Tracey in TX Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 hmmm, we could do a math problem: 300 days of pregnancy. #1 304 days #2 290 days #3 300 days Therefore, the average is 298 days, or two days early. This, of course, is assuming that 300 days is actually correct. Secondly, assuming soon-to-be DD reads this math problem. :) Hang in there!:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Anytime between now and then.;) Oh, come on! :D I saw 4 responses & thought they'd at least have guesses! But then I read the complete consensus already & knew I should have known better w/ you guys! My sis will be in town until the 18th, so she's voting for *really* early. Dh is very sweet, so he always votes for "reasonably" early--he says 7/27. Dc don't know the calendar well enough, so they voted sometime in June. That's so far off, I think they might have to lose some privelege for even suggesting it. :lol: I just realized last night that...there's so little I can do at this point, I'm getting bored. I can't concentrate, & my hands go to sleep holding the phone, a paintbrush, the steering wheel...I feel like I'm in limbo until baby gets here. And then I think about the (increased) sleep deprivation, & I try to finish something. Right now I'm painting dd5's activity tray. It's really pretty--if only I could hold a paintbrush for longer periods of time! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'm thinking definitely by Christmas. Most likely by Thanksgiving. Possibly by Halloween. Maybe even by Labor Day. Is that helpful :D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofkhm Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 First was 10 days late and had meconuim before birth. Second was 10 days and late and no meconium, induced. Third was 3 days late and meconium again. I've heard of things you can do to encourage birth, but I've never done them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you Aubrey - I'm due in a month and I am ready.to.go. I walk by the baby diapers and smell that newborn baby diaper smell. (the clean one) Unfortunately, both of my boys were late - sigh. I just want to be able to touch my feet again and sit normally. They say having fun with your hubby is a great way to jump start things. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cruel joke to have your 6th baby 10 days late when all others have been at least 5 days early. Argh! Now I know anything is possible. #7-- who knows! Hoping before Halloween. Hang in there.

Aubrey Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 They say having fun with your hubby is a great way to jump start things. ;) Ok, besides the fact that it's really too early to be thinking about jump-starting anything (right?) & besides the fact that that *never* works, you've got to be kidding. The logistics of that...um...I'm 5'2", right? And my babies are around 9 lbs, right? And they stick. straight. out. I can't reach the pedals to drive because the steering wheel digs too far into my belly! Alright, I think that may have been TMI. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Me Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 AAWWW...seeing that her due date is 08/08/08, I hope that is when she comes. I am sorry, but you are going to have to wait a little longer.

But *only* if he/she PROMISES to come on that date. Because I don't want to wait until August only to have him/her come on random date. Like 8/4 or 8/9. Kwim? In fact, I've told dh that whenever this baby comes, we should make 8/8 its bday. He just rolled his eyes. He thinks I'm the only person in the world who thinks bdays are relative & mobile. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kidding! Sperm contains large amounts of prostaglandins, the hormone your body naturally produces to soften the cervix and jump start labor. (and docs use artificially) If you start now, may be in a few weeks it could help things along...... It is not an immediate process, like you will not go into labor tomorrow but give it some time. The logistics of that...um...I'm 5'2", right? And my babies are around 9 lbs, right? And they stick. straight. out. I can't reach the pedals to drive because the steering wheel digs too far into my belly! You can get creative! The last 3 books I read about natural childbirth all said the same thing about s#x at this point in the pregnancy. Believe me, personally I am not in the mood for much more than ice cream, water ice, and air conditioning but they say it works. I had to stop doing the dishes because I stick so far out I can't reach the faucet! (ds9 picked up this job, he-he) I really want to start a pregnancy whine thread.

Hang in there! :D Actually, come to think of it, it's time to confess. The real due date is 8/7/08, I think. But I told mw I *liked* 8/8/08, so she put that on my charts instead. I mean, it's a *due* date, right? Not something scheduled or official. The one date they're most likely not to come, I thought, until dd1 came on her due date, lol.

Not to mention the fact that I was nursing & not *remotely* thinking of, um, *conceiving,* so I'm not entirely sure of my LMP. :eek: Eek! But you know, thereabout-ish. I mean, I'm measuring right around 36 weeks, or whatever it is I'm supposed to be at this point. And I know the due date doesn't actually get faxed to the baby, lol.

momee Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 As a mom of a newborn five weeker - give it time. How much more important to suffer (mom's job anyway) than for that precious little one to be here one minute before God wants her to be. Now that all sounds soo beautiful I don't want to leave you with the thought I wasn't walking up hills in the heat asking everyone what may bring my girl...I was READY. Having contractions every 10 minutes or so off and on AND an OB telling me at 35 weeks she could come any minute. She came quick - we were in the hospital for 30 minutes EXACTLY and she was born! He/she will come when ready and unfortunately you get to be miserable until then. God's way of making us extremely happy mamas once they're here I think. Hang in, get a good friend to take you out to dinner and make her PROMISE to not talk baby/pregnancy/family stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alenee Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I vote for a "due-date" baby! Just think, if baby comes on 8/8/08, it'll be born on the day the Olympics begin and you'll have something interesting to watch on tv in the hospital!:lol: Although seeing all those trim women may be disheartening.....:glare: I had 2 due-date babies.

abbeyej Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 My recommendation: plan on 2 weeks after the last possible date you've been given! Then whenever baby comes, you'll be relieved and it'll seem early. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 If its a girl can you name it Infinity, or is that too weird. 8 rep. infinity. But a wk. early would be nice. Not too early , not too late. Jet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
