    DD1 I was 41+2, DD2 I was 40+1, I am thinking DD3 might be nice and come a few days early!! Good luck hun, how long before your EDD should he be back? Mine gets back 6 weeks before my EDD from a 3 month training course.

    He's away for 3 weeks overseas and he'll be back only 4 1/2 weeks before my EDD! (35 wks + 5 days)

    Does anyone have any tips on how to keep my little bubs inside me for as long as possible? I've heard that being totally relaxed helps - anything else? I'll accept any advice - witchcraft, hocus pocus, grandma's secrets to a long pregnancy etc. I know most people are ok with bubs coming a bit early but not when their hubby is out of the country!

    Alioops - a 3 month training course... wow. Is he back for a weekend or 2 during that time?

    If bubs comes more than 3 weeks before your EDD it will be officially classed ad Premature. If bubs is premature that is a medical emergency and if DH is away as defence (I think you once said he was) then they should send him home ASAP. Meanwhile it is worth setting up a support network incase bubs does want daddy home before he is supposed to be, but I honestly think that he will be home in plently of time.

    My first arrived at 41+1 weeks which is actually the average time that first babies are born!
