Anyone think they are not gonna make it til Feb.

[JesiLynne]

Due the 9th but really feel like I am gonna go earlier. Ds1 was 36 weeks, ds2 was 9 days late, and dc3 and 4 ( twins ) water broke at 34 weeks.

I don't want to go early, I have to much still to get ready.

Anyone else ?

[nighten]

I think I'll make it to Feb.

[DreamsInDigital]

I know for certain I won't be having a February baby. My EDD is the 10th but the latest I'll have my cesarean is the 30th.

It'll be really weird for me because all of my babies have been born at almost 42 weeks except my DD who was only 4 days past her EDD.

Yeah, this. I'll be having Amelia on January 14th--my other two babies were 40 weeks and 41 weeks, so it's odd to have a month lopped off.

I know I won't make it to February either. I have a blood disorder and am scheduled for an induction on January 29 (38w1d).

Ack! 25 days!

[cagnew]

I don't know... sometimes I feel like all the pressure I am feeling has to mean this babe is coming on the early side... but then I tend to lean towards the pessimistic side and think that he'll come at 42 weeks and 1 day

I would love 38 or 39 weeks! This belly is heavy!

I have learned not to predict. I have gone the whole way with all of them pretty much, so I don't really expect this one to be any different. My 1st was a day after due date(but induced, so likely would have been later). My 2nd was 3 days before due date, and my 3rd was 5 days after due date.

So, my pattern is that I'll go all the way. If I wanted to, I could schedule a Csection right now . . . but I desperately want a VBAC, so I am going to wait it out. We'd love to have her on the 30th of this month, though, because it's dh's birthday.

[Mal85]

I'm just crossing my fingers I have her in February! I'm due at the very end of the month and really want a February baby, so I'm hoping I don't go over. We have LOTS of little ones in the family and February is one of the few months that isn't completely filled with birthdays already.

[tulipmama]

I am due Feb. 2 and am REALLY hoping to make it to Feb. I have so much to do in January-- I am 36 weeks tomorrow but really have so much more prep to do. I am hoping she cooperates and stays in there for me! (But not too long-- don't want to be induced at 43 weeks!)

[BathrobeGoddess]

Who knows! Since I'm counting on getting those extra days I had with all the other kids, my midwife and I have joked that would be a great trick of the universe! After dd birth, I feel like I'm ready for anything, though I would like to get past my dd 14 bday party Jan 30th first!

[firefly mama]

I'm due Feb 12th, but if I make it to February, it would be the longest pregnancy I've ever had. It is certainly possible I suppose, but hard to imagine right now. I'm measuring larger than I EVER got in my past 2 pregnancies too...so even going another 3 weeks is hard to imagine. My warm-up uterine activity got started even earlier this time too. We'll see. The Universe can be tricky.

DD was born at 38w 2d (and was 7lb 4oz)
DS was born at 37w 5d (at 8lb 6oz)

I'm homebirth eligible as of Jan 10 (35.5 wks), but DH doesn't want to stay home until we hit 36 wks. I have a class I'd like to attend on Jan 22nd (37 wks), so I'm focusing on making it to that point. After Jan 22nd, this baby has my permission to choose its day. Jan 26th would be my oldest's half-birthday, so I kinda like that day.

[CandyApple]

I'm not formally predicting.

My first was 41wks, and a long, rough labor. My second was 38wks and super quick and easy with lots of contractions early on (like this time).

I'm also due on the 9th, my dr would like to induce on the 2nd because I had so much trouble delivering my first's head (it was huge). But, like last time, he has agreed to not discuss it until we actually get there and see what is happening then (cervix readiness, measurements, etc.). He knows I'd rather not induce.

Safe and moderately quick is what I'm hoping for, regardless of date. Part of me will be suprised if I make it to February, since we spent so much of this pregnancy fighting preterm labor, but part of me will be fine with a Feb birth. Its cheaper that way for me - less extra time off work before summer vacation!

That surprises me. I can't even go to the birth center, which is an L&D freestanding hospital, but connected to the main hospital (not physically -- but is part of the same group), until I'm 36 weeks complete.

[AKislandgirl]

I'm due Feb 2nd...36 weeks tomorrow! I tend to think I'll go later since this is my first. I just want to wait until Jan 28th when my mom flies into town. After that she can come at anytime!

[dooney]

I'm due the 13th, but something gives me the "early" vibe. I'm pretty sure we'll make it to Feb though.

But that would still get me to February.

[Thefrawg]

I know this is probably the worst reason ever, but I am kinda hoping for a January 31st baby. My first two were born in Sept and April, so my kids birthstones are Sapphire and Diamond. Add a January Garnet, and I have Red White and Blue! Kinda corny, I know, but it would make a pretty piece of jewelry to wear!

Just so you all know, I am NOT planning to induce this baby early just for the jewelry. It is a kinda joke in my family.

Both my boys were a few days early, but both were induced (first by the doctor, second by castor oil at home).

Also, I am still carrying so high I can't even sit comfortably without having feet in my ribs and lungs! I am definitely ready to go into labor with this one!

I guess we will have to see!

[Jenivere]

I'm also due Feb 2nd. I've had mine at 39 weeks, 41w 6d and 40w 2d so I may not make it but there is really no way of knowing.

[Kelly1216]

I'm due the 6th. My dd was born 38w2d, so who knows, I might have a January baby!

When is your dd's actual birthday? My son's is Jan 28, he is turning 13.
