Any other October 2013 babies

[goddess25]

Like the thread says looking for older women like me who will be having their babies in October.

Hope your all doing well.

 

[fairsinger]

I am due Oct. 30.

 

[goddess25]

Congrats fairsinger. I am due October 5. Only 6 days to go until I am in double digits, very exciting.

 

[goddess25]

I also had a son in 2009, and a daughter in 2011 with some losses in between.

 

[fairsinger]

I am so sorry to hear about your losses. Our sons are very close in age! Mine turned 4 in April. And it looks like you have a boy, then a girl and now another girl coming. If the sono tech was right at my last scan, I will have boy-girl-girl also!

[grace10209]

I'm due oct 11 with baby number 1!!
I just turned 37 too, anyone have any tips for a first time mom???

 

[goddess25]

Go with the flow and try not to have too many structured ideas about a birth plan. First time around its so xciting. Congrats.

Hello ladies!

May I join you? My EDD is Nov. 1, but my feeling is baby #3 will be born in October, we'll see. Everything is going normal so far.

I am 37 yo, DS is almost 6 and DD - 2.5.
This time we expect a boy, my son is very excited.

 

[goddess25]

Congrats on being team blue. I reckon you will probably be a bit early too. Did you have your other 2 early?

 

[NR3]

Thanks.
My son was 2 days early, my daughter was 2 days late.
But while expecting my son, I was on a leave and had all the time for myself. With my daughter I had 2 exams to take and I was very careful not to bring on labour before their dates. 1 of the exams was just the day before my EDD.

Have you seen any statistics about early delivery 3rd time around?
What about your children, were they born on time?

 

[goddess25]

Son was 3 days late and daughter was 3 days early.

My mw told me stastically 3rd babies are similar arrival to 2nd.

My edd is 5 October and my parents arrive 2October so I am hoping they can make it here.

 

[grace10209]

and what about 1st babies, i think those are generally ontime or late right?

 

[goddess25]

I think for most women 1st babies are statistically a bit late.

 

[grace10209]

ok sounds good. I feel like there is just soo much to learn and that i wont know until she's here.

I am cool about the open birth plan. I would like to deliver vaginally, and i will likely get an epidural (im not super strong), i am hoping to avoid pitocin and avoid a csection, but I am ok if i have to get either for her or my sake............I will just "go with" - whatever the doctor tells me.

I hope to breastfeed but again, know that some women struggle with it and i wont be devastated if i can't. All i can do is try right?

Hi due the 22nd October. Second child, with a couple of losses between. LO is 4.

 

[NR3]

Is there anybody who has decided not to find out the sex of the baby? It's been interesting how people decide on that and stick to the decision.

As for me, I couldn't wait till the end.
