December 2013 Moms

Tomorrow ...

So totally just realized that any babies had tomorrow are officially December babies! Also we can start saying we are due this month for those of us who keep getting asked. HOW EXCITING IS THAT?!

Re: Tomorrow ...

  • So I'm wondering in the next few hours how many waters are going to break or labors are going to start because our babies are silly and they want to squeeze into that last bit of November...
    I've been wondering the same thing, actually. I'm wondering, percentage wise, how many D13 mamas had their babies in November.

  • Obviously not super accurate, but there are about 630 December mommies on our google doc. There are 63 posts on the birth announcement sticky thread. Going solely by that, it would be about 10%, but probably between 10-15%, which actually surprises me quite a bit. I thought there were more. Lol

    Two babies, 11 months apart! We're in for a ride!
  • Me too! I'm due the 5th, so I've been ready since like mid-November when I hit 37 weeks, even though I know that's not considered to be full term anymore haha.

  • The amount was kind of astonishing and I am sure some people that are on the google doc have either stopped posting or have had their babies and just didn't announce so the number could be more than what is on the birth announcement thread.

    ::crosses fingers, says a chant, does a labor dance:: I need this to be me! I would love to avoid the impending induction if I could
    I'm right there with you. My 40 week appointment is Friday where I'll be 40+1 and I will be induced the following week if I've not gone into labor, which I'm fine with because I'm done being pregnant, but I'd rather avoid pitocin if possible.

  • I know, it's so crazy!  Finally December!! :)  I'm pretty excited cuz I'm due Dec 2nd & I was hoping she would make it to having a December birthday, & now as long as we make it through today that'll happen!  I've been amazed too at how many of the Dec babies came in November!

    Oh of course. But it was the easiest way to get a percentage. Lol

  • I didn't even realize there were that many of us on the list!!! I was guessing that there were maybe 250-300... But then again, maybe that is the most active amount of us :-D

    Still 63 babies before December even started is absolutely nuts if you ask me!!!

  • I realized the same thing this morning, I never thought I would actually make it to December. Yay!

    My Dr. still considers 37 weeks to be full term. I've been holding on to that! :) At my 37 week appointment last week my dr. said I could go ahead and have the baby any time and it would be perfectly fine! I'm ready.

  • I've started just saying "any time now...!" When people ask when I'm due. We were all early so that and wishful thinking had my optimistic. I'll rethink that optimism when my due date comes and goes with no squish...
    Me too!!!!

  • That's it- you've done it. Gauntlet thrown. These D13 kids are a competitive bunch! Watch them rise to the challenge! Lol

  • Ya, can't really go by registered users as there will be way more registered vs posting.

    Didn't we have a poll somewhere on who thinks they will go early ?  Might get a better number using those who participated in that.

    Either way, I was not expecting this many to pop so soon :)

    Mine said the same thing at my 38 week appointment after she stripped my membranes, which she likely would have done at 37 weeks, but I was only 0.5 cms dilated at that point.

    Brace yourself... An explosion of L&D posts are coming!
    I'm bumping mobile 100%. I wish all the ladies would put their screen names in the subject line when they announce they're going to L&D or announcing arrivals and sharing birth stories. The "He's Here" subject lines are so random coming from bumpies who never posted before.
    That is a great idea. I'll be sure to do that for when my LB goes in and for my birth story. I've been mobile bumping a ton lately with being all over the place for Thanksgiving. Opening all these randoms threads and I'm like ok should I know this person?
    They are supposed to be doing that now. I remember a thread with that being discussed. I don't remember where it is on the board though.

  • I'm sure most of us will burst with labor and have babies before Christmas?? That would show that those babies wouldn't want to miss their gifts and etc?? :). My guess I would have about 20 days or so left baking this baby till then...

    Can we make this its in post? I think the reason no one does it is b/c its always talked about in buried threads... @ColeRose @rfred20

    I'm down. Hopefully ColeRose can make it a new "rule".
