Early? Late? On time?

MiaMyPuggle · December 2013

Do you predict having the baby earlier than your due date, later, or within 2 or 3 days either way?

mrsjenni · December 2013

Scheduled induction at 39 weeks... so early

sugarland726 · December 2013

Repeat c-section...so early.

MiaMyPuggle · December 2013

I'm having a RCS, but lately, I feel like I'm going to go earlier. I'm just feeling "different". Can't explain it. I didn't really feel like this with my son. Maybe bc she is presenting head down and he was breech? Maybe that makes a difference?

melissandow · December 2013

I predict early because at 31 weeks, my OB told me that I was measuring almost term (fundal height) and baby is big (gestational diabetes). She told me I'll likely end up with a scheduled c/s. Nothing confirmed yet though.

I would have said late a couple of days ago, but now with my BP being high... I'm not so sure.

sorry to hear about the high BP @BMReid!

pennstated912 · December 2013

I think my doctor thinks I am going to go early. Usually, at 36 weeks, my OB puts in place travel restrictions (not allowed to fly, must not be only an hour away from hospital at all times, if more, I need to take a copy if my records and know where the closest hospital is).

I asked about going somewhere with DH (he wanted to take me to NC for the weekend) and he said that they actually were going to tell me at my appointment on Monday that I can no longer travel (I'm 33w4d, at my appt I'll be 34w1d).

Something tells me that he's expecting an early arrival from me.

rowanthefrog · December 2013

Honestly I have no clue. DS1 came at 36 weeks. DS2 came after 40 weeks. I'm hoping for around 38 weeks this time.

Same as @BMReid. I was really thinking we'd be going overdue. But with the BP issues, I'm thinking it might happen sooner rather than later.

PBP2002 · December 2013

I'm guessing early only because DS was born about 10 days early. I know that two pregnancies/births aren't the same, but if we're guessing, that's what I guess.

OSUWifey09 · December 2013

Even though my doctors moved my date up to January 17th, my EDD based on my LMP is January 26th [which I trust more because I know when I got pregnant, and that date's more accurate to me]...so I'm thinking this baby will come after the 17th. I'm hoping they will just let me go and not induce me unless baby gets too big, baby has issues or my placenta starts to give me trouble.

megngregk · December 2013

If I go over my due date, I'm reaching up there and pulling him out myself.

cpm1223 · December 2013

I'm guessing that I'll go late. My OB said that most FTMs do and that if nothing happens by 41.5 weeks, I'll be induced. I honestly told her that I would be 100% ok with this....because I'm a freak who likes being pregnant.

katags · December 2013

I voted early, but I'm really not sure. I am not prepared for her arrival at all... Baby's things are all still in boxes/bags in our guest room, my house is a mess, and I intended to spend all of December stocking a 2nd freezer which we have yet to buy. And I have family coming into town from the 20th to the 26th that I need to prepare for. So it'd be just my luck to go early and not be able to get anything done on my super long to do list.

FSUNole31 · December 2013

I am just saying early because I had DS 10 days before his due date.

Hkula · December 2013

I voted on my due date, but that's just what I'm hoping for

iwalktheline · December 2013

My dr won't let me go too much past 39 weeks (that's if she even lets me go that far). We're sort of playing it by ear depending on what my BP does.

thegosiers · December 2013

So many of my friends have been going late with their first little ones, I think I will be either on time or late. Somewhat wishful thinking as we are still unpacking boxes in the new house...

MrsGraham06 · December 2013

I'm hoping early, but put 2-3 days from due date.

This one is actually dropped and pushing downwards, so seems to be more ready to come out than the others. And, we've already changed my due date from 1/6 to 1/13, but now by fundal height I'm measuring like 3-4 weeks ahead. I have an U/S on Tuesday to see what's up.

ETA: With the way my contractions are feeling today...we shall see what happens. Fortunately, they aren't close together, just really strong!

gina0485 · December 2013

As a FTM, despite how I absolutely do not believe there could possibly be enough room for this LO to keep growing over 7 more weeks, I think i'll be later than my EDD.

HeartOverMind · December 2013

I think I'll go later, mostly because that's what I'm hoping. DH has a feeling the baby will come early. We shall see.

daltosostarby · December 2013

I'm probably going to be induced at 39wks because of medical issues.

ETA: stupid iPhone autocorrect

Summer889 · December 2013

All along, I've been assuming I'd go late. My midwives said the average for FTM's is 7-10 days late. And as long as everything looks good, they won't even start talking induction until 42 weeks.

mommabird77 · December 2013

I had my son on his due date, so I expect this baby to be right around the same time.

ChuggingWater · December 2013

Super tight vagina, so late.

Deblondie1 · December 2013

At my appt yesterday, I told my OB that H and I are expecting LO to be in around the week of Christmas. She laughed and said "yup." Even my OB has zero confidence we'll make it to Jan lol

forevergraceful · December 2013

Early, I have had a feeling this whole pregnancy, and now my BP is rising.

susieandmarty · December 2013

I'm incredibly inpatient so fingers crossed for early (after 38 weeks works for me) but dd was late by 5 days so i am hoping for just around my due date

RedSaffron · December 2013

I'm hoping right around my due date, but I have a gut feeling she's gonna come out early.

ETA: I'm mobile bumping and the buttons for the polls are missing..... Even for the other polls on the board. Anyone else?

last14real · December 2013

I voted early, DS was 9 days early, DH likes to claim he has magic sperm and can get the baby out on his terms. Before DS was born we had no sexy time for about 3 weeks then at 38 weeks 5 days we were both awake and bored at like 3 am, so ya. Contractions started at 6:30 am and just progressed throughout the day. DS was born that night and DH claims all the credit. Keeping our fingers crossed we can make it work the same way this time:)

Toribaker171 · December 2013

Based on my BP, and a very strong gut feeling this entire pregnancy I'm going to say early, like 3-5 weeks early.... SO and I are getting everything ready to go in the next 2-3 weeks just in case, but we're hoping LO holds out until January at least!

waterlily2k2 · December 2013

I will be induced at 39w if I don't go on my own before then. But honestly, I really think he'll come before Christmas (I'm measuring at 37w already, so...)

agunnet · December 2013

I delivered my older kids at 38, 37.5, 36.3, and 37.2 weeks. So I'm guessing this one will come around 37 ish.

brideandbreve · December 2013

I was induced a week early with DS, so I'm anticipating (and planning on) being pregnant well into the first week of February with a late baby who is in no hurry to arrive.

If she's early, I'll be surprised.

bluegreeneyes11 · December 2013

I voted early but it's wishful thinking. Of course I want him to be healthy as can be but I can see myself being 'done' come mid January or sooner.

chicki1012 · December 2013

One month today, yippie!!!!! I'm guessing I will go ontime or a little after!!

I am having a RCS at 39w1d, but I do feel like she wants out before then...

moosebaby2011 · December 2013

Induced at 40w1d with my DS, and my OB doesn't want me to go more than a week past my due date with this LO either.

ksonne · December 2013

DS1 was 9 days late. I would love if DS2 came 9 days early to make things even. But I'm mentally preparing to go that late again. It was sooooo hard to go past my due date the first time, but I guess that's why it's called an estimated due date.

LexGator · December 2013

DD was a week early, and my OB told me today that means it's likely I will go early again. It can happen anytime after Dec 22 when my parents get here.

LatteLady5 · December 2013

I vote early. DD was late but I've had BH and real contractions very regularly for ages and have had to have them stopped already. I can't imagine he'll stay in until 1/6. I'm just hoping he stays in until at least 37weeks because my hospital won't deliver before then and I'd have to go about an hour an a half away.
