July Labor Buddies

ball.and.chain · April 2014

Did we do July LBs yet? I missed it if we did. Not sure how far ahead it is usually set up.

MsAmandaPants · April 2014

hijacked to say . . . OMG. JULY. LABOR. BUDDIES.

Okay, carry on . . .

This freaks me out a little bit. But pick me! Pick me! What is the best strategy? A couple of weeks apart in due date or close together?

Though technically not due in July, I name @msamandapants as keeper of my information. Mostly because she already knows way too many details about my daily life and body. Hahahahh.

I'm honored and will begin searching for appropriate gifs immediately.

I think you're supposed to do due dates that are a couple of weeks apart so that you're not both in labor at the same time.

But I am TOTALLY not an expert. And I would TOTALLY be your labor buddy anyway.

Well I'm due July 27th but I'm back in L&D for overnight observation and steroid shots for her lungs, doc doesn't think I'll make it to June, do I not need to get a LB or what?

PinkCamino · April 2014

Can I just tell you ladies how effing amazing this is???????????????????
:x

CaitNMatt · April 2014

I want a labor buddy PLEASE!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for this

ball.and.chain · April 2014

How come everyone who wants a July LB is due ON my due date or really close to it?

@who_dat_grl, I think anyone in any month could be your LB at this point!

ball.and.chain · April 2014

Hmmmm. Should we just revisit in a month or two?

Or two?! You're having babies in two!

psychmajormom · April 2014

I have secured myself a labor buddy who isn't on PGAL, @VikingQueen‌

Um, it is still April for 4 hours. And I'm in denial. Or I was, until the nurse at my OB's office gave me this to fill out today (if you can't read the print, it says "Worksheet for Certificate of Live Birth - Newborn"):

@Qfrump, I am convinced that if either of us is the other's LB, we will be guaranteed to go into labor on the same day. Ditto for you, @CaitNMatt. And it occurs to me that I have a friend on the LGBT board with whom I regularly text and Gchat -- I will just have her report to both boards.

@Qfrump, you have MAP so you are all set. @CaitNMatt, I am sure we can find someone who wants to report for you!

slensic · May 2014

I also was just thinking about this. I will have a RCS on July 9th but would love someone who can update and I would love to be someone's LB too. @CaitNMatt I don't know if we are too close together or not.

MrsWallick · May 2014

I need a buddy too!!! I'm due July 3rd!

princezjk · May 2014

My EDD is 7/21, but based on my history I would be shocked if I made it past the second week in July. So basically, this little guy could arrive at anytime. I am a very appealing LB! Any takers?

But in all seriousness, I am willing to take a chance if anyone else is. There is a reason they call it an estimated due date, right?

LifeofCat · May 2014

I was *just* wondering how this labour buddy system worked....hehehe (I'm only due in September but am a big planner, as you can see)

Good luck pairing up; you're all wonderful so it'll be great

I was thinking the same thing!! It would be my luck we would have babies the same day.

@slensic‌ I would be happy to report for you!!! Pm me if you want to be labor buddies!!!

MrsWallick · May 2014

@princezjk‌ I think we're far enough apart that it would work. I think I am going to go early too so it could be perfect! PM if you want to pair up

I love this so much! Claim denial all you want, NOW it really is two!

princezjk · May 2014

@mrswallick - I'm game! Sending you a PM now!

ball.and.chain · May 2014

OK, so @MsAmandaPants is reporting for @Qfrump.
I'm using my LGBT/PGAL/PAIF soul-sister @2MamazinSeattle.
@who_dat_grl is using @VikingQueen.

Then I have:
@slensic + @CaitNMatt
@MrsWallick + @princezjk

I think that is everyone who responded to this thread who is due in July...right? Whoa. We're having babies!

CaitNMatt · May 2014

OMG WE ARE HAVING BABIES SOON!!! This is CRAZY!!!

Amores0121 · May 2014

Well, I'm a bit late to this post but I would also like a labor buddy if possible...seems everyone is already paired up though! Well, if anyone else is interested I'm due 7/21

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

But not too soon, okay, guys? Let's all hold our beautiful rainbow babies at the appropriate gestational age.

Oh, I've had several serious chats with him about this. Not before 37w, kiddo. And preferably a little later than that cause I have a LOT to DO!

I'm willng my LO to come between July 16 (my bday) and July 25 (DD's bday). I really would like everyone to have their own day! The lady that did my pedicure last week said her baby was born on her bday and she basically hasn't had a bday in 18 years. She said maybe now that he's moved out, she'll get her birthday back! LOL No thanks, I still want my own bday!! And DD thinks everyone will forget about her if he's born on her day.
