OB says I'm not going to make it to May

My due date is May 13, but she thinks I could deliver in as few as 7 weeks (history of PTL).

I'm shooting for May 1, but anything after April 15 (36w) would be OK with me.

*sigh*

I'm not ready.

    Wow. That seems so close!  I can't believe the May babies are really coming, and soon! I'm sure you're feeling overwhelmed about it being potentially so early.  Lots of *hugs* to you.

    I am due on May 9, but my medical team and family are praying that I make it to April 11 (my 36 week mark).  Best wishes to you and baby!

    Interesting. Are they planning an induction, or are there other signs of PTL? I've been thinking about this too, as I went into PTL at 23 weeks with my last pregnancy.

    An induction will be scheduled at 39 weeks, if I make it that far, due to GD.

    I had cx with my second for several weeks so I'm hoping to have some sort of "warning sign" that things are impending. But my water spontaneously broke with my first, so who knows?

    This is my fourth pregnancy, third child.

    April 15 seems like not far away at all. Holy cow.

    I hope you're able to make it as long as possible.  Maybe it will be a nice surprise and you'll make it to 38 weeks this time.

    Hope your OB is wrong.  36wks is good as far as pre-term goes, but I understand - not ideal.  And I understand about not feeling ready. 

    I don't know what gest age your other LOs made it to, but I am so hoping for a full term baby.

    Unless your doc is psychic, consider it a reasonable guess.  And, IMO, April 15 is an awesome birthday.  My tax day baby rules!
