Do you have any odd senses about when your baby will come?

[DeChRi]

Now I will say that the further I get in each pregnancy, the more I convince myself each time that baby will come early, lol. BUT...this time I keep having dreams. With my other 2 I wanted them to come early because I wanted to be done with pregnancy, but I really thought both would be late. Both times I really didn't feel the need to have things ready until 38wks or so.

This time I keep having dreams...one time the baby comes at 36 wks....another at 37 wks....the other dreams are more that something happens (kid breaks an arm, I get sick or something) that keeps me from being able to finish getting ready the last couple weeks. In the dreams I always think...should have had this done by 36 wks! I have these 2-3x a week now.

So I have no idea when this baby will come, but my dream conscience is compelling me to have my ducks in a row by 36 wks.

Anyone else with odd feelings?

I have a feeling he'll be a week to 10 days ahead of due date. We'll see!

the only weird feeling i have is that this baby will be born in the very early morning. wren was born in the middle of the night and all my birth dreams before labor reflected that. every single one of my birth dreams this time have taken place in sunlight.

but i am TOTALLY in the dark about when, gestation wise, this child will come. nor do i have any intuition about if there's a boy or girl in there. with wren, i was convinced she would come on 12/2 and she was born on 11/11 so i was pretty bad with that. however, i was also positive she was a girl (kept having dreams where i had a daughter named wren, which is how we came up with her name) and she was so i guess sometimes my intuition is okay. :

I had a "premonition" about ds's birthdate. Basically two weeks late. He was a week early! Ha! I, too, was not *quite* ready. I hadn't even packed a hospital bag I was so sure he'd be late. I have no feeling this time; I'm just planning ahead the best I can!

[jecombs]

My official EDD is May 10, but I think DS will come on May 14. Although I hope he won't come until May 17! I've got some stuff to do for work that I want to finish on May 14! The reason I think he is coming on 5/14 is because that is the Friday after he was due and my DD was born on the Friday after her EDD. How's that for logic?

[Shannie77]

Part of me thinks the baby will come on the early side, but that is simply going by how I am feeling. And I am feeling DONE! With DD I didn't hit this point until about 36 weeks. My due date was moved from the 30th to the 28th, and I think that the first one was right. I would guess DD2 will arrive between the 25-28th. But who knows! With DD1 her due date was May 7 (moved from May 5) and she came on May 9th.

[IAMommy]

With DS, I had a window of a week where I felt he would come and I hit it dead center. With this one, I am feeling 4/26, but with a window of 4/21-4/28. My intuition about this baby has been pretty bad though. I thought it was a girl, but he's a boy, and I just don't feel the same connection to him I did with DS.

I keep thinking 27th of April but I've got no idea why. Maybe just wishful thinking

[kelly]

My delivery is scheduled for May 5th, but I have had a feeling for at least a month that he is going to come early. No reason to think that, just a "feeling".

[*EarthMama*]

I have had at least a few dreams about lo coming early and am hoping/ feeling that may be the case. However, ds came 2w3d after my EDD!! Sooooo, we shall see when this babe wants to come

I am getting SO excited!!!

that's funny because i have the 28th stuck in my head, but i'm not sure why.

i keep hoping for 5/5 because i think it'd be cool to have one kid born on 11/11 and one born on 5/5.

[Starfish11]

Last night I was not so sure I would make it to 35 weeks--the contractions were intense! I don't think I will make it to 40 weeks but I don't think I will have a baby in the next couple of weeks either.

[thefreckledmama]

In the back of my head, I think he'll make his appearance the last week of April, rather than May (I'm due 5/4). I have 2 kids with birthdays at the beginning and end of Feb., and I have one with a birthday the first of April, so I think my brain wants to assume he'll come the end of April so there will be some kind of symmetry with their birthdays or something. Yeah, I'm a nerd like that.

[AliciaP8]

I have a feeling baby will arrive on May 8th. Not sure why. It's after my official due date. My 12 year old son thinks she will come on May 9th. My hunches so far have been right - gender, implantation and placenta site. I'll be interested to see if I'm right now too.

[Bubblette]

I'm meditating on May 22nd or 23rd, as long as baby is ready to come out of course. We'll see what happens! My mom was early (1-3 weeks) with all four of us so really I'm trying to keep the baby to STAY PUT till 39 weeks.

I would love a 5/5 baby too b/c I think 5/5/10 is an awesome birthday! Plus DS will think that the Cinco de Mayo celebrations are for him

[Jelinifer]

I'm thinking the kiddo will come on 4/28 (my EDD is 5/6) purely because that's DH's birthday and he is adamant that he "doesn't want to have to share his birthday with the baby."

[kitkatkaddoodle]

My first kiddo, I knew for some reason that he would absolutely not come early, and I didn't even fly up my MIL till a few days before the due date, which gave her time to unwind, us to attend my shower, and then I went into labor at 40+2, had him a day later.

This one ... well, from the start, I've felt the baby would come a week early, but I have no idea why. I have May 10th stuck in my brain, but I really hope it's a day or two after since my MIL flies in on the 10th; I'll be 39 weeks even. I hope this one, like last one, waits till Granna gets here and then shows up for her!!

[whalemama17]

I've had a sense of baby coming early but who knows. Is it fairly common for babies to arrive as 37-38 weeks?

[gillibean]

I've kept feeling like this one would arrive on May 15th which is just a couple days after my due date. I'd rather have it come late than early so we'll see. It would be nice if it waited till my parents get here on either the 7th or 10th.
