Guessing/Prediction Game
VesperLove
member
So, we already know when each other's due dates are (if you don't, you haven't read the posted thread at the top) but we're already seeing from many people that due dates don't often mean a whole lot! So, let's have some fun today.
In this post, share your EDD but then also share when you THINK you'll deliver and feel free to include your reasoning (gut instinct, something your doc said, how you're feeling, what happened with previous babies, etc).
This is NOT intended to start asking a ton of questions about whether we think you'll go early, if a particular symptom means anything in regard to early labor ... just what you generally feel is going to happen when it comes to your delivery.
Feel free to also include your prediction on baby weight should you feel like it.
If you think this is stupid, sue me ... I'm bored today.

Re: Guessing/Prediction Game
Predicted delivery: 12/22 or 23
Big sister was over a week late and we induced at 41w1d, born 41w2d. If this one seems to be doing the same, then I want to get induced as close to due date as possible. This is to try to avoid swallowing or inhaling meconium, like happened with big sister. I have my first cervical check tomorrow to see how things are going. With DD, I was 0%/0cm even at the day I got induced.
Weight = over 8 lbs.

EDD Dec 1
I'm bored today too! With the holidays and soon going on maternity leave, I have ZERO motivation to do anything at work!! So this is fun!
EDD: Dec. 27
I think I will go early...week of Dec. 6th I'm thinking? I went into preterm labor last week and was in hospital to stop contractions. I lost my mucus plug and had bloody show at 34 weeks and I also went 3 weeks early with my son. I was 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced at 34 weeks. Having a TON of pressure/cramping and contractions on and off for days.
Me:34 DH:41 1 son: 6 2 step sons: 18, 12
BFP: 4/24/08 - Missed Miscarriage found 5/29/08
BFP: 11/21/08 - DS born 7/13/09
BFP:5/8/14 - Chemical pregnancy
BFP: 4/11/15....stick baby stick!!!
Actual date: 12/19
They're predicting a big babe and I don't think my OB will let me go much longer after my DD. I don't think I will go early.
Predicted delivery: around the 1st
Previous predicted delivery: today
Predicted Delivery: 12/4
Last week at my first check I was 60% effaced and 2 cm dilated and I know I can be at that for a while, but my ob thought it was great that my body did that on its own at about 37 weeks and stated she thinks baby girl will come earlier then EDD. I guess I'm just hoping she comes a bit early! As for weight, I have no idea, but I'm thinking the 8 pound range..

Induction scheduled Nov 24th at 7pm
Prediction: Nov 26, early morning (4am-ish)
Haven't lost MP, 0cm, 70% effaced. DD was in the 24th% at the last growth scan so I think she will be small like I was... 6 pounds, 5oz, 18 3/4 inches long.
My guess: somewhere around 1/3
I'm have constantly measured 2 days early, but he's has proven to be a pretty stubborn little guy (it took 3 ultra sounds for him to move his hands so we could see his sex!). I have no real reason to think he's going to be late, I just do.
He is measuring big and I suspect around 9ish pounds if he's going to be late (fingers crossed he's not that big!).
My guess: 12/4
Husbands guess: 12/1
I've been having stronger and more frequent BH as the days go by. All of my husbands immediate family has been born on a 1st. Gosh I just hope I don't go past my due date!
Prediction 12/17 (both of my lo have been late so far)
Weight: 8lbs 2oz
Length: 20in
I'm thinking a week or two before...I've been feeling straight up awful the past two maybe three days (how I felt with my first before I went into labor).
30 days from today my little guy is due! It's getting so real
EDD 12/25, and my gut tells me she will be right on time, Christmas Day, and I am thinking somewhere around 9 lbs. My bump is HUGE at 36 weeks, and I just have a feeling she will be a big girl. My husband thinks she will be a week early, but I think this is wishful thinking on his part to be home with her by Christmas.
Idk about dilation or effacement yet, but I think he's starting to drop a little!! 37w1d now.
Original Prediction: Today, 11/24
New Prediction: 12/9
Weight: 8 lbs. (at least)
Length: 20 in.
For a little background, I am high risk because I had HELLP Syndrome and Severe Preeclampsia in my first pregnancy. I delivered, via emergency c-section, one day shy of 35 weeks. That would be today for this pregnancy, which is why it was my original prediction. Thankfully, my BP has been pretty good and I'm not having any of the symptoms I had in my previous pregnancy. So I am thinking now that everything is going to go as planned this time around. However, since I am high risk I have been having growth scans every 3-4 weeks to check on the little miss. At 32 weeks, she was estimated to be 4 lbs. 9 oz. Which is 6 oz. shy of what my son was born at at 35 weeks... I know that these are only estimates, so I am taking her size with a grain of salt, but it's still making me think she is coming earlier than the 30th. I have another growth scan on Friday, so we'll see if it looks like she is still measuring large. BTW Dec 9th is my birthday, so I have a feeling we might share a birthday.
Edited to correct weight prediction because I can't type.

Make that a boat for three. Last week my dr said I probably won't make it to Wednesday (tomorrow) but at my appointment yesterday I had only dialated one more cm (bringing total to 2cm 75% effaced) so now i am playing the waiting game being super aware of every little cramp/pain.
She is very active, BH contractions and some painful twinges here and there. I think she is packing up her house and getting ready to move out!!
I'm guessing she arrives this weekend! She was in the 30th percentile a few weeks ago so I am guessing around 7lbs.
I went from being pretty active with good energy to exhausted and uncomfortable pretty much over night so I think we are almost there!!
Prediction: 12/5
Maybe 8.5 lbs.
I was great false labor yesterday and went to the OB. Stress test was fine, I'm not dilated at all, but my cervix has been soft for about a month and a half. Doc said I could go this week, but I highly doubt it. DH will be gone the 5th, so that's my guess. LO is super stubborn.
DD: 12.16
I've had this gut feeling for months that she'll be born sometime around Thanksgiving, which is this week, so we'll see how that goes. Last week at my 36 week appointment my OB checked me and I was at a looser 1cm and 70% effaced. She said at that point she thought it would be two weeks, which would be next week. Either way though, I think she'll definitely be early.
As far as size goes, last time we had a scan was at 32 weeks and she was measuring 3 lbs. 14 oz. & in the 20th percentile. So I definitely think she's gonna be smaller. My guess is somewhere in the 6 lb. range, maybe like 6 lb. 5 oz.?, and about 18 inches long.
I think he'll come around the first week of December. I had DD at 39w2d and this time around my BH have been stronger and I'm 2cm 60% effaced at 36w5d which is what I was when my water broke with DD.
Either way, no way I make it till the 16th. (Doc handed me the after hours labor number at my appointment yesterday for "just in case" because of Thanksgiving)
Weight? 7lb 8oz (DD was 7lb4oz)
Scheduled Csection: 12/1
Previous Prediction: Today
Current Prediction: 11/28
My first came at 37 + 5. My second, thankfully, waited until her Csection date at 38 + 5. I feel this one will be a tad early because I am feeling a little "off" already.
Weight: I tend to have small babies, so I'm thinking a little less than 7 pounds or right at it.
Length: 20 1/4
Predicting: thanksgiving , black friday, or Dec 4th
FTM. Do I get a cookie or something if I'm right?
Prediction: 12/19 via induction
I feel like since I'm so uncomfortable and mierable, my first LO will make me wait until my doctor's chosen induction date. They won't let me go more than 41 weeks. I really hope he's nice enough to me and come on time, if not a couple of days early, but he hasn't dropped and my BH are not getting any more uncomfortable than they have been.
EDD 12/24
Prediction: 12/21
No reason in my prediction, I've just felt that she'll come right before Christmas - DS was 2 days early and his weeks changed on a Thursday like this one does so I think that's shadowing my feelings. I'm just really hoping to not be in the hospital ON Christmas!
Hmm, my EDD has always been based on my LMP. EDD is 12/14 (according to the wheel, one doctor out of 4 read the wheel as 12/12 or 12/13).
TheBump due date calculator also based on LMP calculated 12/10--which stuck in my head, so-my prediction is 12/10. I asked a midwife why the calculator was different than the wheel and she said there are 2 calculations based on LMP and they are generally close but sometimes they vary a little.
I do believe in Murphy's Law--and my predictions for Muphy's Law is that if I am more than 5 days from my EDD the dates would be 11/21 or 11/25.
My husband is predicting 12/18 (who tells their wife she will go past her EDD??!).
Weight I expect 8lbs 8oz to 9lbs 6oz, baby has been at the 75th percentile for weight based on US, I was high 8lbs. I expect baby to be 21 inches long.
Going past 41 weeks scares me because of the meconium aspiration risk so I hope to be induced on 12/19 if I haven't spontaneously gone into labor already. My doctor induces at 41 weeks, but since 12/10 sticks in my head 12/21 makes me nervous.
Prediction 12/18
Both my others were 3+ and 5+ days late
Estimated weight: over 8lbs
