When I was pregnant with DS I was having gut feelings from the beginning about aspects of his birth that I couldn't shake. I was dreaming about it really vividly even though there was no reason at the time to believe his birth would be much different to my DD's.
Both my girls were over by at least a week.
DD1 - had no idea
DD2 - was due May 29 - I told everyone I was having a June baby. She was born June 5.
DS - had a feeling he would be early. On the 1st of March I was invited to a BBQ for the 8th. I actually said 'sorry, but I'm planning on being in hospital that day'. Not only was DS born on that day, but he was 2 days early!
With dd2 i said to dh at 35 weeks "there is just NO WAY that i am going to last 5 more weeks!!!! it is NOT possible that i can fit 5 more weeks of baby in this belly!"
at 37 weeks i rang my mum in the morning and told her to drive (5 hrs) cos i was on my way to my 37 week check up that afternoon and i intended to demand the doc induce me on the spot cos there was just no more room for the baby in there.
i went to the loo before setting off for the doc appt, and my waters broke. DD was born 45 minutes later.
I found out my EDD with Madeleine was July 24, and I told my ex that I felt that the baby would be born on July 17. He and I actually had a bet going and I won, Madeleine was born on July 17.
I also had a feeling that I would go early with Harrison, and he was born 5 days early, though toward the end I felt like I would go over with him.
