My whole family is placing bets on the day they think hell make his grand entrance, so far everyone is betting early! I'm guessing late. I'm due August 28th, FTM and LO has been super content in there, giving me no reason to believe he will come early. My birthday is September 2nd.. let's see if we end up sharing a birthday!!
DS was 39w5d. Neither my mom or MIL had a baby go over the due date. So of course no one thinks I will. Of course there is a first time for everything. . I definitely don't hope she's early. As long as she's not born on DS's birthday I'm pretty much good.
I am scheduled to be induced August 3rd at 39 weeks and I don't feel LO will come any sooner unless an NST or BPP comes back with reason to deliver early. Baby is happy in there! And I like it that way. The longer the better.
I think I'll make it to my Edd. It's August 8. Due to high bp and baby measuring big, doc said he wouldn't see the point in me going over. So we'll see. I have to say, my grandmother was a big believer in the full moon too. So we might have several babies 7/31.
One minute I feel like 40 weeks+ will happen but the next I feel like he'll come early. My mom had both my brother and I 2 weeks early and I sort of feel sometimes that I'm really running out of space for him but then again, my body will adjust if it wants to! I'll be happy no matter when he comes, I'll be especially happy if I can avoid a hospital/induction (planning on a birth center birth)!
I was past due with my first two. First was 5 days late, second was 12 days later when we induced. This entire pregnancy I thought I'd be past due, however, I've had contractions already ( didn't with the first two). Also had high blood pressure on Monday, going tomorrow to get it checked again. If it stays high, I'm guessing doctor will induce me early.
@emmacake08 I am definitely in the running to have one of the last births for our board. My EDD is Aug 31, and my first came on his own 3 days after EDD. I guess we will have to wait and see though.
Joey 06.05.2010, MC Jan 2014-EDD 09.11.2014, Aurelia 08.24.2015 (lost twin ~12 weeks), Ectopic Loss Feb 2016, EDD 01.03.2018
As a FTM I felt sure I would make it past my due date but life had other plans. I had been wondering the same thing OP, Every time I come back to check the board, there are new birth announcements!
My EDD is 8/20 and I'm pretty sure I will make it to around that day. DD was born on her due date. I've had no complications so far, just a few random contractions here and there. Good luck to us all, I hope we all make it to 39 weeks at least.
I'm due Aug 20th too! I doubt I'll have this baby anytime before then!
I'm praying I see my EDD. I've been a huge risk for PTL since about 33 weeks. Every week DD decides to keep cooking makes me very happy. My goal is to at least make it to August, and after that, August 16. After all this PTL stuff, I would actually be thrilled if she went over, but right now I kind of doubt that.
I'm not sure my EDD by dates is the 24th but by my scans its really the 7th. And now my grandmother is insisting he'll come next week because she knows these things....
I think I'll make it to mine because even though baby is measuring above average, it's still moving around like crazy in there. Still pretty cozy I think lol DH thinks I will be the start of August though and my family does have a history of early babies so we will see! (Also have a history of smaller babies too and that's obviously not happening lol)
Due on Aug 3rd!! I'm thinking I'll deliver right around that time!??? I haven't had any sign of contractions...just BH and lots of pressure on my butt haha. I'm looking forward to the birthing process...so far no issues and expecting a natural delivery.
I fricken hope I don't! But I did see my due date the other two pregnancies. Part of me thinks I will go a little bit early but I have no reason to believe that will be true. Haven't even been checked yet and so I have no idea where I am. (Due 8/6)
I'm mentally prepared to go to 42 weeks (which is one month from today so that's soon enough! I've waited this long!) I'm also mentally preparing to have my water break and contractions NOT start at 39 weeks, as this happened to my mom and my older sister. However, I don't necessarily believe that these things are genetically determined (maybe linked but not guaranteed if you know what I mean). She's showing no signs of going anywhere anytime soon and that's fine with me.
My motto for pregnancy is I'm not going to stress about what I cannot predict or control. I can only make the best decisions possible with the information I have as situations arise, with the advice of my doctor. That's the attitude I'm taking toward going into labor!
Can't wait to see all your beautiful babies when they do come!!!
According to my doctor I will most likely not make it to my EDD. 35 weeks now, having contractions, 2 cm dilated. She thinks the baby will be here in two to three weeks! I'm hoping he stays put longer...but not too long, I have GD, so my doc is not letting me go past my EDD.
Im due August 5th and im determind to make it!! Doctor thinks I will, everyone else says, "oh youre going to pop soon!" Thanks because you are a doctor and you know...I want to make it to at least August 1st but I think ill go past my DD actually..I only wany to make it August 1st because ill gain the vacation time to get paid out for in August and ill get 100 hours of pay before I even care about the short term disability check coming in!! So since August 1st ill be 39w3d...she can come whenever after that. Thanks LO! Ha!
I'm due August 2 and pretty sure I will make it. FTM and no signs at all of anything labour related. I seem to be in the minority but hoping I make it, want every chance I can get of a healthy happy baby.
Based on my last period my EDD is August 27th (which is what I'm going by) Based on my mid-pregnancy ultrasound my EDD isn't until September 8th. I'm betting I'll go into September.
I have three weeks left and doc doesn't think I will or should go to 40. I've gained about 25 lbs of water weight in the last month and my BP is starting to rise. They're checking to see if there is any medical reason to induce before 39 weeks. I've been anti-induction until the last few days. It's getting so bad I'm slowing coming to terms with it all.
Due Aug 20th, but will be induced before for having high bp before. Dr isn't going to discuss it before my next ultrasound on 8/10 though. Between my husband's stubbornness and my lateness, this baby would be making a grand entrance late in the game. Already figuring this inducing will take a while. Ugh.
Due 8/1 and having had prodromal labour for 2 weeks now i've given up on predicting when true labour is going to start. Could be tonight. Could be ten days from now for all i know.
I'm due August 2nd and everyone at work says soon you will go. But I think baby is happy and feel I will go over but hopefully not to over the due date.
Due date is 8/18 and no one thinks I'm going to make it. Literally at my appointment today a woman asked me when I was due and I told her..she said two weeks tops. I'm currently 36 weeks and high risk so my docs were pretty happy that I've made it this far. I've been having contractions since 5/1. I'm hoping little mama stays put...maybe she will surprise everyone and I'll go over
My stomach has dropped quite a bit but I still think I might make it...I'm not fully prepared but prepared enough so if she does decide to come early we'll be okay I guess!!
Everyone in DHs family keeps hoping baby comes early and its really annoyed me! I just turned 37 weeks today and SIL is already trying to offer me castor oil!! Grr. Im due 8-12. Hoping for him to come no sooner than 8-5 and nooo later than 8-19. Im with @gmd88 the thought of going past my DD makes me go crazy!
I don't think I will make it to August 21. Right now I am hoping to get past this Saturday because DD was born at 36w 1d. Then I am hoping to make it to August because I want this little guy to cook as long as possible and I would like to celebrate our anniversary on the 31st witHout him.
Im pretty positive I'll make it to my due date. I have a gut feeling this little one is going to be stubborn and be late like older brother. My due date is august 31 so Im sure to be one of the very last ones as long as everything continues to go well.
DD came early at 36w3d. I have been in prodromal labor since 35 weeks so I am super stoked this little guy is still cooking (37w2d). My EDD is 8/10 but due to my tachycardia I am scheduled for an induction on 8/5.
Re: will any of us actually make it to our EDD?!
We'll see whose right lol

Two weeks, two weeks, two ooooooo weeeeeeekkkkkss!
Today is my last day at work and I keep thinking what if she doesn't come for another three weeks what am I going to do in this summer heat.
Blessed
