    Ever have a feeling & it was right?

    Ok, this is for the non first time mums.

    Being my 4th, and each baby being later then the last. I am expecting this bub to be late also.
    BUT over the last few days/week I have had this odd feeling. Not a physical feeling just one of those gut feelings that this bub is going to be early and not just a few days. Weeks maybe. Not that early there are problems just early.

    So anyone else think that I should listen to this feeling & make sure I have things ready soon or its just all in my head....

    I think whats doing it is my last scan saying the bub was 2 weeks ahead. I know scans are just an average etc. But I can't shake this feeling.

    I thought I would go early with Marcus as Jason was on his EDD and fast so I'm hoping your gut is right!

    My 1st DS was post date. the hossy let me go to 43 weeks.

    I had a sense that i would go over again but towards the middle i felt that i would go early. Even the GP, doctors at the hossy and clinic nurses said bubs was engaged and i'd go early... Bubs ended up dis-engaging and i was induced 10 days post date...

    I hope for you that your feeling is right best get ready JIC.

    Yep I think you should listen to it.

    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.

    My gut was right

    All through my first pregnancy I felt that DD would be 2 weeks early and she came at 37w6d - so I would get ready if I was you

    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.
