I just found out yesterday that I"m pg. The control line didn't even have time to start showing up when the pregnancy line was already strong. I believe my edd to be Sept 25 based on LMP but am more likely to give birth around October 9 based on past pregnancies.

So I thought I"d hang out here instead of in Sept and pretend that my edd is October 9. Actually, since this is an "estimated due date" anyways, I"m probably much more accurate going with October 9!

Birthing history,
DD: homebirth transfer to hospital with strong homebirth predjudice there. Birthed at 43w0d and had a vaginal delivery despite hospital interference though had iatrogenic complications.

DS1: homebirth (accidental UC... He literally fell out) at 42w0d.

DS2: hospital birth which was amazing because it was nearly "natural" despite being at 33w3d. My OB was amazing. I had multiple subchorionic hematomas and the bleeding caused the sack to weaken and pPROM to occur at 27 weeks. Total of 5 weeks in the hospital. But my OB treated my birth as a non-high risk birth even though she was monitoring outside the room as though it was high risk. She got along amazingly with my doula (midwife at 2nd birth) and had a high degree of trust between us.

Congratulations! Those are amazing birth stories. I was reading your tag line and it says you had your first baby in Feb of '04, then your second in Oct of '04?? Holy cow! :)

I also am expecting my 4th. I also was 2 and almost 3 weeks late with all my babies. So, according to my estimated date of conception I'm due Oct 3rd, but by giving myself a possible 3 week laps, that's Oct 24th. I don't like going from the beginning of Oct to the end, but...(shrug) I'll do what it takes, I guess.

I'm glad to know you, congrats again!

Hi Kimber. "Due dates" are definitely estimates! I'm really curious as to when my babe will show up. I've had two early and two late. I have two girls and two boys - so I guess this babe will be an all around tie breaker! :lol

I'm glad you had great births with your other children and I'm hoping you get another terrific one this time. :)
