First time Momma's a Question for ya

DO you think you will go early?
On Time?
Or Late?

everyone is starting to get me scared especially all the Junes Moms giving birth in May. I'm hoping to go right around my due date.

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

I keep telling DH I think I am going early, around August 19th (due 8/26). I really hope I don't go late bc that will be September & possibly Labor Day weekend! If I follow my mom's footsteps, she was 8 days late with both my brother & I.

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

I'm gonna have to go with late... maybe b/c I'm 3 days past my due date though. It's only three days, I know... for some reason my in-laws are making it feel like I'm dissapointing them and three days is an eternity.

I did hear that most 1st time pregnancies go late.

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

I'm getting nervous too! I really wanted to go on time or late b/c my job gives us 4 weeks before our due date, and I really wanted to take advantage of every minute...

But now my DH lost his job yesterday, so I kind of hope I go early so he'll be home with me for a little bit before finding a job.

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

God i..i hope its early or on time. I dont want to be induced or have a csection if i can avoid it.

my mother went 2 weeks early with me, and almost 2 weeks late with my brother...maybe i'll break even

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

I am going to get this baby out early! I say about 3 weeks, the full moon the second weekend in August.

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

I'm hoping early, but not too early! I'd love the very beginning of August (edd is 8/12)...mostly because I love August's birthstone and don't like July's.

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

I am due 10/4 but have a feeling I won't make it to oct., i think the very end of sept.

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

I am due September 11th but the trend with my mother and sisters is to deliver 3 weeks early so I am preparing myself for August 21st ish... Watch, now that I said this I probably jinxed myself into a late delivery and won't deliver till mid September!!

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

I think I am going to go late, but I keep having dreams I am going to go early. I wouldn't mind going a week early, I am due at the end of August.

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

I'm hoping a little early or on time. I am praying not to go very late but that would just be my luck...that said, I dont really have a feeling one way or the other at this point.

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

I am due Aug 18, I think I will go early August

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

I'm hoping I go early!!! Im on bedrest for the next 4 weeks before DS is due.. so now I just want him out!!! I'm ready for him...

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

i am definitely going to go early. i get my cerclage out in 2 weeks. my doctor said alot of time b.c you are stimulating the cervix you go into labor. If for some reason i dont. im going to be induced 2 weeks after that, so i will be a june mommy.No matter what.

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

My 3 freinds who have given birth in the past 2 months have all gone exactly on their due date. I hope it's the same for me, although I have a feeling I'll be a few days late...

ETS - I wouldn't mind going a week early - that would make his birthday 9/9/09

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

I would love to go exactly on my due date. It is my Pop Pop's birthday (he passed away in 2006), I would love for my to share a bday with him. I really don't want her to come late, because my inlaws are coming to visit 2.5 weeks after my due date, and I wanted to have some time alone with the baby before they got here and I had to deal with them.

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

i know i'm going early - because of the GD & Emma's size....but after this week - i don't even know that we'll make the EARLY date...i have a feeling she wants to come out SOON!!!!!

my sister in law was a first time mommy and she went 10 days past her due date and they FINALLY induced her...

one thing i've learned to accept - I AM NOT IN CONTROL of this ship - she is!

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

Well with twins I know I'll go early, it's just a question of how early. I am due 12/22, but I am thinking I'll go sometime around the first or second of December. DH thinks around Thanksgiving.

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

I would LOVE to go early, but I'm convinced I'm going to go late. Probably why I've procrastinated so much with preparation. I still haven't even packed a hospital bag or washed any of clothes.

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

Since the day i POAS i said this would be a June baby.. even though im due 7/24 its just always been a gut feeling and well.... im still convinced considering im on a t-pump to stop contractions and still get them regularly... the plan is to stop the meds at 36 weeks wich is around 6/13 (my anniversary) so ill say she will be here within a week or so of that date which will put me about 4-5 weeks early. which im thrilled about since my baby is on the bigger side!

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

I'm fully expecting to go late. From the beginning I always felt this baby would be born in September.

My original due date was Aug 27th. My official due date is Aug 24th, and that's the one the doctor is going by. But I still tell people the 27th.

I think I'll be the most shocked out of everyone if I go early.

Re: First time Momma's a Question for ya

Im due August 12th but DH and i just have the feeling that she will be an early baby!! I don't know why, it's just a feeling that we get, which is why i want everything all set by mid-June!!
