I just have this feeling that my baby will be a January baby. It will be just our luck that we will miss out on the tax deduction for 2015 AND start a new insurance plan period and have to meet our deductible again. I'm a pessimist if you can't tell ;-)
As far as weight goes, I'm guessing 7 lbs 5 oz. I was measuring in the 55th percentile a few weeks ago so I think this baby will be pretty average.
We are also team green and I am predicting boy. DH's family does not seem to produce females, lol.
EDD- 12/12 Predicted due date-12/12 Don't feel like I'll go early, no signs pointing to it either, no BH & no dialation either. Only a little thinning out of the cervix @ checkup today. I also would like baby to stay put until my classes are over on 12/9, plus we're Seahawks fans, so 12/12 would make my husband really happy! (In reality I actually feel like I'll go over & hope I don't end up getting induced!) Predicted weight- 8.5lbs (was 6.6 at US last week at 36w5d & we make big babies in my family, so I'm just hoping for smaller than 9!)
No labor signs - zero zilch, nada. I REALLY don't want to go past due. I also have GD, but controlled with diet and OB won't induce for that. I plan on doing lots of walking and sex once we get past 37w.
I think I will be early because he is measuring big and while he hasn't dropped yet I have carried low most of the pregnancy. The last few days I have had a lot of pressure and a few random contractions. The Drs face and the way he said "oh big baby" on Friday make me think sooner is better. This also makes me think I will have a 9/10lb baby. I haven't had any cervical checks yet but I feel like something is changing so we shall see if they do one tomorrow. I really would like him to come over this weekend as my friend is home, it would be cool to have him the same week as my birthday, and I wouldn't have to worry about trying to get in touch with my BF during hunting season (starts on Monday and means he has no cell service).
EDD: Dec. 10 Prediction: Dec. 1 if not this weekend.
With DD she was 10 days early and I felt great. This time I have been having contractions and BH and have just felt crummy so I think he will come early. He is measuring big so I am estimating 8-9 lbs.
My Prediction: 12/25, Christmas day! I really don't want my little one to be born on Christmas because it's such a big day already! I don't want his birthday getting lost in the shuffle. BUT I'm thinking it'll be Christmas because that's the full moon and I've heard lots of women go into labor during a full moon.
My Prediction: 12/25, Christmas day! I really don't want my little one to be born on Christmas because it's such a big day already! I don't want his birthday getting lost in the shuffle. BUT I'm thinking it'll be Christmas because that's the full moon and I've heard lots of women go into labor during a full moon.
My Hope: Before 12/20
No idea on dilation or effacement.
Interestingly enough, tomorrow is also a full moon!
I've been having growth ultrasounds every 4 weeks due to low PAPP-A, and they were estimating around 6.5 lbs two weeks ago. I was 7 lb 7 oz at birth, actually. The ultrasounds were also showing an EDD of 11/27 instead of 12/6. As far as the date, I know when I conceived and implanted so I think I'm running a little early. I'm still very very active and have been feeling completely normal, thankfully. Definitely some BH here and there. I was 1 cm and 50% effaced 2 weeks ago, and I have another check tomorrow. We shall see!
I've always felt like I was going to pop earlier than my due date. She's been measuring slightly ahead at all of the ultrasounds, plus I was having preterm contractions quite a bit. Honestly, I didn't think I would make it to thanksgiving!! Yet here we are!
Love this idea! And love reading everyone's predictions! I'm excited to see how close we all are!
I'll play! EDD was December 2nd, but LO was born November 9th.
I thought she would've been born a little late. (Since I passed the milestone of when DS was born.) I thought she would've been born probably 12.05.15, weighing over 8lbs and 22" long. At my last OB appt (at 36weeks), I was 2cm dilated and cervix was not thinned at all. He said it could be any day or weeks before baby was born. She was born at 36w5d.
Married 05.19.07 | Together since 03.11.00 | Dom Born 02.06.12
I'm feeling the 15th. Doctor hasn't said anything but I feel like she might be coming a little early. Or at least between the 15-19. Although it would be fun for a Christmas baby, or if she decides to be late maybe even New Years.
I thought I was going to go early because DD was born at 36 w. But I was wrong. So now I'm thinking either Thanksgiving (my husband thinks I'll start going into labor with the full moon tomorrow night) or 12/3 because it's my MIL's bday who I don't particularly like and I think God has a sense of humor.
I'm not measuring very big so I'm thinking baby is maybe 6 lbs 8oz or something like that. Her sister was 5lbs even at 36 w/ 1d. OB thinks I'll keep having smaller babies which is fine with me.
Prediction: if not soon due to the full moon tomorrow night (I don't quite believe it, but eh), I'm thinking probably 11/12. It's the day of my first final exam and with the way things have been going, it would be my luck.
As for weight, I'm thinking 8+ lbs. I was 10lbs 11oz at 40w+5d, and SO was 6lbs and a few oz (I don't remember exactly) at 35w+3d. I'm terrified.
12/3 is my brother's birthday and DH's grandmother's birthday. Also, DH is a band teacher and has his winter concert that night. I can't go, as I teach in the same district and my doctor has taken me out of work as of 12/2. It would be my luck that I will go into labor right as the concert starts.
EDD: 12/25 Prediction: 12/27-12/31 I think he'll be BIG like 8 or 9 pounds!
I have thought I would go a bit late the whole time. Also, my EDD is based on last menstrual period calculations and not when I ovulated, so I think my EDD should be around 12/28 anyway. I would love it if he would please be born before January 1 for tax reasons... but of course I will be happy happy happy whenever we get to meet him!!
EDD: 12/4 C section scheduled: 11/30 Predicting: 11/27
Edit: She came 11/26 Thanksgiving morning!
I was two weeks early with LO so I thought I would be with this one too but that would've been this past Friday and I'm still pregnant! Trying to figure out if I'll make it until the 30th. Started having contractions and back labor pains yesterday.
I have no idea, babygirl has been very low and head down, testing me for a while now and she's back and forth with growth spurts. My luck she will be late like my first, but my husband has full on predicted everything soooo...
His predictions EDD: 12/24 Prediction: 12/21 Weight: 7lbs 2oz Height: 18 3/4 Time: between 7-8pm
I'm 36 weeks, had an appointment today and haven't been checked for dialation or effacement, my husband is just really excited (and prob over me being annoying and pregnant!)
EDD -12/28 I think I'll be a couple weeks early like my all my mom's births. Everything's gone smooth so far and little dude has been head down and ready to go soon.
But if I'm wrong and it goes late into January, I won't be too disappointed! I was very wrong about the gender too !
I have 2 EDDs: Dec 30 & Dec 26 My family doctor told me Dec 30 but my OB has told me I have always measured ahead so she is expecting Dec 26.
I really want baby to stay in there until 40 weeks. But I have over 30 contractions a day (BH I expect) and a guest OB warned me to expect baby even earlier, not giving me a definite reason why. My symptoms have always appeared a couple weeks earlier than they are supposed to be, like fetal movements and such.
So my guess is Dec 18. I don't know why this day, but it just seems like it's gonna be around then.
I also think baby will weigh around 7 lb 14 oz. I don't know what I'm having, but I somehow believe it's a girl. Even though everyone tells me it's gonna be a boy. I'll be happy either way!
For some reason 12/20 has just been in my brain from the beginning. No reason as to why. I measure exactly on date every visit. I am guessing a 8 lb 3 oz. baby....
My luck I will get to 41w and need to be induced......
Two of my current 3 have been a week or more late, and with the other one, I had a strong feeling that she would be early. I don't have that feeling this time, so I'm expecting to go late again. I'm really hoping to not be in the hospital on Christmas Day, as I want to be home with my big kids for that. I'm hoping that if I haven't delivered by Christmas that LO will hang out inside until the 29th of Dec. I think that would be neat because MH and I are both born on the same day in our months, and so are DD1 and DS. If this baby comes on the 29th, DD2 would have a number partner too, and I think that would be cool.
I'm not sure about the size, but am hoping for somewhere around 7 lbs like DD2 and DS, not 8 like DD1!
EDD: December 9 Induction date week of 12/2 ( I'll find out the exact day at my 3:30 appointment)
However she can come whenever she wants I am so ready!!! My mom thinks 11/26 or 11/27 she says it's just a gut feeling. I've been ready for weeks-- I'm so excited!
My DD was 6 weeks early so I'm past that and I have said since I POAS that this baby would come on 11/28 because I'm in AL and we take the iron bowl very seriously so I have joked from the start my water would break during the game and I would have to drive myself to the hospital.
EDD 12/15/15
Due date I'm thinking 12/20/15
Weight 8lb 9oz
Both DH and I were both 5 days late and his birthday is the 20th of December. And weighted because DH was about 8lbs I was 8.5lbs and my brother and sister were 10 and 11 lbs so I am hoping 8.9 lbs is the biggest he will be!
EDD: 12/4 Prediction: 11/27, but after an uneventful first cervical check today, 12/10 maybe?
I'm 39 weeks on Friday and had my first check today. I got nothing -- no dilation, no effacement, baby hasn't dropped. I'm bummed.
Struggling with wanting her out so I can meet her and be done being pregnant, but also want to keep her in, because starting on Jan 1st, my maternity leave will be fully paid (vs 60%).
For no other reason than a gut feeling. I selfishly want her to be born right before Xmas because both sides of our family are so freaking demanding about that holiday.
Furthermore DH and I were both a week late...so both mom and MIL think I will go a week late, but we were born when pregnancy was considered 39 weeks... Which means we were both born around 40 weeks, so by today's standards that's on time, right? I can't get them to understand and then I question my own sanity.
Well...i am due dec 1st. Being my ninth the dr said oh you wikl go early...haaa! I was only 2 cms and 80% effaced. Babys head down there good but she didn't give me a station. Baby is probably around 8 pounds. No matter what baby will be here by dec 3rd. Thats as far as she will let me go. I am clueless. Thought it was gonna be yesterday because when she stripped my membranes i had tons of bloody show! Still having it but no regular contractions. Sigh.
EDD: 12/29
Predicting: 01/06
Just a gut feeling! My husband has the same feeling...I like this thread. @eliseandbaby I'm interested to see if any of us will be right too!
At 36 weeks I was 3cm dilated and 50% effaced. My original prediction was 12/16 but my doctor doesn't think I'll make it past next week. My cervix is short and soft and I have had mild contractions. Hoping I can keep him in there another two weeks at least!
EDD: 12/06 MyGuess: 11/30 why? because ive started having very mild contractions on and off i could just be super anxious and ready to have him lol who knows but hey of not its still only a week and a half till D Day
Only because the 9th is hubby's bday. He's been gypped so many birthday presents because he's a Christmas baby, so I think it would be fun for his daughter to be born on his bday, which is what he's hoping for. Also my mom, a nurse, got the week before my due date off to come visit, and it would be nice for them to meet. My dad says near the 11th because it is a new moon. My brother says exactly one week late on the 20th. Thanks, brother. Lol!
Scheduled c-section is for December 30th. But for some reason I'm guessing I'll go around the 18th or so. This has been the hardest out of my 3 pregnancies so I'd like to think it's my bodies way to telling me to prepare for an earlier delivery.
I'm being induced on Monday, so she will either be here Monday or Tuesday. I have a 50/50 shot of being right. I'm guessing 9 lbs 9 oz. I'm being induced because of her size, and I think she'll be the same size as her big brother....hopefully not any larger!!!
This is probably just me kidding myself. All the women in my family tend to have big babies (around 8lb) so I'd really like this little dude to make an appearance sooner rather than later. So far, he's measuring a week ahead, so we'll see...

Predicted/ 15/12
I'm not sure why I just have a gut feeling about that day! I also think he'll be about 7 and a half pounds
I was 7.7 and my SO was 7.8 pounds.
EDD: 12/6
Prediction: 12/2
Weight: 7 lb 7 oz
I've been having growth ultrasounds every 4 weeks due to low PAPP-A, and they were estimating around 6.5 lbs two weeks ago. I was 7 lb 7 oz at birth, actually. The ultrasounds were also showing an EDD of 11/27 instead of 12/6.

EDD: 12/2
I thought I was going to go early because DD was born at 36 w. But I was wrong. So now I'm thinking either Thanksgiving (my husband thinks I'll start going into labor with the full moon tomorrow night) or 12/3 because it's my MIL's bday who I don't particularly like and I think God has a sense of humor.
I'm not measuring very big so I'm thinking baby is maybe 6 lbs 8oz or something like that. Her sister was 5lbs even at 36 w/ 1d. OB thinks I'll keep having smaller babies which is fine with me.
Prediction: 12/3
12/3 is my brother's birthday and DH's grandmother's birthday. Also, DH is a band teacher and has his winter concert that night. I can't go, as I teach in the same district and my doctor has taken me out of work as of 12/2. It would be my luck that I will go into labor right as the concert starts.
EDD: 12/25

I think he'll be BIG like 8 or 9 pounds!

C section scheduled: 11/30

Edit: She came 11/26 Thanksgiving morning!
I was two weeks early with LO so I thought I would be with this one too but that would've been this past Friday and I'm still pregnant! Trying to figure out if I'll make it until the 30th. Started having contractions and back labor pains yesterday.

Prediction: 12/13 (1 week early)
Mostly wishful thinking! My dd was born the day after her due date so I'm guessing I'll end up closer to 40 weeks this time too!
Induction date week of 12/2 ( I'll find out the exact day at my 3:30 appointment)
However she can come whenever she wants I am so ready!!! My mom thinks 11/26 or 11/27 she says it's just a gut feeling. I've been ready for weeks-- I'm so excited!
