My dad guessed months before my due date and was right! He guessed July 18 because I was born March 18 and he thought it'd be the same day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-your-coworkersfriends-have-a-pool-on-when-you-go-into-labor#post-434664 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 13:13:21 +0000 MamaMoose 434664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No and I'm kind of bummed about it. I did one for a coworker that had her baby 4 months before me. The plan was the person with the closest guess would get half the pool and the other half would go in the baby's 529 plan (we work in financial services). Of course the winner gave all the money to the baby so she got a nice chunk to establish the plan. I wish they did it for me too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-your-coworkersfriends-have-a-pool-on-when-you-go-into-labor#post-434659 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 13:10:35 +0000 anonysquire 434659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husbands brothers and friends had a pool going for how fast we'd get pregnant after the wedding. Not sure what they've done with it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-your-coworkersfriends-have-a-pool-on-when-you-go-into-labor#post-434584 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 12:35:30 +0000 kodybear 434584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my coworkers had one through a website. it was like $1 per guess. LO ended up coming 2 weeks early tho so the closest guess was still like a week off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-your-coworkersfriends-have-a-pool-on-when-you-go-into-labor#post-434514 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 11:49:47 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 434514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: LOL!!

The only people who said I would go late lived across the country and knew they were safe since I couldn't fly any more ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-your-coworkersfriends-have-a-pool-on-when-you-go-into-labor#post-434461 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 11:26:51 +0000 Rescuemom10 434461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That was one of the games at my shower this last weekend. Who ever is closest is getting a $20 gift card to Starbucks. Still have until end of Jan so we will see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-your-coworkersfriends-have-a-pool-on-when-you-go-into-labor#post-434446 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 11:16:06 +0000 autumnlove 434446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, they called it the Babylicious pool! No one won the prize! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-your-coworkersfriends-have-a-pool-on-when-you-go-into-labor#post-434432 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 11:12:16 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 434432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My coworkers had one and so did our friends. No one guessed correctly so we ended up with almost $150 - HAHA! We put it all in DD's piggy bank :-) </p>
