I think part of it was trying to prepare myself mentally for a wait. But I prepared myself a little too well because when I went into labor the day before EDD I didn't have anything packed! It resulted in the most insane hospital bag ever (a hair straightener? TONS of socks for DH but no underwear? every single plug/charger we own but not our doctor's contact information). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1956581 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 09:59:09 +0000 anonysquire 1956581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In a way kind of. My brother scheduled his wedding the day after my due date so I told him I would probably have my baby his wedding day. But at my appt the day before my due date, I told my midwives I'd probably see them in 5 weeks because I felt like I would never have the baby! That night all of my family members went to a church ceremony where you can't have phones on inside. Right before they went in, I jokingly told them via emoticons that my water would probably break. And it did! And I couldn't get a hold of anyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1956475 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 06:58:37 +0000 delight 1956475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I was told my due date was August 16 but I was sure it was the 14th. I felt like I'd go into labour that day too and I did. I couldn't push her out by midnight though so we met in the middle and I had her on the 15th. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1956470 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 06:33:01 +0000 Andrea 1956470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I went past 40 weeks with both so I knew they had to come soon. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1956347 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 21:15:54 +0000 Boogs 1956347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept pushing to schedule a repeat c/s by a certain date if baby hadn't come yet. I was so so set on this date, and wouldn't you know he came on his own that day. ;)</p> <p>And with both kids I KNEW I would go early and I was right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1956262 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 18:36:37 +0000 yoursilverlining 1956262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>EVERYONE and their mother, including my OB, thought I would go early. They were SO SURE. I effaced and started dilating by 37 weeks....and nothing had changed by 40 weeks. I went a little nutty since everyone kept saying how i'd go early, etc once I hit 40 weeks :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1956204 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 16:45:51 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1956204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I didn't know if I would go late or early but I hoped I'd go around 39 weeks. I was induced because of fluid and BP at 40 +5! Who knows how long he would have stayed! This time I expect to go late too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1956197 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 16:28:25 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1956197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The second time, yes. I texted my friend "this baby is coming in the next 24 hours." She was in my arms about 18 hours later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1956193 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 16:23:11 +0000 Chuckles 1956193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I carried big and low my whole pregnancy and felt pretty certain he would be early. And he came at 37+1! (7 lbs 13 oz!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1955878 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 09:18:22 +0000 artsyfartsy 1955878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I woke up on the day I tuened 37 weeks pregnant and I said, "I won't make it to 38. This is the week"</p> <p>I was induced on my due date and he still wouldn't come out. Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1955821 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 07:59:29 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1955821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: i was similar. I kind of had a feeling I would be close to on time, but told everyone I would go late. The Thursday before my Wednesday due date I was pretty sure things would happen soon. He came that Sunday, 3 days early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1955817 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 07:47:34 +0000 dagret 1955817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told myself the entire time I was pregnant with L that I'd go late, so I didn't go insane if I did. But at 38+6, I had irregular contractions all day at work. At the end of the day I told my boss I was pretty sure I wouldn't be at work after the long weekend. Sure enough, I had L that Monday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1955812 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 07:41:51 +0000 chanada 1955812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! I had hoped I would be a bit early but baby was born at 41w. I wish I would have gone to work right up to my due date. The wait got pretty unbearable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1955772 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 03:38:03 +0000 lamariniere 1955772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was just a few days early, so I thought for sure my daughter would be a bit early, like in the 38th week. She came at 37+2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1955670 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 23:13:44 +0000 mrskc 1955670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since my son came 2 weeks early, I thought my daughter would too. Ha! She came at 40+1. That was the longest 2 weeks ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1955669 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 23:12:08 +0000 jhd 1955669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really had no idea but hoped the fact that he was measuring ahead the whole pregnancy would mean he might come early or at least on time. He arrived at 41 weeks exactly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1955650 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 22:50:20 +0000 coopsmama 1955650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not. I thought I'd be early because I measured ahead with both and carried extremely low. Ha, joke was on me... DS was born at 40+5 and DD was at 41+6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1955643 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 22:44:04 +0000 Rockies11 1955643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought mine was destined to be late - my prediction was 41w3d. My water broke at 38w3d, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1955642 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 22:43:19 +0000 avivoca 1955642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I would be at least a week late. If you went by my O date rather than my LMP, it showed my date being 10/12 instead of 10/4. I delivered at 40w3d, so not too far off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1955641 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 22:43:14 +0000 birdofafeather 1955641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not! I was convinced I'd be two weeks late and was totally shocked when my water broke without labor starting at 39w4d </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1955639 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 22:39:57 +0000 QBbride 1955639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was convinced I would go a bit early and I was right! My water broke at 38+6 and he was born at 39! It was perfect and I would have been miserable if i'd gone late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1955577 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 21:56:16 +0000 MCD919 1955577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was a week early and I didn't think I'd go into labor until right around my due date, because I was using opks and knew when I ovulated,.. However, my sister predicted the exact date correctly! Too bad we didn't get a pool going :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1955569 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 21:51:12 +0000 cyndistar3 1955569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I was even in denial when I did go into labor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-predict-when-you-would-go-into-labor#post-1955568 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 21:50:04 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1955568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Were you close to your prediction or were you far off? If you remember your prediction what was it and when did you give birth? </p>
