I was sure I was going to be early (mom had all 3 of us early). I was late though!

I expected to go late and I was late! I didn't want to be induced and would have waited longer but my doctor said no. LO was born 9 days after my due date!

I thought I'd be a little early and I was right ~ LO arrived 4 days before her due date!

With my first one I thought I would go early, seven days late. With my second I thought I would go on time, three weeks early. Go figure!

Early. Lo dropped early and my doctor kept telling me she didn't think id make it to my next apt. But lo came on her due date.
I think if the doctor didn't say that I would have been way less anxious about it all.... I was just sitting there waiting for something that wasn't happening.

Baby has measured 4 days smaller than my EDD every time, so I'm expecting to go 4 days late

I'm pretty sure I'm going to go late, because everything else in this pregnancy has gone so smoothly and how I want that obviously it will be the thing that defies my wants.
I would love to go a week early. Mostly because my due date is December 11, and I want this baby as far from Christmas as I can healthily get her.

I am hoping to go a tiny bit early. Family members are flying in and I'd rather tey arrive after I've had baby instead of before

I thought I would be late. Even had my parenta fly in 2 days past my due date! I did not expect to FINALLY be induced at 42 weeks. I,thought she would at least come on her own. Not to mention, I thought she was conceived a week before they said so she may have really been 43 weeks!

I am going to be induced to make sure DH can be there (he works offshore). So I expect to go at least 2 or 3 days before my due date.
Otherwise I feel like she would absolutely come late. That's just how things usually roll for me!

I expected to go late so had DH take time off a week after my due date, but I went a week early!

Expected late because I was so sure that I was correct about the due date, thinking it was later than what the doctor said. I went 2 weeks early (aka 2 weeks plus ten days earlier than I expected!)

LO always measure big on ultrasounds so i thought I'd go early. I ended up having prodromal labor for several days and got induced 2 days before my due date because I was so fatigued from not sleeping at all. She was born 1 day early.

@sorrycharlie: Tell me about it! They thought conction was August 1st, but I had already been having lots of symptoms by the time I finalllly tested on August 25th. 2 lines right away without a wait. So, I do thibk she was 43 weeks. Luckiky, only 7lbs6oz, with head circ in the 45th percentile! I was expecting the worse:)

I thought I would be a couple weeks early but no such luck My due date is Thursday but we're inducing on Tuesday so I'll still technically be early but not as early as I anticipated.

i expected to go early but thats because i knew almsot the whole pregancy i would be induced due to issues and he arrived 2 days after my induction at 39 weeks 4 days.

I really would love for him to come around his due date or a bit early but i anticipate a wait and i plan on avoiding inductions or c sections unless medically necessary so i could be waiting around a while. we shall see. I think it helps to prepare for both in your mind so you don't make yourself crazy in either incident.

I'm expecting late because first pregnancies are usually longer. If baby is anything like daddy, they will DEFINITELY be late!

I thought I'd be early because he dropped so low a couple weeks early. But he came on his due date.
