Do any babies come on time?

What was your EDD and when did baby actually decide to show up?

DS1 was 3 weeks early, DS2 1 day late - so to answer your question I guess no!!

Aww, Dabihp, I sense the desperation in your threads, bless you! My DS was born at 37 and 6 to an incredibly relieved me. I couldn't believe my luck, or that I hadn't sorted my nursing bras yet!

lol, Flossam, is it that obvious...

as u may have read then, I was booked in for a section as dd1 didnt drop, so had elective with her, however at last antenatal, baby had engaged, so i cancnelled my section (whihc was yesterday!)

Am due otmorrow, but hav ehospital in the mornign and they have rebooked me for wednesday, so I have to go into labour myself before then, otherwise its another section -which i am very very keen to avoid..

Didnt labour at ALL with dd one (was one day overdue) so do not know what to expect this time....

but heres hoping XX
