Moms - really random and pointless question

When you were pregnant, did you have a "feeling"/gut instinct about when you'd deliver?   Was it right?

As much as I try not to think about it, I cannot shake the feeling that I will not make it to my due date and possibly won't even go to December.  I don't want to think this because I'm afraid I'm sub-consciously getting my hopes up and I'd rather tell myself I'm going a week overdue (that's when OB would induce me), but I can't help it and it's driving me crazy!

Re: Moms - really random and pointless question

  • The entire time I thought I was going to have him the weekend before my due date.  Granted it was only a day or two, but I just knew it.  I thought Sunday and he came Saturday night :)
  • I thought she might come early because my mom had both of us early. 

    But no dice ;)

  • I had a gut feeling I would need to be induced (whether it be early, late, whatever.) And lo and behold, I was induced on my due date. But you knew all of that already. Smile

    Are you still having random contractions?

  • I thought Dylan was going to come early, but that didn't happen.  I keep thinking this one will come early too, but I guess we will see!

  • I was SURE I'd go early. 

    Then, I was sure she'd come during that snowstorm.

    Then, I gave up and figured I'd be induced, and she came the day before.

    I think you just never know...I had so many "early labor signs" for WEEKS before finally going into labor. It is a process.

    By the by, I cannot believe you're so close to the end!!!

  • I didn't have any kind of gut feeling, but I was secretly hoping I'd have B early, since I was born 2 weeks early. My entire pregnancy mirrored the one my mom had with me, so that's why I was hoping he'd be early.

    I had ZERO labor signs the day my water broke, but low and behold, it was 9 days before my due date Smile I was convinced by this point that I'd be going to my due date, if not later, but I'm glad he came when he did!

  • I had no idea when I'd go into labor.  I figured I'd be late since I was over a week late with my son.  I was very surprised to go into labor on my actual due date with Mariela, but I did know for sure that the first contraction I felt was "it" even if I didn't have her until hours and hours later.

  • thanks for your stories ladies!  I just hope this "feeling" I have actually means something beyond just getting my hopes up!  I seem to get more physically uncomfortable each day!

  • I felt like I was going to deliver after my due date ... part of it was hope because I wanted to attend a bat mitzvah that weekend (and I did). It's definitely a bit of a waiting game to see if the instinct and feelings are actually something.
