I have a sneaking suspicion

missyishere · August 2011

I just have a feeling I will go a little early. I don't know why (maybe it's wishful thinking), but I really have an instinct telling me I will go sooner rather than later in the end. Anyone else have intuition on their time?

lizliechti · August 2011

I think EVERYONE thinks this! Every pregnant woman I know anyway!

forensicmama · August 2011

I always thought I would with DD, but nope!!! I was induced at a few days short of 40 weeks.

Make sure your bag is packed just in case intuition is correct.

Yea I thought that too last time. Didn't happen.

pettycrocker · August 2011

Maybe... From the very beginning I had a feeling LO would come on 8/1 (my edd was 7/24) I went in for an emergency induction on 7/29 and she was born by csection at 10pm on 7/31 so I definitely would have had a 8/1 baby. lol

lindylogana · August 2011

I was due Feb 4th with my daughter and I told everyone that I felt like she would be a January baby...sure enough my water broke on January 18th.

With this one I have a feeling he will be an early October baby (I'm due the 10th), or maybe that's my wishful thinking. I don't want to go too early because I want to be off through Christmas.

This! Went overdue and was induced. Ended up with a csectio. Hoping and praying that I actually do go a week or so early this time so I get to try for a vbac. If I go over 41 weeks this time, straight to a rcs.

NickyCicc20 · August 2011

I'm actually the only one convinced I WON'T go early. DH, my mom and my boss are all sure I'll go end of September (due 10/16) while I have a feeling I'm having a 10/20 baby

With my first I always "knew" she would be born late. I figured she'd be 9 days late. Not sure why, but that date stuck out to me. She was actually born 11 days late. So I was almost right. Everyone around me thought I was crazy when I kept saying I thought she would be late, they kept asking why I would do that to myself.

My second I figured she'd be late too and wanted to be mentally prepared for that possibility. She was born on her due date. No one was more surprised than me.

I feel like this little guy will be early, but I'm also mentally prepared to go to 42w so I don't get bummed if I go late again.

Not I... I think I will go overdue lol. My husband on the other hand is rooting for a end of September baby,

kle+spd · August 2011

With my first I just knew she would be an Oct baby! She was born 10/2 and her dd was 9/28.

This time I'm due 9/30 and I just have this feeling he will be a Sept baby! But I don't think I will go too much earlier than my dd!

MrsEllis10 · August 2011

I thought she would arrive exactly a week early the entire time I was pregnant. Well I'm overdue and no signs of her coming any day. LOL! I hope your intuitions are right, just not too early!

christen_z1 · August 2011

With my first, I thought I would go overdue. He was born right on his due date. My second, I thought she would be early. She was 3 days early. Now with this one, I think she will be a few days to a week early. We shall see! Wink

lildevil968 · August 2011

I thought my DS would come around 36 wks because DD was born at 37 wks. Nope he came via induction at 39 wks 3 days.

Matt Dvorak · August 2011

I think that I will go late - but I think that is also a way for me to convince myself that I have time to get all this work done, so it's ok that I'm spending some time at work on the bump and fb! haha.

mrsjenniferg2010 · August 2011

I have had a feeling she will be here early ever since I have been looking at Halloween stuff for a baby girl. When I was looking I wasn't keeping in mind that my due date is Nov 5th. I just have a weird feeling she will be Here before Halloween. With DS I had a feeling he was going to be late. He was 2 weeks past due when I was induced.

DarrenAndMelissa · August 2011

I thought this with both pregnancies. DD#1 was 6 days late and DD#2 is now 5 days late and there is no sign of her coming anytime soon.

My mother's intuition was completely wrong, obviously. Hope you have better luck!

Damn...I thought it was just me!

Fianschneid · August 2011

I think I'll be late. Every baby in my family since my sister was born in 1976 has been 1-2 weeks past due.

mooninlv · August 2011

i thought so too. notice my ticker..

bundymommy · August 2011

Sometimes I actually think I will end up with a September baby (EDD 8/23). I think I'm mentally prepared to go to 41 weeks, but after that I'll probably be having a hard time with it. Smile

newbmom347 · August 2011

I didn't have an intuition about it...i went into pre-term labor and although they stopped it, my doctor was sure that he was going to come early. I'm now almost 39 weeks and will be induced on Friday.

kzel0627 · August 2011

I have a feeling that I'll go early...and I'm not the only one. Most people who see me tell me I won't make it to my due date (9/10/11). The only reason I would want to have the baby on my edd is for the awesome birthday numbers lol but I am so over being pregnant. I've also been measuring a little big so hopefully that's a good indicator that I'll go early Smile

loisloan1118 · August 2011

I've had the same feeling my whole pregnancy! Especially because my EDD is 42 weeks after LMP. But I've been measuring in line w/ EDD of 9/3 the entire time, but if I go off of LMP I'm due 8/22. So I still think I'll have an August baby. Any time after this week is fine by me! But she'll be here when she's ready Smile

I'm trying to psych myself up for the possibility of going later (telling myself how great the extra time to get prepared will be) but it's not easy when I'm so excited to meet my DD!

AKBrideinMD · August 2011

I thought so too and I'm 40w1d. I thought I'd have the baby on Aug. 5 (3 days early). Now I'm just praying I go anytime SOON!

Hollygirl7 · August 2011

With my first, I was hoping that I'd go early. I didn't really have an instinct one way or the other, but I really didn't consider what life would be like beyond my due date. Then Jan 14th (DS's EDD) came and went, and I had to come to terms with the fact that life went on past Jan. 14th, even if I didn't have a baby in my arms at that point! I had a really hard time adjusting to going late, and he ended up coming 13 days after his EDD.

This time, I'm saving myself some agony by saying to myself that I will NOT have the baby in September (due Oct 5) and that I will, at the very least, have the baby by October 19th. Anything in between is gravy. Hopefully, this way, I'll maintain some of my sanity when I go overdue!

shortie2008 · August 2011

I'm kinda hoping she'll be here early, but that's because DH gets Labor Day weekend leave and I want to be sure she's here so he can meet her before she's 6 weeks old. He's in AIT right now.

But for some reason, I was playing with my birth announcements and put August 29th down. Felt right, which is weird because I have a thing with even numbers. DH is hoping she comes on her due date because it'll be easier for him to remember lol. His birthday and our anniversary are both on the 26th of the month.

Galaxy8227 · August 2011

My husband thinks I"m going to go on 8/21, I think I'm going on 9/4--I'm due 8/31 so we'll see who's right!

adri77 · August 2011

Yes, i thought I'd go early with both....DS1 was 41weeks. DS2 was on his due date. I KNOW this baby will be early, for real this time, hahaha!!!!

angel2288 · August 2011

ME! ME! ME!

DS was born on his due date, and "they say" that the second baby comes earlier and faster (faster than 26hours of labor, yes please!) So im thinking/wishing/hoping that LO comes maybe just a week early

Sarahbear621 · August 2011

With DS I was due the first week of August but I told everyone I would be early....and I was. My water broke July 19th. Sex and tex mex rolls do a wonder for early labor.

MsTammy · August 2011

I have that feeling, but thats because I go 2 weeks earlier with every pregnancy. First 38 weeks, then 36 weeks, then 33 weeks. I'm crapping my pants.

fadushi · August 2011

I thought for sure I was going to go early. And here I am past 40 weeks.

jellybean0110 · August 2011

Please, for your own sanity, change your thinking on this. It's hard enough when you reach your due date and realize you're going to pass it without adding crushed expectations of going early. You can't control when your baby comes...so keep an open mind!

stabil19 · August 2011

I think I will go early for a couple of reasons. I have prehypertension and take blood pressure medicine. Also, my cervix is slightly open and was open at 25 week check up.

Also, I think my baby is measuring big. He/She was 2lbs 8 oz at my 27 week ultrasound. I have gained 4 lbs since then, and my belly has gotten a lot bigger. I just have a feeling my baby is big.

I also think that I won't go early cause I am almost counting on having a September baby rather than an October baby.

cherryringpop · August 2011

With DD#1 I was convinced I would go two weeks late. She was born 4 weeks early.

This, lol.

LMeR01 · August 2011

I have said from the beginning that I think that I will go early. The dd is 10/18, and I'm predicting 10/10. I don't know why. However, I have a handful of friends and family that say that the first one is always late. From reading PPs...obviously, that it's always the case.

We did a Due Date Prediction Board/Calendar at our Reveal Party. It was interesting to see what everyone said. We'll see who's right soon enough...

preppymama · August 2011

i had a dream that i would have my daughter at 37w5d and i happened to be induced for unexpected medical reasons at 37w5d.

wolverine8 · August 2011

It's just a feeling so try not to get set on that idea and upset if you go late. I was told by my OB that I WOULD go early because I was already 80% effaced at 29 weeks and ended up going to 41 weeks. Hang in there.
