what a fence-straddler I am!

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
My 'technical' due date is Feb. 25th. But it turns out that my uterus is quite the comfy spot and my babes like to hang out in there as long as possible (in my un-crunchier times I was induced at two weeks 'overdue' with the first two) .. all three of my girls were 'late' .. And since Feb. 25th is *very* close to March.. well.. it looks like I'll most likely be having a March baby -- again!! (yes, I do feel a tinge of guilt with this... my older two both have birthdays in March also -- the 3rd and 14th!).

I think there's something about my birthday that gets my uterus all fired up (my birthday is June 1st... I've had more than one nurse comment on getting a 'birthday present' with my first two because of the timing with conception).

So I hope you don't mind if I hang out here too.. even though my EDD is really in Feb...

BTW, my name is Judy and I currently have three little girls: Madeline, 7.25; Katherine, 5.25; and Lucy, 3.5. ... oh, and of course this I'm-still-trying-to-come-to-grips-with-this #4

Welcome Judy! I carry my babies "over" too. Congrats on your pregnancy!

from another potential fence straddler here--I go the opposite way, my first was born at 38 weeks, my second at 37; if I follow that pattern again, that puts me birthing toward the end of February, so I've been pondering poking my nose in over at that DDC too. Welcome, and congrats!

I'm due 3/2, but all but my first have gone before my due date, so I'll most likely have a February babe. Then again...this is a different father so who knows! I wonder how much the fathers genes influence that too...I know my friends mom had a different father for her 6th child (um...and not under good circumstances, concidering she was cheating ><) and all her other labors had been VERY long. That baby was born in 2 hours O_o

Me, too, I now realize!

I'm in the same boat as you. I had originally thought my dd was March 11, but then I started noticing that all the other mamas were due before me but conceived after me. I realized that I had counted 40 weeks from when I ovulated and not from my last AF. So when I count from my last AF, that puts my dd at Feb. 25th, though I do usually go at least a few days longer. I suspect I will this time, too, unless I really do have twins in there, as my daughter keeps insisting I do.
