WELCOME TO JUNE! Where 35 weeks is full term!

WinniethePoohsPants · May 2016

SO now that you know, tell us your new DD! Apparently I'm due THIS SATURDAY! Woot woot, can't wait! Hooray for unbacked science!!!!

lolonvive · May 2016

@WinniethePoohsPants holy moly!
We should have merged with May a long time ago.

likeabel · May 2016

Whoa! Next Tuesday! So I guess my RCS should be scheduled for this week!

gray51015 · May 2016

If 35 weeks is the new full term then I am 3 days past my estimated due date.

MamaNicoleof3 · May 2016

Ummmmm, guise? I'm overdue by 6 days. Good thing I have my 36-week appt tomorrow. Hope I can get induced this week!

HBamama2B · May 2016

I'm now due next Friday! Just called the folks to plan their trip down and fixed my shirt!!

Cant wait to have my little guy home and in his cute outfit next weekend so I can share pics on all my social media! oh... Oh, wait.

BabyboyS2016 · May 2016

YESTERDAY?! Yesterday was my due date? Dammit son, stop making your mother suffer with your selfishness!

goldie987 · May 2016

May 20th! Woo, the end is so close! I love that babies have all their systems basically functioning by 35 weeks, it'll make my life so much easier

Eta - My ILs will be so pleased! They've had a vacation scheduled for around my due date since before I got pregnant that they were considering cancelling so they could make the 6 hour trip to our house at a moments notice. If I can just induce at 35 weeks, they won't have to worry about that at all! The convienance just keeps coming!

NLewis1 · May 2016

Tomorrow. WHY HAS MY DR NOT INFORMED ME OF MY NEW DUE DATE?!?!

kwife15 · May 2016

No, no, I thought I had all this time you guyz!

crdo · May 2016

OMG. I had all these plans to prep for the entire month of June. AHH!

Palisson · May 2016

I just called and scheduled us all for inductions this week! I was able to get you in with my OB's team, because they care about us and our babies and they can do c-sections really quick!

I am ordering each of us matching teeny tiny onesies for our babies to wear in the NICU!

I Love My NICU Nurses Onesie Available in four colors NICU Graduate Miracle Baby

Anyway- I think we can move over to a Premie Board!!!!!!

SO EXCLUSIVE!

PS: Claire's Boutique will be stopping by the NICU on Thursday to pierce your baby's ears for free- but you have to get induced by Wednesday evening to get in on it!

splsmama2016 · May 2016

I'm also 2 days late. Rut roh.

artlea2013 · May 2016

But, but, I have baseball tickets next Saturday, I can't possibly be due two days before that. Meh, I guess if the little guy comes Thursday or Friday, I'll just haul him outside for an unknown number of hours in the heat, bugs, noise, etc. Science probably says that's alright too.

Sydvicious08 · May 2016

Yaaaasss only 9 days left!

WinniethePoohsPants · May 2016

I'm going to see if I can get away with scheduling my induction on June 1st, just because ya know 6/1/16 is cool. And also because baby is done cooking at 35 weeks anyway!!!!

Lyette1206 · May 2016

Gah, I'm so jealous. 2 more weeks to go. Unless I go early? Two weeks early isn't that bad.

GinnyJ2012 · May 2016

Sunday! Good thing I'm almost done with her nursery!!!!

mar101483 · May 2016

35 weeks!!! Woowhoo! I'll get to go to my best friends wedding for sure now and if babies in the nicu still, i won't even have to find a babysitter! It's 3 days after my due date. But I was planning on inducing sooner, so I could go, or getting shots to keep him in longer, so I can go and steal engorge myself with all her delicious wedding food, while being prego. Thank goodness for doctors who induce out for convenience for mothers!

MynaBird · May 2016

If 35 weeks is fine, 33 is mostly fine, right? Sign me up, I'll go today!

goldie987 · May 2016

@MynaBird totally! The suck/swallow/breathe reflex isn't 100% functional in all 33 weekers but that's nothing a little ng feeding tube can't fix

MynaBird · May 2016

@Sgoldberg247 Well, that's what the NICU's for, right? Science FTW!

mrsschmity · May 2016

I'm due June 11th, but going to call my OB and ask her if we can schedule an induction for June 7th - because that's my birthday and it would be totes awesome if me and baby shared the same birthday. Oh, and H is scheduled to leave for his annual fishing trip on June 11th. I'd hate to interfere with his plans by, you know, having our first child.

Palisson · May 2016

@mrsschmity I read your post as "H is scheduled to leave for his annual fisting trip"

Also, @MynaBird and @Sgoldberg247 my fetus has lots of hiccups- so, he's already breathing in there and ready to come out! Science®

goldie987 · May 2016

@Palisson mine's got the hiccups as we speak. Do you think she's using some sort of Morse code to tell me she's ready and breathing well enough now that she's over 32 weeks?

Palisson · May 2016

@mrsschmity
Start a poll: "Have bebe on my birthday or not?" Hey guys- I am in a pickle! I have the opportunity to get induced on my birthday and I want to have my baby on my birthday so that we can share that special day, birthday week and birthday month but I'm afraid that by 2017 I'll come to resent sharing my birthday with the baby. It's MY DAY! What should I do?

Palisson · May 2016

@Sgoldberg247
I AM actually a doctor- but not the kind that specializes in Morse code.

I'd say call your local radio station and ask the DJ or start a new thread.

As a Juris Doctor, I advise that you keep the baby in for now.

Emztron500 · May 2016

My birthday actually legit falls right at 35 weeks. We'll be twinsies! So exciting. Maybe I can make it out of the hospital in time to enjoy a birthday cocktail!

tjenkins528 · May 2016

Shoot, I'm already a week overdue. Welp, I'll take @Palisson up on her OB's induction. Woohoo I can have a margarita for Cinco de Mayo!

Why wait? Drink now. It's about what's convenient for you!

VikingGirl12 · May 2016

I'm so frustrated that I'm 4 days past my due date. Ugh, her lungs may even be a little more developed now, bummer!

almostpriceless · May 2016

I'm 33w5d. Do I have to wait until 35? That's over a week away. The forecast is promising temps in the high 80's to low 90's this weekend. Baby and I will both obviously die if I can't have a cocktail in this heat. Induction is best, right?

ahernandez16 · May 2016

I'm late to this party so I have nothing witty to add. I just love all of you.

Just make all your friends and family who are grateful for the convenience of your scheduled birth bring you cocktails. The hospital is totally fine with it and your newborn will definitely be cool with it.

Mr0616 · May 2016

I'm so glad this is the case!!! I was terrified of my child being a pearl, but he will be an emerald now. Phew. I mean, pearls just don't look good with my complexion. If ya'll have not read up on the birthstone science, I highly suggest posting a thread asking other members on this. Googling it is just too darn hard!

HighFive16 · May 2016

I should probably shower and pack my hospital bag!

MamaNicoleof3 · May 2016

I KNEW I should've been induced at 32 weeks, if only to get in on the amazingness that are diamonds.

GinnyJ2012 · May 2016

Oh good then I can have Emeralds to go with ruby and sapphires!
