Mamas due in late January

[a_work_in_progress]

This is when my due date buddies will miss AF.

I found out so early, 10 dpo, I've just been antsy to find somebody else "due" on the same day.

I'm still intimidated by those due earlier than me. Especially since I know I'm probably going to birth sometime in February.

Any other mamas due in late January?

Well, I put my due date at the 21st, is that too pregnant? I'm SO not intimidating

I have a question for you actually, since I noticed you already have 3 kids. Do you get pregnancy cravings and were they different for different kids, specifically, different for boys and girls (I actually didn't notice what your boy:girl ratio is)

Anyway, just something I was thinking about right now, as I dream about drinking hot sauce straight outta the bottle

[a_work_in_progress]

I have 2 girls and 1 boy.

With 1 girl, I craved chicken.

With the other girl, I craved fruits.

And with my boy, I craved all that is carb-o-liscious! (pasta, bread, etc.)


No real cravings yet... except fruit juices. Another girl?

I'm due the 23rd! Thats later January... I don't know if I will go that far though. I was early with my first.

[lucsmama]

well i guess i have the latest january due date so far. i am due 1/28/07. so i am just barely 4 weeks. i got a faint, faint line at 10dpo too. i waited to confirm it until 14 dpo. i was thinking the same thing, that i will most likely deliver in february. i think i have another 2 or 3 weeks before i start feeling any food cravings or nausea. i have been having all kinds of pain in my uterus (i guess) ever since this baby was conceived though. sort of like cramps or ovulation pain. that is my major symptom and it is what clued me in that i might be pregnant before i could test. thanks for starting this thread!

Yeah, this morning was the first day that I had that "I DON'T want that, and I MUST eat that right now!" feeling. Eggs and hot sauce. Followed by about 15 pepperocinis .

I'm due Jan 22 - but DS was 2 weeks late. So I'm thinking this will be a February baby. I'm not having any real cravings yet, or nausea. I think from the first time that both cravings and nausea set in around week 6 or 7, along with fatigue. So this week and next I am running around trying to finish up some projects ... Friday I painted the front of the garage, today I am hard at work in the garden, I'm working on my lecture materials for the fall semester, etc.

I'm due the 25th, with #3. So far things have been very different, I have been havig symptoms earlier than with my other 2 and my emotional state is very different. I feel very pregnant even though I'm not very far along and also feeling very "in my head", and secretive about the pregnancy. Not sure why.

Anyway, I dont know what to expect about early or late... I had DS at 38w exactly but DD waited until 1 day before her due date... maybe I cook them longer each time! I'd like to get close to my due date, my DS though not physically undercooked at 8 lb 2 oz was immature neurologically and I think my DD benefitted from being in there a little longer. (Remind me I said that when I'm 38w and miserable! )

SOmeone else who craves pepperocinis (sp?) I'm addicted to those things when pg (or was the first time and they still sound delicious so hey)

I'm due on the 24th. SUspect I'll go sometime around the 24th. DS was 3 days early so we'll see

[JesiLynne]

Jan 22 here, and I just started feeling stuff, no craving, but I really tired today.
Plus my feet HURT!!!!!!!!
and my nipples : breastfeeding kills!

[Fay]

Due Jan. 25, but I expect this one will be late (on my side of the family, all mothers carry the baby 41 or 42 weeks), so I may be looking at Feb. 1 or so. I'm worried about labor induction, so I'll probably see an acupuncturist as the due date approaches.

As for cravings, with DS it was citrus all the time. 8 pounds of oranges every week for 41 weeks, even before I knew I was pg, plus gallons of lemonade and OJ. I also had a strong aversion to sugary pastries. Right now I'm craving protein and leafy greens. I bought some basil and parsley plants at the farmer's market this morning so that we can have fresh pesto all summer.

Jesilynne, I'm sorry you're feeling lousy. I hope you get some rest tonight. I'm also tired and sore, but happy to have the symptoms to remind me that my bean is growing. I'm so happy to be pregnant again!

I'm due the 18th, but my family has a strong proclivity for late arrivals (I was 6 weeks late , and had my brother not been a scheduled c/s, the expected he would have been about the same...same for my mom's brothers and sisters...all 13 of 'em!), so I'd be very surprised if I actually went in January

[Paige, CPM]

Same day...

Ah, one of the first signs...I must have pregnancy head! I just posted this reply with a EDD of 1/27... My 'due' date is NOT the 27th, it is the 23rd. Thank goodness for the edit! (I wonder, however, if it will happen on the 27th now? ...Hmmm...)

I took a ept on Mothers Day for fun and it showed neg (not so fun) but I didn't get my period even though I have felt s/s like lucsmama

i have been having all kinds of pain in my uterus (i guess) ever since this baby was conceived though. sort of like cramps or ovulation pain.

And sore boobies...will my wee breasts be able to handle that amazing suction power some day?!!! Shiver me timbers...the thought of it!

So, we took the test again this morning and wow are we amazed! +!

Finally I am a mother on mothering! Paige

[peaceful_mama]

I am EXTREMELY tired. And I have been extremely STARVING. NO cravings yet, I just want anything all the time!! Well, OK, I'm a little more into milk than normal, but I think that has more to do with thinking that I SHOULD be drinking it.

I'm FINALLY NOT hungry tonight--but for lunch, I went with friends to Ruby Tuesday and had most of a sirloin stacker meal....even though DS did eat about a third of my steak! (HUGE meal, a couple of my friends split another one of the stackers) Plus I ordered the salad bar, so I had salad, broccoli and ranch, and a bit of fruit DS didn't eat with it.

Oh and I came home and ate most of a (small, like 2 person) thai chicken pizza for dinner...DS probably ate a VERY SMALL piece and I threw out some more I'd cut up for him, just a tiny bit though. (That was about 7, lunch was noon...)

I'm going to be in the doghouse with DH though, I talked to him right before I went into Target 'oh yeah baby, I'll pick up some coffee...' Guess what I JUST realized I forgot? YUP. (I was going to buy the half-caff so I could have a bit too)

My EDD is Jan 31/07. This will be babe #4. I have heartburn all the time and hugs make me almost jump out of my skin!! (sore breasts -- like crazy!) I have Water with me where ever I go.

[sunisshining]

Hello everyone!! I'm due January 30th! I'm so happy to be here with you all. So far, I have sore bbs, my lower back is killing me, and I've had some ligiment pain already. I didn't have any of that until ten weeks with my son, so I was really surprised to feel a little stretching so soon.

[jilly]

My edd is Jan. 22. So far I've had both cravings and aversion for eggs (go figure) and major onion rings cravings. Onion rings and potato salad were my cravings last time around.

I'm just really tired and feeling sick. This was the same last time, right from before I even knew I was pregnant. Only this time I'm chasing a toddler around! Before his nap today he already managed to pull all the plastic bags out of the bag holder, spread my recycling all over the laundry room floor, toss cheerios all over my kitchen . . . I don't think I"ll get to crash quite as much this pregnancy. But maybe I' won't notice how sick and tired I am becuase I'll be too busy.

I am like that, too! I could DRINK tabasco sauce. It is eight in the morning, and just thinking of tabasco on some cheesy scrambled eggs.... mmmmm!

ETA: my EDD is January 25!

[taylor]

I'm due the 31st.

[leomom]

My edd is Jan 20th.

Hi Jilly!!! I feel the exact same way. I am feeling sooo sick and tired, just like last time. But Kate is keeping me so busy, I don't know if I'll be able to rest at all!
