3rd Trimester

Do you think you will go early or late?

I'm thinking I'll go early, probably just wishful thinking...  Meaning early as in between full term and 40 weeks.

What are your thoughts? 

Re: Do you think you will go early or late?

  • In spite of the drama of going late with my 1st, I've fallen for the "second babies come quicker" theory and convinced myself that this one will come early.

  • Loading the player...
  • I have been convinced that I would give birth on Aug 2nd which would be 8 days overdue.

    My girlfriend who is a neonatal nurse put it in my head that I would go into labour at the beginning of July - right around 36-37 weeks.

    I'm now prepared for anything. I don't feel anything close to being ready so I think that I will go on or just after my due date... but we all know that that can change rather suddenly. My gut says close to my due date.?

  • Hoping for right on time! But we'll see. There's no telling when this little one will make her/his debut.
  • I think I'll go early. 

    I was scheduled for a c-sec with DS at 38.5 weeks (he was breech) and went into labor on my own at 38 weeks.  He was 7lbs8oz.  This time she is breech too and about the same size as DS so I just keep seeing the similarities in my pg's and think she will come early too.  Right now I am scheduled for a c-sec at 39 weeks but wonder if I will make it.  At least I know I for sure won't go past 39 weeks : )

  • My first came at 36 weeks, I'm hoping this little one will be healthy and ready to come at 37-38 weeks.
  • I was convinced I would have my LO on Mother's Day weekend....it was a full moon, I went for my prenatal massage, I had a contraction, lost my MP...and nothing.....now I think I'll go to my due date although I am very hopeful that I will go earlier!!

  • I think i'll make it until induction just like I did w/ both my girls.  DD#1 I was induced at 38.5wks & DD#2 it was 39.5wks...I will probably be induced sometime in the 39th week again.  I had signs w/ both my girls that labor was coming soonish but I probably would have been a bit later than EDD w/ both.  My DH was 2wks late (hence almost 11lbs)--I don't want to go there.  LOL!

    I might be crazy, but I'm planning on late, like around 42 weeks.  I'm in no hurry, and will just be pleasantly surprised if it happens sooner.

  • Since my doctor told me I'll probably go early, and after my episode of HORRIBLE contractions that put me into tears last night, I'm guessing I'm gonna go early. But we'll see.
  • I know I'll go early.  I have a c/s scheduled for 38w2d.  But I'm having twins so I don't know if it counts!

    You're not crazy- you're realistic. And probably more right than most of us. LOL

  • My gut feeling from the beginning is that I'll have him early.
  • hoping to be done prepping for baby by early June and then just doing "little things" and done them by early July. Going to my sis's wedding Jully 11th 5 hours away when I'm 36 weeks Indifferent so ideally I wanna be ready just in case something happens on the trip.

    For some reason, July 27th sticks in my mind as a date which would be like 2 weeks early. 

    I'm just hoping I'm not horribly impatient  to just have her out by the time i'm like 38 weeks. I could still have a month to go!!

     

  • I'm thinking I'll go around 39 weeks. Everyone keeps telling me that. My mom also went a week early with me.

    I have been super stressed at work - to a point that I was starting to wake up having panic attacks - and I have had 2 days off in the past 3 weeks...that probably has something to do with it too...

  • I'm reaaaaaally hoping I don't go past 40 weeks.  I'd ideally like to be as close to my due date as possible, if not sooner, but then again I am sure that's how most ladies feel.

    I think I'll go early. DH had to be taken out with c/s at 35 weeks because he was getting so big. Although our daughter is measuring right on target, that might change...

  • I'm 10 days from my due date now...and after we had a scare with PTL at 35 weeks, I'm thinking she'll be stubborn now and come late, but no matter what, I should have a baby by June 2nd (hopefully sooner than that though)!!

  • I went 35 w 5 d with my son- He was healthy with no problems- so its wishful thinking i'll go early again- although the Dr said theres just a 10% chance i'll go early again.

  • I'm thinking early despite the whole, "first babies come late" thing.

  • For some reason, I know I'm coming early. ?I;ve felt this way from the beginning. ?I've been weeks ahead on all my symptoms, and I even look bigger cause I'm really short (4 ft 11 inches). ?I wouldn't be surprised if I was 36-37 weeks. ?My mom's kids were all early too. ?but we'll see...

  • I'm scheduled for a C-Section on the 29th of this month, but I really think this little boy is going to arrive earlier than that....somewhere between the 18th & 27th (I keep thinking the 23rd for some reason).  We shall see.

  • Late. I've had an uneventful pregnancy and I don't see any reason to think he'll come early. I'm gonna let him cook as long as he wants though, I won't get an induction unless medically necessary.
  • Up until Tuesday I would have said a full 40 because my pregnancy was also uneventful. But he tried to come early. So i definetley think we will be lucky if he makes it till May 21 which is what the doctor wants us to get to.
