what's your "ideal" due date?

acalan13 · November 2011

I am due 12/19. If given the chance to pick, I would say 12/13. I am 8/13 and love odd numbers. My last work day is 12/9....so I like 12/11, 12/13, 12/15, 12/17, 12/19, or 12/21. I would love baby for Christmas because I have the cutest outfits!!!

My due date is Dec 6 and I will be full term Nov 15. DF thinks I will go before Thanksgiving but I am really hoping that he's wrong. We are definitely not ready just yet and I really don't want him coming on Nov 21 which is DF's sons birthday. My doc doesn't think I will make it to my due date but as long as I make it past Thanksgiving I will be happy. Ideally I would like to make it to Dec 1 and wouldn't mind too much if I went as far as the 10th, but hopefully this little guy shows up the first week of December. I'm just praying for a healthy little boy and that's all that really matters to me.

I'm due the 11th of December, of course I want him to stay in there as long as possible, I have a breast feeding class Nov 30th and a hair apt the 1st. My birthday is the 5th so a birthday baby would be cool. DH and I have both picked a date on the calendar since LO is measuring so big, he's 3 weeks ahead. Either way I can't wait to have him here and if the hair apt has to wait no biggie!

My initial response was as soon as possible! But after some thought The 24th would be cool. DH and I were both born on a 21st, and DS was born on a 24th, so another 24th would be neat. That would also be a month before Christmas which would be good.

I'm due the same day. I kinda hope she comes a week early cuz I'm miserable already lol

DiademChi · November 2011

Ideally, the exact due date! Dec 30 gives us enough time for the visiting in-laws to see her before they have to leave, it also gives us a few days before my high maintenance mother arrives, and we still get the tax break. Dec 31 worries me if it's late at night because of drunk drivers on the road.

I certainly won't try to "force"/induce that due date (unless their are necessary health complications), but I can always hope.

NNGnome · November 2011

I am due Dec 3rd, but due to being high risk, my OB wants me to deliver Nov 20th (38 weeks), I am just hoping that I make that date, I am being seen twice a week, and at any one of those appointments they might change their minds and want me to go earlier, and that will be because the baby's health is deteriorating, so I am hoping he stays healthy and I get to Nov 20th.

06hoky · November 2011

I'm due the 22nd but preferably as soon after December 15th as possible because that's my last exam and would give me the most time before going back to school and I'd love for her to be here for Christmas so she can wear the dress my mom is making for her.

emadlma · November 2011

I am due on 12/26 but would love to have him on December 19. Our anniversary is December 18, so it would be nice to get to celebrate that first. (So we will be married at least one year before his birth too!) The 19th would also give me enough time to recover and enjoy the holiday with our family members that are visiting from out of town.

Mike&Care · November 2011

I think my due date would be good, or the 27th. I'd like to be home for Christmas eve, Christmas day and new years eve. Any other time is good, just as long as it's not before 38 weeks. We are not even close to being ready. I dont even know where our baby stuff is, including the crib.

MesmrEwe · November 2011

Anytime from the 10th to the 13th because depending on the country and how they write the date it's an easier one to remember... i.e. 12-10-11, 10-11-12, 11-12-13, 13-12-11....

buggywhips · November 2011

My early EDD is the 19th and the late one is the 24th. I would love to have him a bit early so I could be home with my baby on Christmas! I have been receiving a bunch of "Baby's First Christmas" things so it seems family members feel the same way!

CarmonEdJ · November 2011

My EED would be nice as it would leave time between having a baby and Christmas. I wouldn't mind waiting a day as a lot of important dates for us as a couple revolve around the 15th (started dating 4/15, got married 5/15) would be fun for another 15th to become a day to celebrate.

Although MH's grandmother has requested the baby wait until the 18th, her bday, I don't think I will want to wait that long to meet LO.

alexvause · November 2011

Second week of December would be awesome. Full term but plenty of time to get home and into some sort of routine before Christmas.

mrskimm09 · November 2011

Id love to go into labor the first or second week of december. I would also like if it was a saturday or sunday.

VMichonski · November 2011

I'm due 12/15 but I'm so over this pregnancy, I would feel okay about her making an enterance at 37+weeks. Maybe this is dumb, but if I hold out to 12/1 than LO's birthstone doesn't have to be an ugly citrine and rather a blue topaz. lol My other kid's birthstones are aquamarine, and amethyst(some say pearl or tarzantanite(sp?)) so adding blue topaz would make an awfully pretty birthstone bracelet lol Like I said, dumb lol

getnmarried910 · November 2011

I originally thought December 20th since that's my grandma's birthday, but I've never been allowed a day past 39 weeks, and my fluid is showing signs of dropping (we're on the tail end of normal right now), so it's not likely I'll be going past 39 weeks. I don't have any other dates in mind, but I'm guessing this baby will come on the 9th, 10th, or 11th because DH is in a musical at church and it's a really busy weekend with DD's birthday as well.

rubyjem00 · November 2011

If I got to choose the date, I would actually say the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. I would be just a day shy of 39 weeks and it would work out perfectly with work (basically giving me more time off with the baby).

However, my due date is December 1 and something tells me that the LO is staying in there for as long as possible so I have a gut feeling I will be late.

pdstewart1969 · November 2011

I am due on 12/30, however 12/16 would be a good date for me. This year will be 7 years when my mom passed away....on that date one Stewart woman was taken and it would be cool if one was brought into this world that day!

Stella2008 · November 2011

I'm due 12/2, and I am really hoping to have this baby right after Thanksgiving and not before. I think my "ideal" date is 11/29, as DD was born on my MIL's birthday and an 11/29 birthday would be the same as my dad's birthday. My DD was born a week early, and so if the 1st babys timing is an indicator of 2nd baby's arrival than we have a good shot.

Doctor says baby is already really low and I'm already 1-2 cm dialated so I think an early birth date could be in the cards.

jordanmd89 · November 2011

Mine would be 12/17, 18, 19, or 20. Baby will be 38 weeks and it will allow my DH to spend his whole two week Christmas break vacation with the baby. Plus I am off starting on the 20 so that would be fine also!

shanabonner · November 2011

I'm due December 30th. I would really like him to get here before christmas..I'll be 37 weeks on December 9th so really anytime between the 9th and the 16th would be great! My mom had me at just shy of 35 weeks and so far my pregnancy has been very similar to hers other than the morning sickness.

rschaffer · November 2011

But, if we could wait until Friday that would be cool too b/c it's 11/11/11 .

I've thought about that too. If these babies do come early that would be a cool day for it to happen!

When I was in L&D last week with preterm labor it was 11/1/11, which we thought was neat too.

My son's b-day is 7-7-07, so 11-11-11 would be pretty cool, but I'm only 33 weeks now, so that is highly improbable, and I wouldn't really wish for that.
