Ok ladies- there are May babies arriving already

, and we are next.
sooo....

How much time left till your EDD?

Do you think you will deliver early, late or right around your EDD?

Thought it might be fun to see who is where, and have it all on one thread!

I'm 30 weeks and 2 days, so I guess that means 9 weeks 5 days to go! Due date is 14 June.

However I'm having a lot of contractions and there is some cervical change, but it's difficult to tell if it's normal changes for a 3rd pregnancy, or signs that things might happen too soon.

My two labours have been opposite to each other in many ways, first was a bit like this, though less intense if memory serves correctly, lots of contractions, but no cervical change until around 37 weeks, then PROM at 37+2, still contracting, but didn't kick off into full blown labour, so induction. 2nd was spontaneous labour at 39+3, with membranes intact after 2 hours pushing, at which point I asked the midwife to rupture them.

Everything feels much more like the first pregnancy to me, I have a suspicion things will start with membrane rupture, but am hopefully that as a 3rd timer, labour will follow, I'm probably not as bothered as I should be about that happening before 37 weeks, my last delivery was difficult, required hip surgery and was still having symphysis pubis pain when I got pregnant this time (3.25yrs after the birth), so a little early might work out better for everyone, don't want to be before 35 weeks though, but I really don't have any feelings about when things might happen.

I am due June 17th, so 10ish weeks to go till my EDD. With my first pregnancy, I knew I was going to have a miscarriage, and I did. With this pregnancy, from the very beginning, I've felt like I was going to go pretty early, and have been nervous ever since I got into the second trimester. Now that I'm in a safe range, I feel better, but I still feel like I'm going to go at 34-35-36 weeks. First of all, just a gut feeling (which could totally be wrong of course.) Second of all, I'm just at 5 feet tall with shoes on, and I have a really short torso with longer legs then someone my height should have. This baby has been up in my ribs for a few weeks now, and when I press on her little butt sticking out below my breasts, I feel major pressure, like she is about to come out right then (yeah, not doing that anymore...it freaks me out! I was trying to get a little room to breathe.) I just feel like she has no more room to grow! She's so cramped in there already, and I'm already really big, can barely drive, etc.

That being said, I hope I make it to 37 weeks on the dot so that I can have my home birth. Mostly I just want to have my little one here safe and sound.

Now watch me go to 43 weeks or something, lol...

I am 29 weeks today- so 11 weeks to go! My official EDD is June 24th, but I expect to deliver on or around the 20th- since that's the date of my cousin's (also my very best friend) wedding that I was supposed to attend. If not then, possibly the 21st for the summer equinox.

I am not really expecting to go late, but I suppose it's possible. In some ways it would be better because right now everyone is planning to visit the baby in June and I don't want house guests! If I deliver in July we'll have more time to ourselves before people start arriving.

 

[KJRSMR]

I am 31 weeks today. My due date is June 4th. I will be 35 weeks in the beginning of May. I am thinking that I will make it to 36-37 weeks. So mid May I guess..

 

[sunflwrmoonbeam]

I'm 31w2d, so about 9 weeks left. That said, I've been contracting a TON, my boobs are leaking like sieves, and my mom went early with both of us. I'm thinking I'll go around 37-38 weeks, but I'm really trying to not focus on that (and failing).

 

[stanleymama]

I am 29w2d today and due June 22. I have never gone to or past my due date, always delivering 3-7 days early so I would be really suprised if I went passed my due date this time. I think if everything keeps going better, then I will make it to week 39 like before. I think I would only deliver sooner if the little guy stops growing well due to the placenta.

 

[ameliasmama]

I'm 29wks 3days
EDD is June 21st and as much as I would LOVE a solstice baby I'm thinking this little bugger will be late. I'm just hoping I actually have a June baby!!

 

[Carlin]

I'm 30 weeks 2 days, edd June 13th. It would be really handy if the baby was born sometime around the beginning of June, but I really doubt it. I suspect I'll go late. It would be really cool if the baby was born right on the 13th as that was my Grandparents' anniversary. I've also always worn the number 13 for sports, and we conceived in our 13th month of trying. A summer solstice baby would be neat too.

 

[Rikki]

As much as I'd like to go as late as possible, because of my diabetes I'm being given until 39w1d to go into labor on my own. Otherwise I'm being induced. If I go into labor on my own, it'll be a UC, but induction at a hospital where I can water birth. That's some comfort at least.

 

[micklis]

I'm 29 wks, 3 days - due on June 21st (Father's Day!). Wouldn't that be a nice gift for DH. This is my first so I'm going to guess that I'll either be roughly on time or late.

 

[dogmom327]

I'm due July 1st but I've felt all along this baby would be early (so I hang out in both June and July DDCs). I think it's partially that DS was 15 days early and partially that I've been so sick this pregnancy (and still am now at 28 weeks) that I want the baby to come early (but not too early). I need to readjust my thinking though because with my luck babe won't arrive until mid July!

 

[erin_brycesmom]

My EDD is June 13th but I've never gone into labor before 42 weeks so I'm thinking a late June baby is most likely. However, over the last few days I've been noticing that I'm carrying much lower than I ever have in my previous pregnancies and am feeling pressure that I've never felt before either. I have started to convince myself that I'm going to go early for the first time.

Here's the thing though....I do this every time, lol. I start thinking that this time will be different ha ha. I guess only time will tell. I don't feel in tune enough with my body at this point to make a real prediction.

 

[lexbeach]

Dw will be 29 weeks tomorrow, due June 25th. I think the baby's going to come early by a week or two. With our other pregnancies (where I was the pregnant one), I always thought the babies would come late (42+ weeks), but this time I get a very different vibe. Also, in dw's family, the babies usually come at least 2 weeks early.

I would LOVE to have a solstice baby.

[Shy0717]

I've got about 10 weeks left. I'm due on June 24th. I honestly think he may go a few days early. Not sure why but I think he may even though he is my first. I think once the contractions start they won't stop at least looking at how this pregnancy has been so far. I'm hoping to labor during the day because I'm so one of those people fatigue could really effect during labor. Either way I'm so excited and can't wait.

 

[dmariev]

I have about 10 weeks left, I am 29w4d, edd June 20th.
I think I will be a couple weeks early, as I was with DS. I am thingking June
7th, due to the full moon, and my already daily pre-term contractions. DS was 36w4d at 5lb3oz, and I can tell this one is already bigger than he was at this point, so I think she will be more than fine at 38weeks!!!

DP keeps saying, just __ more weeks, (12, 11, 10)
I had to remind him that it could actually be ANY time between now and then, and he went

Poor guy! I didn't mean to scare him!!!

[SeattlePisces]

I'm due June 8th and have a feeling I'll go June 7th or 8th. The only thing making me think this is that my 1st was born on his actual Due Date, so I'll probably go mostly full-term, and that June 7th is a full-moon. For some irrational reason I think that the full-moon will trigger labor and he'll be born that day or the next on his actual due date. I guess I'll find out how right I am over the next 8-10 weeks.

 

[MangoMommy]

I'm 30w 4 days and due around June 12th I think.

#1 was born at 38w
#2 was born at 36w

We'll see what #3 does! I feel like I won't go to my due date, but knowing my luck, I'll be overdue this time LOL!

 

[Erinz]

31 weeks, 5 days here. I have 58 days to go until my due date

(I have a ticker I just checked haha) Due June 5th

I have a feeling I'll go post date. I'm not happy about it, but that's what my intuition tells me. I hope I'm wrong. I reallllllly hope I'm wrong.

 

[boscopup]

I'm 30w1d, due June 16. So I have 10 weeks until my due date. I really doubt I'll get there.

#1: 29w4d (PPROM)
#2: 36w6d (normal start of labor - no PROM, but I may have had a slow leak for several weeks)

I've had no indication of leaking this time, so maybe I'll get to 38 weeks. Of course, last time, I thought I'd get to 38 weeks and even told DH to go to an interview in Boston right around 37 weeks. Well, the morning he was supposed to fly out, I went into labor and had a baby!

He rescheduled for the following week.

And with the first baby, DH had just gotten back from a trip to Seattle at 6pm, my water broke at midnight. So we're wondering how this baby will come out since DH isn't planning to travel.

My parents, however, are driving up to Canada to visit my brother (and my sister will be there then too - everyone gets to see the "new" baby but me

) in May. I'll be 35 weeks. Anyone going to take bets that I'll go then?

Hopefully not though. I need to get to 36 weeks so I can deliver out-of-hospital with my midwife.
