I'm due on May 21 and have had 3 people tell me today that they think I'm going to go early. My boss said she thinks I'll go into labor this weekend. (God, I wish!)
Have you gotten any predictions from coworkers/family/friends on when they think you'll go into labor?
If you've already had your baby, were the majority of people correct?

My friend just told me "the day after tomorrow" (I am due on the 13th).
My mom has told me "at least 10 days late."
UGH.

Everyone and their mama told me that I wouldn't make it to my due date. Strangers would tell me so in the grocery store. It was ridiculous how many times I heard that I would go into labor early. Joke was on everyone else. DS was two days late.

Everyone said the first baby is always late, usually by a week or two. Thankfully I went into labor on my due date! Wagon Jr. was born 24 hours later!

Everyone keeps saying this week by the weekend! (ie two wks early) But as you know I've had preterm labor since 30w and was jut released from bedrest so easy for them to say!

I haven't gone into labor yet (thankfully!), I'm due Sept 25. DH thinks I'm going to deliver Sept 15. My mom had me (first baby at 18) almost two weeks early!

Everyone told me I'd be early, and did predict certain dates. But LO was right on time, nobody guessed that!

My mom had all of us around 10 days early. So I totally thought I was going to deliver early too!
Had my LO 2 days late! I wonder if I would have had her later if I didn't have acupuncture ..

My mom tells me that this baby will be in there as long as she wants to stay and if there's any justice in the world, it will be 10 days late (I was 2 weeks late and a . . . large baby). I think it's just her desire for revenge talking!

My work actually made a poll this time around. Everyone bet 5$ and put their name on the date they think I'll give birth.
There are some people I like (those who said before the 13th) and those I like less (said I'd give birth late) It's super sweet because the "poll money" will go to Sienna. a good 75$ worth.

Everyone said I'd go early- good thing too because I would have murdered anyone who suggested going late 
Everyone was guessing the 9th of January with the full moon (due the 13th), but he decided to come on the 7th.

@blushink: I think I feel the same - those that say I'll go late are now on my sh*t list!
@lemondrop: I have a feeling most people are hesitant to tell a pregnant lady that they think she's going to be overdue. Never know when those "punching" hormones will kick in!

My friends are hoping I'll go into labor on Memorial Day weekend (I'm due June 9th). I would LOVE to go early but I would like to wait until June 1st so I get my double pearl.

My work had a "Babylicious Pool" and no one won because my LO arrived much later than they all expected!
