My first was born when the moon was 4 days old, then 5, then 6. Soooo, February 17 the moon will be 7 days old!

We shall see!

Anyone want to play, lol

OK. So DS was born at 22 days, so this one supposedly will be here at 23 days or March 5. One day past her EDD. We'll see.

I'm not sure I read how to do it right, lol. I think they are supposed to match?
Oh we'll, mine seems to have a pattern, I'll go with it.

My son was induced so I have no idea when he would have come. But, I went into labor with my daughter on the new moon... And the "moon mate" is the full moon and the full moon for march is the 27th which is the day I was imagining giving birth on! (One week past edd).

Thanks for sharing. smile.gif

Oh, you're right. Well then, maybe she'll come on her EDD then. I'm good with that. DS was born at 40+5, so right on time is good with me. thumb.gif

DD was born at 41+4 on March 17th, when the moon was 2 days old.

That means this one will be coming on the 13th, when babyboy is almost 40 weeks

I predicted the 10th, so that's not too far off.

Maybe, things will start happening on the 10th and really get into gear on the 13th :)

My DD1 was born on day 15, DD2 was day 20.... not matching, but that range would put me at the week before my due date!  I am cool with that.  We shall see! :D

Doesnt work for me, my first was 15days and my 2nd 27 days.

ACK.  That sucker puts my baby not coming until March 30 - 10 days past my due date.  And also, on a long weekend.  Which would fit my latest "cynical" scenario which has me giving birth  with complications in a short-staffed hospital.  Bonus points if the weather comes up with an unseasonal snowstorm!!!

ICK!

 

My son was a little early and I think that was due to BP issues. He was 6 days into the moon. My daughter was born on her due date at 12 days. So, if this one is on day 12, That's March 23rd. I think I'll be fit to be tied. That's almost 42 weeks... But, if baby comes early, 2/21 is 12 days into the Feb cycle... Hmmm....

Hmm, my 3 girls were born on moondates 11, 21 & 8. My "perfered dd" for this little one is 4/1 which is also day 21, so maybe there will be a bit of pattern there... who knows!

I didn't even look at the March calendar, lol. I hope I haven't jinxed myself, but I've never gone late. And actually with my super fast deliveries I'm betting my dr will want to break my water at 39 weeks, march 1, so she actually makes it in time. :/

Bah, i think this is bunk--my DD was born on day 3 so that would mean this one would be born on March 14th, 6 days before my due date which doesnt feel right at all. I'm still thinking it'll be the 27th, which i am even more convinced of since i just learned its a full moon on that day. Full moons are known for getting labor going smile.gif

DS was born on day 2, next DS on day 4 and DD on day 22. I went into labor on my own with all of them.

It didn't work for my siblings or dhs, but its all in fun right! Something to pass them time while we wait for our babies!

How fun!

 

So I went into labor on the new moon and DS was born about 65 hours later when the moon was 2 days old, at the very end of the day.  I had some "help" from AROM and pitocin, but I think he would have come very soon on his own (and perhaps earlier if I hadn't been so scared!)

 

Since we've just passed the new moon for February the next one is March 11th. That's 4 days after my EDD.  I don't know if that means she will be born on the new moon or 2 days later on the 13th, or even the 14th.  I've been joking with my husband all along that she's going to come on the 14th since that's the day he's leaving for a 3 day out of town trip.

Yeah, i love these prediction theories, they are interesting to even if they turn out not to be accurate smile.gif
