Under or over due date?

Did you's go under or over due date? Is there any signs you are going to go under or over? I'm moving into a new house less then 2 weeks before my due date but it's getting hard now so not sure which I'd prefer

I went to 42+1 with my first!

PenguinsHatchedAnEgg · 18/05/2014 20:30

There is no way of telling, but a strong family or personal history one way or another can be an indication.

40+2 days which wasn't so bad. :) saying that I was ready to have baby at 38 weeks and was the most grumpiest and moodiest untill I had my little baba made an appearance. he's now a month old how times flys :)

Sweetpea86 · 18/05/2014 20:52

Sorry he was my first :)

ds1: 42 weeks
ds2: 40+1
ds3: 41 weeks
ds4: 40+2

no sign with any of them really, they just come when they're ready!

bakingtins · 18/05/2014 20:56

both of mine on their due dates, hoping I can manage a hat trick with no3 (currently 37+2)
Apparently only 5% of babies are on thir due date though so who knows!

Petal26 · 18/05/2014 21:09

41+6 with number 1, hoping this one's not as comfy when the time comes!

DramaAlpaca · 18/05/2014 21:13

DS1 39+2
DS2 40+5
DS3 39+2

We might have miscalculated DS2's due date Grin

LittleBallOfFur · 18/05/2014 21:15

Ds1 day before due date

Ds2 - we moved house 3 weeks before due date and I was convinced he would be early. 42 weeks exactly!

HillyandHally · 18/05/2014 21:16

41+3 with dc1

Currently feeding 1wo dc2 who was due today!

No particular signs either way! Good luck with it all

Angelto5 · 18/05/2014 21:25

Ds1 12 days early
Dd1 2 days early
Ds2 9 days early
Dd2 10 days early
Dd3 3 days early

As i like to say-they come when they're cooked!!!

DC1 40+10 after an induction. Baby engaged from 36 weeks which made me excited about the impending (not) arrival.
DC2 37+5, completely unexpected. In hindsight I did have several weeks of occasional severe back ache so painful I had to breathe through it.

When a friend of mine had her first she had about 2-3 weeks of early labour pains and false alarms. Her baby arrived a fee days before the due date.

Agree with previous poster, babies come when they are ready!

Watching with interest Grin

PuppyMummy · 19/05/2014 06:45

im under 2 weeks til my due date at 38+2 and still at work.

Not sure you can guess it really!

Sareva · 19/05/2014 13:47

Dc1 - 37+5
Dc2 - 38
Dc3 - born last Thursday at 35+5
All spontaneous and started with waters breaking, with DC3 my mucous plug started coming away a few days before

Fasterkillpussycat · 19/05/2014 13:49

Dd born on due date - waters did break 2 days beforehand. No signs until day waters broke.

Barbsta · 19/05/2014 13:53

Me and my husband were both roughly a week early so il let you's know if that is true for me :)
