Feelings about due date? 🤔

Question

I've had a feeling our baby would come a little early and another expectant mom just shared the same thought. Is this just weird thinking? Or did you have a "feeling" about your baby coming early or late?

Answer

I was due on April 1. Wasn't overly excited about an April fools baby, and my boss was getting back from vacation on the 1st. It wasn't mandatory, but I wanted to try to wait till he got back. Then my son had a baseball tournament on the 2nd. I of course wasn't going, but wanted son and hubby to enjoy (had several friends on call in case of labor). Then Sunday didn't seem like the best day, so my husband and I said all through the 3rd trimester that she was coming on Monday April 4 (no reason to expect earlier...my son was late too). Sure enough, woke up in labor at 2:45am on April 4 and she was born at 5:13am.

Answer

There's no such thing as a due date. Babies aren't on timers. There's a guess date. Babies are born in their own time. "Early" babies are premies. 
Just because they come out before the EDD doesn't mean they're early. ☺️
