Here is the thread

For this child:

The day you deliver, outside will be rainy. Your baby will arrive in the early evening. After a labor lasting approximately 40 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 9 pounds, 8 ounces, and will be 20-1/2 inches long. This child will have light green eyes and curly blonde hair.

Reality: Great weather, getting dark at 6:10pm. Pre-labor and labor around 40 but active labor was about 8hours. Baby girl 7.2lb and 18 ½ inches with grey eyes and brown hair.

The day you deliver, outside will be cold. Your baby will arrive in the early afternoon. After a labor lasting approximately 48 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 6 pounds, 9 ounces, and will be 17 inches long. This child will have medium violet eyes and a little patch of red hair.

Reality, it was in the mid twenties (celcius) so cooler than usual, I will give her that. The labor was 38 hours long and she was born around 6:30am. It was a girl! but she was 3.6 kilos (about 7.5 pounds) and 19 inches. She had dark grey eyes and brown hair...but hair!

The day you deliver, outside will be windy. Your baby will arrive in the late morning. After a labor lasting approximately 30 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 15 pounds, 4 ounces, and will be 21 inches long. This child will have medium gray eyes and a little patch of auburn hair.

Reality: The day I delivered was cold and sunny. She was born at 12h19, so I guess late morning. Labor lasted 36 hours and I did have a girl. She weighted 6 lbs 13 on (thank god....seriously 15 lbs ) and was 19,5 in long. I guess you could say she had medium gray eyes and had brown hair....

considering she told me I was having a girl and I already knew it was DS, not very close.

The day you deliver, outside will be dark. Your baby will arrive in the early afternoon. After a labor lasting approximately 16 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 4 pounds, 12 ounces, and will be 22 inches long. This child will have light blue eyes and barely there red hair.

well, it was dark (115am) but not the early afternoon. labour was 10hrs. it was a boy but he was 8lbs 12oz not 4lbs 12oz...lmao 4lbs wrong! 21.5" long, so close. dark eyes and brown hair...wrong there too!

The guess:

The day you deliver, outside will be cold. Your baby will arrive in the evening. After a labor lasting approximately 30 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 6 pounds, 14 ounces, and will be 16-1/2 inches long. This child will have light green eyes and a lot of auburn hair.

The reality:
It was evening (born at 11:33pm) and cold. Three hour labor. A boy (the only thing she got right) was born at 8 pounds 12 ounces, 21.25" with piercing blue eyes and light blonde hair.

"The day you deliver, outside will be hot. Your baby will arrive in the evening. After a labor lasting approximately 17 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 7 pounds, 10 ounces, and will be 16 inches long. This child will have light brown eyes and a little patch of auburn hair."

weather, time of day, labor length & gender all fairly accurate!

Dominic was born at 5pm, the day was warm & sunny for November, labor was about 18 hours. Definitely a boy. now the funny part is I scoffed at how small the predicted size was, but he came 6 weeks early and was actually lighter (but longer) than predicted: 5lb7oz & 18" long. Eyes were cloudy blue & brown hair, though now his hair seems to have red highlights (but eyes are definitely blue).

This was mine:

The day you deliver, outside will be misty. Your baby will arrive in the early morning. After a labor lasting approximately 19 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 6 pounds, 4 ounces, and will be 17 inches long. This child will have medium brown eyes and a lot of blonde hair.

Outside it was cold and clear. He was born at 11:45-ish. Labour was 6 hours. He was a boy. 8 lbs, 2 oz, 20 inches long with blue eyes and a peach fuzzing of redish brown hair.

The prediction:

The day you deliver, outside will be shiny. Your baby will arrive in the late morning. After a labor lasting approximately 17 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 8 pounds, 14 ounces, and will be 22-1/2 inches long. This child will have light gray eyes and a lot of blonde hair

The reality:

I labored overnight and gave birth at 8:30 in the morning. It was pretty sunny. Just shy of 12 hours. Baby was 7lbs 2oz and 20 inches long. A girl! She had very blue eyes and little bit of brown hair.

Mostly wrong!

The day you deliver, outside will be misty. Your baby will arrive in the early evening. After a labor lasting approximately 7 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 10 pounds, 10 ounces, and will be 22-1/2 inches long. This child will have light brown eyes and curly blonde hair.

Reality:
It was sunny and in the 50s/60s that day. She was born at 7:00 AM on the dot, and my labor started mid afternoon the day before. She was 7 lb 4 oz (not even close to 10 lb!), 19.25 inches with red hair (lots of hair, and it is curly when wet) and blue eyes.

Wow- mine was pretty dead-on

I'm glad someone posted this b/c I recently came across it in my computer and was taken aback by how correct it was!

Prediction:
What she senses for you
The day you deliver, outside will be overcast. Your baby will arrive in the morning.
After a labor lasting approximately 19 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 6 pounds, 12 ounces, and will be 20 inches long. This child will have blue eyes and some very fine hair.

Reality:
It was a super-foggy night (you can call that overcast, right?). She arrived at 2:05 am. My labor was *exactly* 19 hrs. She was a girl (surprise- totally thought I was having a boy!) She weighed 6, 12 and was 20 inches long. Her eyes were blue and she had very fine hair.

How about that?!?
