I was pushing 20 min after arriving at the hospital. 5cm-10cm in 20 min. They actually told me what to keep in the car in case I deliver on the way to the hospital (30 min drive). I'm due Nov 2nd but anticipating an October baby. 

MrsMaryK2016

I'm really hoping a little early, he can come anytime from November 1st on, but since I'm a FTM I'm sure it'll be late. That is, assuming my doctor lets me go to 40 weeks. Baby is measuring big so he may want to induce earlier. Who knows! 

erinlin25

FTM so I anticipate late, but as long as I make it to Nov 1, I am fine with a few days early.  EDD is Nov 7th, anything before Nov 1 will make me more nervous since I mentally prepared for a November baby!   I will induce if I am overdue by a week. I really like the idea of the 7th so I do hope he decides to be right on time

ashleymercado88

I would love to have my baby girl early because she is so low and it's more and more uncomfortable, but if she is anything like her brothers, she will wait until her due date or go late.

2amgoodbyes

I rationally expect at least a week late (EDD = 11/19), since I'm a FTM and my sister and I were late for my mom.

But I know a few women with November due dates that already had their babies, so I'm trying to mentally prepare for an early delivery too.

kgrisham18

I'm hoping for about a week early (I'd actually love an October baby).  DD#1 was a planned c-section at 39 weeks (no doubt I would have been late with her).

jenesiso

I'm getting induced here at the hospital (been here 2 weeks,staying for 4) at 35 weeks.

aba0046

I was right on time for #1 but I'm measuring ahead for #2 (due 11/21) so I think he'll come early...but hopefully not too early! Starting to get the delivery heebee jeebees though bc it'll be here before I know it!

lesperla

I'm due November 18th but my doctor is going to induce me on November 14th (due to GD). I'm still thinking my daughter is going to be 2 weeks early though my husband and I are taking bets. He thinks halloween, I think November 7th. Whoever is closest gets 1 night where they don't have to get up with the baby! 

MrsDho11

As a FTM, I assume late.  Lately I've been "feeling" early, but I recognize late is more likely so I'm trying to mentally prepare for it.  I could also just be feeling early because I've pretty much finished my to do list!

jenesiso

I'm 33w today and will be induced at 35w due to preecclampsia. Hoping she won't be too preemie to not be able to stay with me. I wish it  was earlier at 34w, but all the doctors argued and agreed 35w was best. I'll be thrilled to have my new baby AND be out of this damned hospital lol...4 weeks is too much. God help those who are stuck here for months on end.

jlpsantiago68

Honestly I don't know if he will come early or late my 1st was 2 weeks early, 2nd was induced on his due date. Hubby and I would like him to be born on a Friday so he only has to take 1 day off of work. Due 11/14 but already feeling contractions at night then they go away. But I can't go off of that because my with my 2nd I would have contractions for 2-3 hours at night and as soon as I would get ready to go to the hospital they would stop. My family think I will go early. 

anne11716

I'm getting induced on Monday!! One week away, assuming all goes well this week! I'll be 37 weeks then and she said she will start Monday night with the balloon and then break my water and start pitocin Tuesday morning. Last week I was 50%effaced and 1 cm so I'm hoping maybe I'll be even more next week. I'm so ready to meet this little man and get off of bed rest (working on my tenth week now!) and stop pricking my finger to measure blood sugars! I can't  wait to see what he will look like because my husband has dark features and I'm a red head we will know in just a little while! 

rencontrezmoi

I was induced on my EDD with DD for medical reasons. This time, I'm having way more pelvic/groin/pubic pain and pressure, so I'm hoping that means I'll go into labor on my own this time. I'm due 11/25, predicting I'll deliver sometime that week- sometime between 11/21 and 11/25. But who knows. I'm probably way off, lol.

MrsEusini

I'm not sure why, but I'm feeling like baby may come a few days early. I'm consistently measuring a week ahead, and my OB is pretty convinced I may go a week early. Knowing this though, he'll probably be late.

kguinn23

Due Nov. 16th. I think she will come that week or come late. Daddy to be thinks she's going to be early, maybe even at the end of this month. I want to make it to at least 38 weeks (first week in November)
