I'm biased because it's my sibling's birthday. :) it is easier to remember, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-delivery-date#post-203957 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 22:29:35 +0000 Jumpingjacks 203957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you'll have a problem remembering!

Thanks for your help! I called the nurse and asked her if the 8/2 morning appointment was still available. I"m hoping it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-delivery-date#post-203706 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 17:56:01 +0000 sandy 203706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree that food wins - you do not want to be starving and potentially bumped even later and after a few hours in recovery you probably wouldn't eat until dinner time with a 3pm procedure </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-delivery-date#post-203697 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 17:41:48 +0000 loveisstrange 203697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do it at 8am. Eat a big dinner, get a good nights sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-delivery-date#post-203658 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 17:19:04 +0000 Arden 203658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Exactly. </p> <p>I vote August 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-delivery-date#post-203642 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 17:09:12 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 203642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 pm is much more likely to be at 5... It's always better to be the first surgery of the day while your OB is fresh... You don't want a tired or distracted doc operating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-delivery-date#post-203636 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 17:01:38 +0000 lemondrop 203636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8/2- food wins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-delivery-date#post-203630 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:51:39 +0000 MaisyMay 203630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First thing in the morning is always best. That way if things are delayed it won't be insanely late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-delivery-date#post-203629 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:50:20 +0000 rattles 203629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I'm glad I'm not the only weirdo ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-delivery-date#post-203628 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:49:50 +0000 MsMini 203628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote for the second, because I like to make sure my doctors and nurses are 'fresh' when I have a procedure if I can help it. By choosing the 1st, not only are you risking getting bumped, but you are the last or second last case of the day, and people are starting to get concerned with what they have going on at home rather than having their heads perfectly in the game. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-delivery-date#post-203612 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:42:01 +0000 TheFixIts 203612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for the 2nd because I'm a sucker for even numbers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-delivery-date#post-203609 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:40:56 +0000 banana 203609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles @andrea: My husband said he likes the even numbers too! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-delivery-date#post-203606 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:39:26 +0000 Andrea 203606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say 8/2 so you don't have to starve all day. I like the even numbers, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-delivery-date#post-203605 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:38:17 +0000 rattles 203605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know this is just me being weird, but I like the even numbers of 8/2/12. I also like that you'll have just eaten and rested up before your big day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-delivery-date#post-203598 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:33:44 +0000 LuLu Mom 203598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Much rather have it in the morning, that way if it gets pushed back you aren't STARVING already like you would be at 3 pm. You will rememebr it no matter what I'm sure, it's your LO birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-delivery-date#post-203596 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:32:03 +0000 kokobee 203596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>august 1! easy to remember! you'll probably be too excited to feel hungry anyway ;P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-delivery-date#post-203594 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:30:05 +0000 DillonLion 203594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd rather have it scheduled for first thing in the morning. I do the same with my regular doctor's appointments. Less likely for anyone to get in front of you that has a huge delay, therefore delaying your procedure/visit (especially if you can't eat beforehand!!!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-delivery-date#post-203593 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:30:00 +0000 Rubies 203593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>August 1st!

But it's easy to remember! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-delivery-date#post-203592 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:28:58 +0000 banana 203592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a scheduled csection and I can't decide on which date to choose. They each have pros/cons and I need help!!</p> <p>August 1st @3pm<br /> Pros: Easy to remember (1st of the month)<br /> Cons: I'm not allowed to eat anything after midnight so I'll be starving all day!</p> <p>August 2nd @8am<br /> Pros: It's early in the morning so I can eat a big dinner and not be hungry all day.<br /> Cons: More difficult to remember than the first?</p> <p>Which would you choose? </p>
