due months vs due dates
I enjoyed this little blog piece regarding due months, instead of due dates. I'm forever trying to explain to relatives and friends who are trying to make visits for early May, that they may "miss" meeting the baby because he could come anytime from mid-April through mid-May.
I'm also a little anxious that my doctor keeps saying she thinks I'll go early because he's been measuring big consistently. I hope that she doesn't push the issue at the time if he is past 40 weeks.

Re: due months vs due dates
Cute. I always just tell people I'm due in early June - the due date means nothing to me, so I don't know why it matters to anyone else. If they push for an actual date, I tell them, but no one really has.
Interesting read..
Dr's give off false hope too! Mine said he'd be surprised if I made it to today's appointment....here I am! I had told my family that I was due at the end of Jan. just to make it easier for them to understand....but as I'm getting closer to Feb. the calls and questions are rolling in!
I'm [of course] very excited to meet this little person. I think hormones play a roll in the "OMG I'm late" crazy-mood-swings but I'm way better now and back to being excited that she'll be here soon!
I totally agree. My son was 10 days overdue and the doctors were scheduling inductions and it stressed me out so much. I know that there can be times when it is bad to go overdue, but they hadn't even done a non-stress test to see if that was the case with me, it was just assumed I had to get the baby out. Fortunately I went into labour naturally just before my scheduled induction, but still. My son was born perfectly healthy, and was only 7 pounds 8 ounces, so I firmly believe he just needed the extra "cooking" time. They had been offering to induce me since I was 39 weeks, for no reason other than "You must be getting uncomfortable" and if I had consented to that, he would have been tiny.
My friend just found out she's pregnant and she's telling everyone she's due a month later than she is, because last time they drove her insane with daily phone calls and such.
