Sarah like you my babies are late being born at 41 and 42 weeks.
Anyway even with my late arrivals every pregnancy is different, I wanted the latest date possible for bubs arrival, OB said that he doesn`t like doing them any earlier then 38 weeks and usually no later then 39 weeks.
Our blue bundle of joy will be arriving on 17th June, at exactly 39 weeks, I was given two dates, the other date was 5 days earlier which was too early for me, OB was happy I picked the later date and it was nice to be given the choice to do so, even weirder is right along we had a feeling bubs would be here on the 17th!!
I do find it a bit strange that this bubs will be arriving so early compared to Matthew and Adrian but I also see their point to doing it at this stage, the last thing they want is an emergency c/sec.
In saying all this I also see a number of women have gone into labour or are very close to dilating when it comes time for their c/sec, I wonder if this happens as the brain isn`t worried about going into labour IYKWIM.
In some ways I wouldn`t be at all surprised if my body does something weird on me and decide to go early.
Also my OB has been very good with my dates, he`s gone on what I`ve told him not what the ultrasound or my last bleeding told him, there`s been no swapping and changing dates due to u/s dates like other OB`s have done to me in the pass.
It`s been good to know way in advance as to bubs birth date, I was told 6 weeks ago and I also know it`ll be after lunch time.
