Ready to deliver
- I am having my 3rd child and I am so ready my first child was 2 weeks early my second was 2 weeks early. I am wondering are the due dates accurate?
- —Guest baby due in 2 weeks
Who knows?!
- The first was born the day before her due date. I was so sure the second would come on time but she arrived six days after her expected due date. I am 26 weeks with my third little girl and I just wonder when she will arrive.

Going past your due date
- I am expecting my third child. My first was born at 40 weeks and 4 days. My second was born two days after my due date. The time when the baby is born depends on many factors, some of which may not be used in calculating the due date. For this one, I have told my family it would be born in mid-July. My due date is July 12, so that's probably about right.

Ready for my lil man !!!!
- I'm glad I read these responses because I actually thought that my lil man was going be born on his due date but now I know better. I'm 21 weeks and we're waiting my son.

I'm ready!
- I'll be 37 weeks on Monday. I thought my baby girl would be here early. I've been walking and doing everything possible to start true labor, but my other two kids came early. I guess this one is taken her time.

cylce length
- I read that one reason due dates can be off is because they assume a 28 day cycle when there are many women who have longer or shorter cycles. Mine is longer so I am just assuming that the due date is going to be off. I have told my family early August and not a specific date!

Still Waiting!
- My first and second babies came exactly on their due dates. I am carrying my 3rd one after 8 years and he is 7 days overdue. Thank you pals for sharing your experiences because I was dead worried but am settled now knowing that he is coming when his time is up.

LOL @ Dates
- I have 3 kids, and am expecting number 4. First was induced on the medico dates, 7 days after my dates. Second was 5 days off. Third was 11 days overdue (with 6 weeks of contractions hourly leading up to it). This one, well it will come when it is ready.

Self-set Due Date
- I am 22 weeks and on my third baby. My 1st came at 37 and the other was appointed to come at 39 weeks because I had gestational diabetes. At 39 weeks my baby was 8lbs 11ozs and I didn't want to be cut so my labor was given an exact date. I was so relieved and happy to see my baby I couldn't help but cry at the sight of him.

Not Gonna Sweat It
- My 1st baby came 10 days after his due date and it was so stressful with everyone asking everyday. With my 2nd we prayed and asked God when the baby was going to come so we could be ready because our birth center was 2 hours away. That baby came right on his due date - just like God told us. (We prayed separately and compared notes.) This 3rd baby we're having locally, and I'm not concerned with when- I'm in no hurry. Just trying to maintain my peace and be ready. I sure get sick of the same people asking me when I'm due every single week though. Next time someone asks me that I'm gonna look at my wrist and say, "Oh, any moment now," and laugh.

Due Dates are just guesses..
- I'm expecting my third baby. I always go to 42 weeks. You can't expect your baby to come on its due date.

Still Waiting...
- I had my 1st baby 3 weeks early at 5pd 6oz, so now with my 2nd baby on the way I just assumed that this baby would come 3 weeks early too. I changed my due date in my head but that day came and went. We are now and still no baby. The doctors said the 2nd baby is healthy and a good size and will come when it is ready... I know he is right but of course I am still anxious to have the baby. My due date is soon, I guess only time will tell!

had my baby girl today
- It doesn't happen often but my lil lady was born this morning on her due date. My son was born 3 weeks before his due date. Due dates aren't usually very accurate. I was persuaded I was going to go over with my daughter.
