Who's due at the end of the month?

[beansmama]

I'm just curious...all these "so and so has arrived" posts are making me a little jealous...well, jealous and giving me a slight kick in the butt to finish my cooking and sewing those wipes

I'm due on the 21st. Today was HARD. I've felt crampy, short of breath and a little sick most of the day. DD is going to her dads house tomorrow for 4 nights and although I always miss her...i'm so excited to get some much needed rest!

So who else is still waiting?

[leighann79]

I'm not due until July 30th. I've never had one come early yet, so I figure I'll be waiting until at least then. I've told myself probably more likely August 6th (full moon) or so.

My edd is 7/25. With DS1 and DS2, they both arrived at 39 wks on their own. I'm curious to see if this baby will do the same, or if he will torture me and go to my edd or even past due. I'm pretty bad off too. Been having prodromoal labor since this wknd already, it is really going to suck if this drags on for a few more wks...

I am due on the 20th... sometimes I think about how I could be pregnant for several more weeks and it just makes me crazy! I am just taking it day by day. My MW thinks early next week sometime, but I am trying to mentally prepare for anything because nobody really knows!

I'm due the 28th and it is just really really sad to think I could be pregnant into mid-august. *sighs*

I'm due on the 27th. DS was born @ 39 weeks, but he was induced.

Since I didn't go through the natural progression of labor last time, I'm not sure what to expect this time. In the days leading up to my induction, I had BH contrax that were stronger and stronger, and the morning of the day I was induced I know I had a few "real" contrax, but they were still NOTHING compared to my pitocin-induced contractions.

So now...every twinge, every ache, every cramp..I wonder...Is this IT?

I was out walking tonight, and had THREE contrax in a row, each 12 minutes apart, that were the most painful and all-pelvic-encompassing that I've had. But of course, as soon as I stopped walking...they stopped. :

I just have a feeling I'm in for the long haul.

I am due on the 21st. Based on LMP, DS was born at 39-1, and DD was 39-6, but they were both augmented (pitocin after 2 days of early labor with DS, and sweeping membranes the day before with DD) so i really have no idea when I will do, but I am hoping to make it a few days past my dd

July 20th, my 4th came at 38 +4days, so I am kinda hopeful this one will come at that time too (well that leaves him/her like 2 days LOL) will see!!

[bajamergrrl]

I'm due on 7/28 if you take into account my 30-day cycle or I'm due on 7/26 if you just use the EDD wheel. Either way, I just say I'm due the last week of July.

[Angelorum]

I'm due the 26th, though, I've been telling people I'm due in early August. I say it just so hopefully I won't get bugged about still being pregnant. I'm not really expecting to go over, I'm hoping baby arrives right on schedule, but as long as things go as smoothly as they have been, I could survive an extra week for sure.

[Knitgeek]

I am due the 26th.
I am clueless. I was induced my previous two. This time we are going on our own. I am awake at 3:18 am with cramps at the moment that went away if I was not lying down, however are now back as I sit here. I just want to get some sleep!!!!

Yeah, I was induced at 41 weeks with my daughter. At 1 cm they broke my water and put me on pit. It was agony. I have never had 'normal' contractions before. I don't know what it will be like. A friend asked me how long I think my labor will last and I honestly do NOT know. It is all new

I'm due the 25th. I haven't really felt labory (though I think I have had a few contractions, if mild ones) yet so I'm expecting to go full term!

[BlessedEarthMother]

My birthday is the 21st and I am due on the 24th. I'd really love for this baby to have his own birthday so I hope he waits until his due date or later to make his entrance

[penstamon]

I'm due the 25-26th, actually by LMP I'm due on the 30th but I ovulate very early in my cycle and we knew the ovulation date(s). I have been telling people I'm "due" anywhere from now into mid-August but I think I will freak out if August comes and no baby! Since baby dropped at 36w and everyone is telling me I will go on the early side, my determination to bank on August is ruined.

I totally agree that all the babys popping out make me scared/jealous/anxious/happy!

[chrissy]

My edd is 7/29, but my 2 that came on their own came a week "late," so I'm fully expecting to have this baby in early August. Please, oh please don't let it be any later. I am already having thoughts sneaking into my head about this one maybe coming a little earlier but I try to ignore them b/c I don't want to disappointed.

This last month is SO hard.

[pinksprklybarefoot]

I'm due the 15th, but I wouldn't be surprised if the little dude shows up late. So I'll probably be birthing at the end of the month.

Is anyone HOPING you won't end up with an Aug baby? I am, just b/c we already have FOUR family bdays in the month of Aug... I don't want another Aug baby (DS2 is an Aug baby), b/c it is already a crazy month. For sure my sil is having her baby in July (her edd is the 28th), b/c they won't let her go past her edd (something about her placenta, "expiring" b/c she has some medical issue with rheumatoid arthritis), but now I'm wondering if this baby will be difficult and end up being another Aug baby...

[majorsky]

I'm due the 25th and have been having period-like cramps everyday with some fairly strong BH contractions some days. My DD was born at 39 weeks so I've wondered if this one will be early too, but this baby seems more laid back than my first... so maybe it will stay in longer! I'd kinda like to have a July baby (rather than August) but I'm content to hang out PG for a while.

The last few days have been very challenging though... I have so little energy now. I'll get a burst of energy and clean clean clean, then I'm wiped out for hours. Just the thought of running a couple of errands with my three-year-old DD is overwhelming. I want to lie down most of the time, which I'm trying to do because it worked well for me as I prepared for labor in my last PG.

I'm due the 14th, but I have been telling myself that I am due at the end of July since I got pregnant, in hopes of not driving myself batty at the end. Not so much working. This is my first, though, and I would be very surprised if I had a baby in the next week.
