venting...sorry

[irish_mom_to_5]

: well now I am totally confused and feeling hopeless. My midwife and I are in "disagreement" over my due date. I have my due date as 8-24 and she has it as 9-17: thats a whole month!!!! so I am going by when I think my last period was ABOUT and she is going by u/s dating. the thing is I was feeling like I was getting close and getting excited. but now I am worried, I dont want to have a 32 week baby, but i feellike I am ready. but who knows.
any way I just needed to vent for a minute. I am sad I was hoping to hold her soon.....kat

I'm sorry. I don't have a due date according to me... but of course according to the midwives and nurses I do. I don't even know really what it is. I didn't want one bc I don't want the pressure around a specific date. What is it - only 5% of women give birth on their actual due date? The rest are between 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after. I was actually thinking this baby would be here right about now but who knows! I totally understand the impatience though. I hate when people ask "so when are you do?" and I say "any day now or in the next two weeks" and they give me a sarcastic look and say "well, when is you due date?!" It drives me nuts.

I don't really know what to say but I'm sorry and I hope you and your midwife can come to an understanding.

Irish mom: When was the first u/s done? how many weeks by your count? What are you measuring? What a predicament to be in. I'm sorry you're going through it.
