Well the most exciting thing was that it predicted a labor of only 12 hours. i actually teared up at the idea. Phew... that's nothin' compared to my 36 hours the first go around! LOL Here's hoping!!!

while it was fun, i think it's mostly bunk. there are too many other deciding factors in when and how your baby will be born than they outlined in the quiz.

I know you were hoping we weren't going to say this, but don't expect this baby to come early. Your baby is nice and comfy tucked away in your womb and has no interest in joining the rest of the world. We predict your baby will be born after its due date. Your baby will most likely be born in the evening. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 9.5 pounds and that your labor will be about 12 hours long.

Get your bags packed early just in case you need them. Make sure your partner has a phone available when he's away because this baby just might come early. We predict your baby will come 2-3 weeks early. Your baby will most likely be born in the morning. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 6.0 pounds and that your labor will be about 11 hours long.

My first labor was only 9 hours :

Just about the time you think you can't handle hearing one more "when is that baby going to pop?", your baby will decide to make it's appearance. We predict your baby will be born 3-7 days before its due date. Your baby will most likely be born in the morning. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 7.3 pounds and that your labor will be about 6 hours long.

Great! They didn't tell me to pack my bags. I guess they know I am having a homebirth!

This is funny!

Mama Bee, what are some other factors? I would like to have my mother here (she has to fly) and I can't have her just sittinh around for a couple of weeks. My father requires a lot of care, and she is going to leave him with a nurse when Baby comes. Of course, I won't have an induction and everything will go whenever it goes. DS was born on his due date so I am hoping for something nice and predictable!

well, each pregnancy has a very individual rate of development that can sway the date of birth by a few weeks either way even if all the other factors are in your favor for a birth right around your due date. also, any illness or infection that might occur can cause an earlier birth. on the flip side, some medications can actually hinder the labor process and prolong it or put it off altogether till treatment is stopped. most of these things are completely out of a woman's control but i wouldn't worry too much about them. i'm just a party pooper.
