Birth Predictions « Back to Group Discussions

[OceansEve]

Maybe you guys already started a thread like this, sorry I was late to the game this time around :) My past DDCs usually had a thread like this, just a way to pass the time. You post day and time you think you'll give birth. If you didn't find out sex you can also post guesses on what babe is. Then once you do give birth we compare :) Just silliness if anyone wants to take part :)

Thyme's got the right idea I knew I was forgetting something, size guesses are welcome too!

My guess for this LO is labor will start on Thanksgiving and she will be out on the 23rd at 8:32 in the morning......

Oh size! I knew I was forgetting something, I guess..... 8 lbs 9 oz. 22 1/4 "

It's the 25th and I'm STILL waiting!! AGH! I'm obviously not psychic! :)

Well, I had contractions for 4 hours today, so I'm going to say Sat or Sun, in the middle of the night, and that it will be a boy.

[fayebond]

I guess Nov 4th in the middle of the day, I've never had this much BH ever and even though that's 3 weeks early I feel this LO is just ready to come out any minute!  Gender, I'm guessing boy

My mother guesses Nov 20th, morning

My brother votes Dec 2 or later,  after his flight gets in that morning.  As you can imagine I think this is sweet but not ideal! :)

[Thyme Mama]

I'll play! I am going to guess for either November 2nd or 11th. Evening time. Over 8 lbs. 20"+. Girl.
 

[babychak]

I'm guessing middle of the night on November 18th. I think he will be 8 lbs and a few ounces.

[kateaton]

My guess is November 8 around 3 in the afternoon.  I think she will be around 9 pounds- give or take a few ounces.

[finnegansmom]

I'm guessing November 10th, 2-4am, 10#1oz (girl?)

Dare I say it?  After 3 boys I should assume it's a boy but I can't help thinking sometimes, maybe it's a girl.

[Bmorefarmgirl]

November 6 at 6am. 8lb and change

I already know its a girl but for some reason I frequently think of her as a him. Probably because I have a boy already.

[guen]

I'm afraid to make any predictions about timing. I'm too paranoid.  I also have absolutely no feelings one way or the other whether this baby is a boy or girl. I never doubted for a second that my third was a girl and she was.  I was absolutely certain my fourth was a boy, and she wasn't.  So my powers of gender prediction aren't very reliable anyway, LOL. 

I do predict this baby will be large though.  At least as large as my largest baby, at least 7+ lbs. 
 

[ananas]

Ok, I'll play...I predict I'll go into labor the evening of the 6th and she'll be born early in the day (like near sunrise) on the 7th. 7 lbs 10 oz, 20 inches long. 

[sere234]

I say November 3rd, sometime in the early morning and he'll be around 8 pounds.

[MrsKoehn]

Oh dear. I don't know. Lol I will say Nov 19th (12 days over) just bc that's my youngest brother's bday and I wouldn't want it that day. Lol I say boy (though I keep feeling girl too....). Going to be small. If baby stays that long, um, 19" and 7 lbs. for a boy and 18 1/2" for a girl and 6.5 lbs.

[oikophile]

I'm going to say 11/12. I know a disproportionate number of people born on that day. (Phenotypic) boy, 8+ pounds.

[OceansEve]

Since I'm awake and can't go back to sleep I thought I'd compare predictions to outcomes :p I was way off on mine obviously!! :)

Wow was I off! November 19, 5:53 am, and 10lb 13oz. Obviously I am not a great predictor

Well, you guessed Thanksgiving Day so you still have a few days before your guess is completely off!

I was pretty off on the date! I went into labor the evening of the 16th and Adelaide was born early afternoon on the 17th. Weight was semi-close at 7 lbs 3 oz, and I got length right.

Mine was born that wed at 4:10 am and was a boy.

I couldn't have been more wrong! November 17th, morning time, 7 lb 1 oz, 19", boy.
