I have a feeling some babes are going to be getting here soon!

We're all getting so close! This is about the time it seems that the early babies start making their debut.

I know, wild to think about. I'm 7 weeks to full term and panicking about being ready. There's so much I still want to do before she's born.

Well, not only am I at the very end of the month, but I just know that this baby is happy inside me right now. I don't think I would ever go early. I feel so behind everyone! I am 28 weeks today.

I'm with you Spring Sun. I am due on the 24th, so, I am only a few days earlier than you. Not to mention, the fact that this is my first and the likely hood of having the baby early seems very doubtful to me. Let's just hope that we don't become part of the September babies.

I'll be 30 wks on Sat and some days 10 wks seems so close and other days it seems like forever still! But I know it will go fast...

I'm so excited to meet this new little guy!

I'm also not due until August 25th, so it's kind of crazy to think of this babe coming anytime soon. But also kind of reassuring to know that if it did for some reason...most likely he or she would do just fine!

My mom had 4 children, and 3 of them were 2-3 weeks "late". And she says with those three she knew exactly when she had conceived. Anyone know if it tends to run in families?

Who in the world ever wants to be that early? Sad fact is though some people are

My first born was born at 35 weeks.

My 3rd was born at 34.5 weeks, but came out just fine and came home with me from the hospital. I hope you were that lucky.

We were very lucky! Though she did have to stay in for a week due to infection (which now I question but I had no idea about birth and was very very scared for my baby).

Because of that though and my bodies reaction now there is some concern I may go early with these twins. So hey I may be one of the mamas holding their babies in a few weeks though really I'd rather not!

I hope we don't have any babies born until at least July. No preemies please!!

I too hope all of our little bugs stay put til their ready for their debut!

I am 32 weeks on sat.. and my due date is the 2nd... Theres a full moon on the 4th of august... so im thinking he may come then. I at least trust he wont come AFTER that since theres no way the moon won't bring him out! I hope he comes exactly when hes supposed to and not a moment earlier!!!!

I am rather surprised I am still pregnant. I was just hoping to see the third trimester. I was thinking I'd have these babies by now... based on my history. If I make it to 35 weeks like I did with my 4 and 7 yr old, that's only three more weeks!

Another 32 weeker with an August 2nd DD.

My feeling is that we're not making it to August, and I'll probably start thinking "any day now" when the middle of July hits. Joseph was born 3 days before his DD weighing in at 9 lbs.

I am 32 weeks (almost) and my HB MW will attend me with some stipulations at home at 36 weeks. That leaves me 4 weeks to get through at bare minimum.

Natural: Wow - 4 weeks - seems so close!!!!! What happens if you go into labour before 36 weeks, out of curiosity?
post #19 of 29
I spent Thursday with the med-pros due to some ptl... fingers crossed the meds do their stuff and this babe waits till August!

(However, I wouldn't mind if babe decided the first week of August was just right. As a vbac I face a pretty solid 41 week deadline so a little early is a lot better than a little late in my book).

I would have to go to the hospital. Local with midwives at 35 weeks and before that I would be at a larger hospital in a town 20 minutes away. If my placenta does not move I would have to have a C section. If I KNEW no matter what labor was going to happen, I would probably show up pushing. My babe is already engaged and the placenta is really not an issue. Just has to do with Hospital politics I guess.
