Anyone just KNOW when they'd go into labour?

[MummaSue]

Hey guys,

I have this really strong feeling that bubby will come early..... don't know if I'm going to be right or not but my bump has totally dropped and I am HUGE for 34 weeks.

Did anyone else have these feelings and were you right about them?
I should note that today is my first day of maternity leave and I have way too much time on my hands now - hence thinking about this stuff!!


Thanks
Sue xxxx

Hey Sue

I thought my bub would come early, i left work at 34 weeks and was convinced she would be here within a week or so, nope still waiting

I have had lots of signs the whole time, baby dropped,she has been engaged for a while, pooing lots cramping, BH contractions , everything but still bubba is tucked away happy in my belly

I had the strongest feeling she would be early but she wasn't

Thats not saying u will be wrong, as ur bub may come , lets hope not for your sake as i have needed these weeks soooo bad to catch up on things and finish things and the most important REST---

As much as I hoped, no, lol.
After DD1 was 8 days late, I did know that DD2 would be late too. My EDD was late May, but I told everyone I was having a June baby.
With DS I had an early feeling. He did come early...a whole 2 days, lol.

[whoops]

I had that feeling with DS2 and he was 3 weeks early, didn't have it for DS3 and he was 1 weeks early. Having that feeling this time, but not sure if it is because I am just expecting him to be early after the last two or because I am getting anxious about it. Sorry haven't really helped at all, but hopefully your bub stays in there until at least 37 weeks.

Thanks guys, I'm not thinking she's coming in the next week or anything but I do have 37 weeks in my head for some reason.

I'm on maternity leave now, this baby has been a long time coming and I just can't quite believe that I'm here. I guess I'm just getting a bit stressy because I now have all this time on my hands..... I hate having too much time to think!!

I had a feeling both my first two would come early, but they were both overdue . DS1 was 8 days overdue, DS2 was 5 days overdue.

By the time I was pg with DD I knew not to trust that feeling . She was born around her EDD

Not an early or late feeling as such, but a kind of almost sarcastic 'I bet he comes on..."

My godfather died 6 days before Nate was born. I wasn't allowed to travel due to complications and I sent DH to the funeral 6hours away....In my heart I knew Nate would pick that day to come Surely enough my waters broke as the funeral ended....luckily my DH is a highway patrolman so the drive back was rather quick lol.

I was so sure that DS would arrive early..........like at about 37 weeks. He was due on 2nd June, and I often accidentally told people I was due in May, as I just had this really strong feeling we wouldn't make it until June. Well he didn't even make May, he came in April at 35 weeks on the dot! I wasn't quite prepared for it being that early.

Who knows? But seeing as you have all this time on your hands, maybe do a little reading on premmie bubs (because it's generally not something we look into that much until it happens to us), but all the while telling your bub to hang in there for another few weeks

As soon as I fell pregnant with DS I just had a feeling he'd be born on my dad's anniversary of his passing. I even said as much to my DH. Due date was set at 08/08/09 three days before the anniversary.
I had my DS on the 11/08/09, 21 years to the day of my dad passing away. What made it even more special was that we had decided to name DS after my father, before we were even sure he was a boy.
So you never know!! Good luck with it all.

I thought I would be late, but ended up in labour at 32 weeks, which was stopped. But after membranes ruptured at 33 weeks, I was induced and ended up birthing at 34 weeks.

[miss.mestiza]

since they say that first borns are always late, i believed that my daughter would arrive a few days over 40 weeks, I ended up having her @ 41 weeks. my doctor did tell me at about 35 weeks that she may come a lil early because she was head down at like 30 weeks, and he said she was measuring ahead, but she ended up only being 6lb 12oz LOL, not TOO big, but not entirely small...
