My late EDD recognized finally  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
For the longest time MW-P was doing my prenatal visits almost exclusively. So MW-C doesn't always know what's up.

Well since MW-P turned on me like a rabid dog, MW-C has made a point of coming to my appointments and being siure I am booked when she can be there AND I will be calling her first when I go into labor.

Anywhoo, again today she asked when my EDD was. MW-P has always pushed the earlier 11/23, no matter how many times I say I think it's 11/30 because of my 35 day cycles.

Well today I elaborated that I was ovulating later than I'd expected too and when I finally started using ovulation predictor kits, I found I was ovulating several days later than the normal woman and I got pregnant immediately then.

SO the MW-C says I really could be due 11/30 then because if my cycle was that long and I was ovulating late...

THANK YOU! It's nice to finally be validated at 37/38 weeks!

I am handling everything well today and really really hope to not deliver until after the 23rd. But I worry that my dad will miss the baby and he's flying in from Dec 1st to Dec 4th. So to put pressure on myself, I really need to deliver by my 11/30 EDD.

Yes, I get impatient and an 11/23 due date seems blissful. But I have a feeling 11/30 is the true due date. Baby needs time to bake.

I don't think delivery for this baby is safe before the 16th, but the 23rd would be so much better. My kids delivered at 37 and 38 weeks just seemed to need a little longer to bake. Not huge problems, but enough that I think I would like to deliver at least 39/40 weeks.

i am so glad the other MW is more supportive...that is a relief indeed to you, i'm sure!

wow, your parents are both coming from afar for babies birth? how neat is that.

i still don't know when the heck my true EDD is...(do any of us really?) i have it logged on my billings method chart for january intercourse, but nothing for february...which is supposedly when i would have conceived, towards the end. i don't recall dtd then...so i'm boggled. my guess is feb 14 LMP was maybe a farse and i was already pg. i don't know. all i know is when baby comes, he comes...i'm kinda sorta ready. : i feel like he'll come before the 14th...we shall see.

My mom is coming in from New York Nov 15th thru Dec 4th I think it is.

Dad cannot handle that much time away both because of work and personality , so my dad will come in Dec 1st.

Mom will stay with us until dad comes and then they will stay at a hotel nearby so dad can be comfortable and well-behaved.
