Do you think ....

[ilovebabies]

you'll go into labor in the next week? And when is your actual due date (if you do due dates)?

I'm due March 12 and do not, at all, expect to go into labor in the next week. I'm never early and have none of my typical signs that let me know labor is immenent. As a matter of fact, my little guy this time is continuing to stay high! I probably won't drop until the last minute. With my others, I stayed low the whole pg.

[opera mom]

I am *hoping* he will come by Sunday. My "due date" is not actually till the 8th but my daughter was 10 days early so mentally I guess I have expected him to come a bit early as well. We will see...

[Devaskyla]

I sure hope so, I'll be 40 weeks on Saturday. Zero signs of labour, but I didn't really have any with the boys, either. I think I've said before, I'd be happy to stay pregnant for awhile longer, if it weren't for the fact that I can barely walk & my head is permanently stuffy.

[hedgewitch]

My EDD is the 8th but I feel very done now. I'm also getting a bit panicky as I'm going for VBAC so worried about going overdue as I can't be induced - though I certainly don't want to be. I'd really like this one to pop out naturally in the next week.

I'm praying to the gods he will feel done and ready to be out soon as I am so done!

[dearmama22]

My due date is in a week- March 4th.
I am hoping and praying so bad that I have the baby before then.
I have had no labor signs though so it makes me feel doubtful. I'm off to go walk for 5 miles though so maybe ( hopefully??) that will help!!

[Purple Sage]

The last due date I was given is this Friday (2/27) - the first one was 3/7 - neither of which were based on anything entirely accurate. I think somewhere between the two is probably right. Anyway, I do expect labor to start sometime in the next week based on all the signs I've been having, but I've also been saying that for the last couple of weeks, so who knows? At this point it seems possible I might be stuck in prodromal-labor-land forever.

[Double E]

No- I highly doubt I'll go into labor next week. But then again, I'm not due until March 21st!! But anytime after Friday I can have a homebirth!!

I'm just now starting to get the "I don't really want to be pregnant anymore" feelings. And I still have a ways to go. :

But I am looking forward to reading who goes into labor in the upcoming weeks!!

[L&K'smommie]

I'm not due until Mar 19th and don't really expect to go before then. I'm hoping for the 20th.

[liberal_chick]

I have a feeling I'll go withing 3-4 days either way of my due date, which is March 14. I have absolutely nothing to base it on except a feeling, so I'm sure I'm incredibly wrong.

My MW is 100% certain I'll go on or before March 5 and she says she's rarely wrong about these things. We'll see; I'm not getting my hopes up.

[YayJennie]

No way! I'm only 36 weeks, so even if baby is early, I have a few more weeks to go. In one week I'll be set to have my home birth, but I doubt baby will make an appearance much before 40 weeks.

[amydidit]

DH thinks I'll go into labor between March 3rd and 8th. I am HOPING to go into labor in the next few days. No new signs of anything happening... just really hope for it.

[cyrusmama]

I hope so. My due date according to the OB is 3/5. I did the induction route with my son and don't want to go that way again. I have another accupuncture appointment tomorrow and I am tempted to ask her if she will mark the accupressure points for me so if necessary I can induce without meds. At the least, I am going to start back up with nipple stimulation again (which gave me regular prelabor contrax last week).

[K&JsMaMa]

I predict I'll have this baby weekend after this one coming up.

[mom2p.m.]

My DD is 3/6. My dd was born on her due date and ds the day before his. So part of me feels like, yes, I'll either have or be in labor with this one within the next week.

But on the other hand I feel like I'm not quite ready, like the baby is not big enough yet and I've been under too much stress. Something inside me feels like I have two or three more weeks left to go. yikes!!

I guess in one way I'm thinking with my head and the other is what my body feels. I guess only time will tell which one is right.

[nuwavemomma]

Man I hope not! 37w on Sat. I'd like to go in the week after my EDD honestly.

[justbishop]

I'm 38w 3d (Wed), and just had an OB appt. today...doc said that baby has dropped and that she wouldn't be suprised if we didn't make it to the next appointment. I'm just trying not to let that freak me out!

[Multimomma]

Nope, definitely not (tho a woman can wish huh?)

My due date is the 7th, and I'm honestly not anticipating anything before the 15th. In fact, i wrote it on my calendar, march 15, 6pm, have baby.

But seriously, i'm desperate to get rid of the 24/7 liquid lava in my chest that others like to call heartburn. I've got tears right now from the pain and i'm trying to distract myself by surfing the internut. blech. Need more posts...distract me people!

[lanielayne]

I am thinking no. I have been in prodormal-labor-land for forever now just like lemongrass and am now resigned to stay here. My EDD is not until the 25th and I know that should be pretty right on so maybe it will be around there sometime. I find myself not looking forward to birthing for some reason which might hold things off as well.

[filiadeluna]

I am due March 7th, and while I *wish* she would come early so I can be out of work already, I am leaning toward thinking she will be late. The only thing that is keeping my hopes up for earlier is that I've been getting Braxton Hicks this week with cramping at night that lasts up to an hour, plus lots of diarrhea (TMI), extreme fatigue, etc. Who knows?

[She2dancer]

My due date was 2/22....so I am *hoping* to have this LO in the next week...in fact, I am feeling pretty crappy today ...but I am trying not to rush anything...

I also think I may have lost a large part of my mucus plug this morning...but I didn't have my contacts in and by the time I got my glasses to check it out, my toddler had flushed the toliet for me

So to answer the question, yes I do think I will go into labor in the next week!
