Make predictions here!

post #1 of 59
Thread Starter 
I thought I posted this already, but apparently it disappeared...

With my son I correctly predicted his due date to the day. I went into labour a few days earlier though, so I thought my foresight was foiled. Nope, just a long prodromal labour that was really long and tough

With my daughter I was waaaaaay off. I think hope for another early baby won out over intuition!

This time, this is my prediction:

Girl, born April 2nd, at 935am, weighing 9 lb 8 oz. Healthy and good birth. BOY! Born April 2nd at 1413, weighing 9 lbs 3 oz. Good and healthy birth!

Anyone else have any predictions for themselves?

Hmm... I am usually not very intuative imo, but here it goes

boy, March 31, 3:37 am, at home waterbirth, uneventful labor

Editing to add: 6 lbs 8 oz

hahaha, this is fun!
Me: Girl, May 3, 10 am.

oh yes, and hopefully she'll be around 7 and a half or 8 pounds... not a 10 pounder like my last one!~

OK, since it looks like its twins, I gotta make 'the first amendment' to my post. So now I say a boy and a girl, both with lots of hair, girl being 7 pounds 4 ounces, boy 7 pounds 9 ounces, and they will arrive naturally on April 22 at noon.

hmmm.....last time I said June 3rd and she was born June 5th.

This time I think its a boy and will be born April 17th early evening. 8 lbs 12 oz.

This should be a sticky so that we can post an update when we have them.

A girl, born March 30th at 8:24am 7lbs 4 oz (much better after a 9lb 4 oz tubby baby)

This is fun! Thanks for doing this, CarolynnMarilynn!!

For the longest time I keep seeing the numbers 410. I often wake up at 4:10 am (as does my dad...odd, huh?) I was born on 4/10.

So what the hey, I'll say my baby girl will be born on 4/10 at 4:10 in the morning! She'll weigh around 6 pounds.

My second "prediction" is that she'll be born on her due date, March 28th, at 4:10 (morning or afternoon, doesn't matter...just gotta get that 410 in there! )

I reserve the right to change these predictions as soon as I have my prophetic dream!

(Of course, I've had a run of "boy" thoughts, much more than "girl," but one can hope!)

My predictions (which may change as we near April ):

Sex: Male
Birth Date: April 21, 2007
Time: 11:15 AM
Weight: 8lbs 11oz
Hours in Labor: 16
Place of Birth: A Birth Center an hour and a half away from our house.

I predict that labor and delivery will go relatively smoothly....and I bet that I'll have DH drive me to the birth center way too early because I'm nervous I won't get there in time. We'll end up having to spend the night at the center or a local hotel because I'm too afraid for us to drive all the way back home. I suspect that DH will say that he wants to cut the cord, but then chicken-out when the time comes.

************************************************** ****

ACTUAL BIRTH:

Sex: Female
Birth Date: April 19, 2007
Time: 3:13 AM
Weight: 8lbs 5.5oz
Hours in Labor: 15
Place of Birth: The hospital across the street from the birth center.

When we got to the birth center, I was already 5 cm dilated, so we certainly didn't get there way too early like I thought would happen. Had to transfer to hospital because I couldn't keep any liquids down and got dehydrated - midwife thought it would be beneficial to get IV fluids, since I was running out of energy to push effectively. Other than that, the labor and delivery was relatively smooth. Had a beautiful drug-free vaginal birth.

My prediction, which I also reserve the right to edit!:

Birthday: April 5th
Gender: Female
Place: Home w/midwife and hubby. Kids and my mom will be in the house, not sure if in bathroom with me.
Weight: 8 lbs, 3 oz

It would be neat if this babe would be born early afternoon. I've had a middle-of-the-nighter and an early evening baby, so we'll see. Edited to add that I keep picturing myself laboring with the morning light shining into my bathroom. It hits the mirrors beautifully, so I would love to actually experience this. Also, the 5th is really stuck in my head, so I think that'll be the day, for some reason. I was surprised when I visited this old post and saw that I had already predicted the 5th!

My first was about 10 hours and second was about 8, so, theoretically this one should be about 6, right? Right? Both kids were 8 lbs exactly, so I tacked on an extra 3 oz for this one since I'll be closer to my edd than ever before. First was 39 weeks, second was 38.5.

If I could go into labour at about 8 a.m. after a perfect night's rest and then birth baby at about noon, that'd be perfect, right?

Of course, I know that's silly, but...........guess who's for sure getting lucky on the morning of April 5th if baby hasn't arrived yet.

Hmm, I'm going to differ a slight bit from DW's prediction:

Boy, April 1, 12:20 am, at home waterbirth, uneventful labor (not including me passing out from assisting DW in our 1st delivery)

8 lbs 3 oz

Girl.

Hmmm, 2/3 came a week or more past their due date, but my other April baby came 2 days before her birthday. I think I will stick with a week late.

April 24 at 2pm (same day as E's birthday)

8 pounds even

hospital birth (as planned)


Anyone guessing for Easter Sunday? Or maybe the day before so they don't have to cook for relatives?

post #15 of 59
I'm so afraid to post because I'm just so happy to be pregnant and I'll be soooo happy with a healthy boy or girl, but I'll play anyway.

Boy (even though the chinese predictor charts all say girl)
8lbs 2oz (dd was 8lbs 15 3/4oz...why didn't they just say 9lbs ...so I doubt I'll have a small baby)
April 8 4am
Home water birth with no worries or scares
post #16 of 59
Boy

April 22 @ 11:36 a.m.
8 lbs 9 oz, 22 inches
post #17 of 59
Ok I am having 0 intuition about gender but all my life I have felt that I would only have sons (but I would really, really love a daughter)
so I am gonna say:

Boy
April 19 at 3:15pm
At home
8lbs 6 oz

This is fun!
post #18 of 59

post #19 of 59
All mine were born real close to their due dates.

Lets see....
I am guessing April 8th at 3 am
Boy 8 lbs. 5 ounces.

I also have a knack for hitting important dates and dates where everyone else is doing something really important..my guess is Easter 2007
post #20 of 59
My hubby and I were married on the 13th and our first anniversary was on Friday the 13th. Now, the due date of our first baby is on Friday, April 13th. It is a good thing we aren't superstitious! So, what the heck.. I'll guess my due date:

Birth Date: 4/13
Time: 10:47 PM
Sex: Boy
Weight: 7lbs, 15 oz.
Length: 22 inches
