Tell me I won't necessarily be overdue!

if it helps, my DS1 was born at 41weeks plus 3 days and my DS2 was born one day after his EDD. So you won't necessarily go "over" again, but you might. Please remember that EDD is just a date in the middle of the 5 weeks that your baby is most likely to be born, so it can help to look at the last date in that range as the date you expect your baby, rather than EDD. So add 14 days to your EDD and know you will have your baby by then

I too agree with the others. Definately possible for bub to be here by Christmas. I have a Christmas baby and there are lots of positives about not been born around this time. If I had my time again I'd pray she would go very over due to be born in January. She just had an early birthday party as no one can come close to Christmas but still hardly anyone could come due to Christmas parties etc. Then she is very athletic but she competes against alot of children that are basically 11-12months older then her so that disadvantages her also. There are also lots of benefits on been born in 2012 also. Hope bub does arrive early for you but if thats what you would like. The end can get so difficult.
