How much before or after your due date were you born?

[mvd]

I was supposed to be born May 2, but waited until May 12 - which is my mom's birthday! What a gift she got.

[LeftyMom]

1. 2 weeks early. My son was 4 weeks late. nt

[u4ic]

2. A month premature n/t

[bicentennial_baby]

3. 3 weeks late

:)

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

17. me too

:hi:

[Left Is Write]

4. I was one day early.

As were each of my three children. Weird, huh?

[mainegreen]

5. 1 month early. nt

[johnnie]

6. I honestly don't remember

But I do know that exactly 9 months before I was born was November 22, 1963. (August 22, 1964)

[Left Is Write]

22. That's an interesting note!

[underpants]

7. My mother carried me for 11 months

I wasn't coming out I could all ready tell you f***ers are CRAZY!

Actually I was "fully functioning" before I came out. It was quite a mess I am told.

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. Ewwwww...I'm guessing you were poop covered?

Could have used those underpants a bit earlier eh?

[flamingyouth]

8. I was born right on my due date.

I am still prompt to this day. :D

[mvd]

9. Hi, flamingyouth!

That's cool! :hi:

[flamingyouth]

12. Hi mvd!

How are you?:hi:

[mvd]

13. I'm good

Afraid to say it here, but I'm actually looking forward to getting Halloween over and the Holiday season started. How are you?

[greatauntoftriplets]

10. I was five days late.

Oddly enough, my cousin was born on my due date and I was born on his due date. We always joke about the fact that he is the older of us.

;)

[mtowngman]

11. I don't think they had due dates that long ago n/t

[Kerrytravelers]

14. I was late. It was precedent setting.

[Elidor]

15. I was a month overdue

And really - why come out? I had everything I needed in my womb-room. Food and ambient music piped in. Soft rubber-room to kick and bounce around in. Yeah, I had it made in there. They had to send a search party to come drag me out.

And I've been pissed off about it ever since. :grr:

[Neoma]

16. I have no fucking idea.

[MountainLaurel]

18. 15 days late

And I haven't caught up since.

[BarenakedLady]

19. Not sure

:shrug:

But I can sure tell you all mine were overdue, the little fuckers. ;)

[SeattleGirl]

20. Almost a month late.

My poor mom!

[miss_american_pie]

21. My mother doesn't remember

My first was 8 days overdue. The second was three days early. They both were evicted. :)

[Maine-ah]

25. LOL, I just gave mine her eviction notice.

I said, ok, you have 12 days to move yourself and all of your belongings out, after that all utilities are being shut down, and I am going to start drinking! I'm due Nov. 8th, first kid.

I was almost 3 weeks late and my husband was 3 weeks late. Hopefully, she doesn't take after either of us.

[miss_american_pie]

28. Good luck

Mine first was huge, which is why they wanted to take the second early. He was more huge. :D

Best wishes for an easy labor. :toast:

[Maine-ah]

51. Thanks MAP!

yesterday was my last day at work, now it's just catching up at home and trying to get some rest before the little one arrives! My last ultra sound, on thursday, they guessed her to be about 7.5 lbs.

[Xithras]

23. 36 days late and mom NEVER let me forget it!

About three weeks after my due date they even tried to induce her with drugs. 99% of the time that works. In my poor moms case, she endured hours of cramping and contractions but still went home at the end of the day with me in her belly.

They finally scheduled a C-Section to take me out manually, and as luck would have it she went into labor two hours before her appointment time. She never let me forget that she was in labor nearly two days AFTER that point too (45 hours of labor).

What can I say, I was a stubborn kid :)

[azmouse]

24. 8 days

Coulda been worse I guess.

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. I was due on May 28th, I was born on June 6th.

:hi:

[Bunny]

29. My first daughter was 13 days late. I was really irritated by it, too.

She was supposed to be born on 12/21, and I had visions of bringing my new baby home just in time for Christmas. No good. Then I thought she'd be born on Christmas Day. Fat chance. When that didn't work out, I hoped that she'd be the New Year's Baby. No luck there, either. She strolled in on January 3, finally. :eyes:

My second girl was just one day late, so that wasn't too bad.

I'm not sure how late I was, but I think I was at least a week or so overdue.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. I was a whole entire month early!

My due date was Christmas!

I know I got wind of this, and decided there and then that no way would I arrive on that holiday!

So I arrived just after Thanksgiving!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[mvd]

31. As much as I like Christmas, I would not like..

to have a birthday on or near it. Your birthday would often be forgotten. Hi, Peggy! :hi:

[devilgrrl]

32. I was born either a week ahead or a week after...

I forget which.

[Solon]

33. 2 Weeks late...

January 31 is when I was born, should have been born on the 15th, I was born at 12 lbs, 0 oz.

[Mutley]

34. One day late.

My mom went into labor with me on my due date, but I took my sweet time. :evilgrin:

[NewWaveChick1981]

35. Hey! I was born on May 2 but was supposedly due on April 18.

:P I think Mom's obstetrician was using a broken calculator, because I was two weeks late---as were my sister and my brother. :rofl: I think her due date method was way off.

[QMPMom]

53. LOL!

My DD, according to the Dr., was due Sept. 15. I, only being the *mother* and the one that got pregnant, knew I was due the last week of August. They went in and hauled her scrawny butt (5lbs 7 oz) out on Sept. 13. She was so darn skinny and you could tell she had lost weight and was *way* over due.

They dragged my DS's breech butt out 10 days early. He was 8 lbs 7 oz and due on Christmas Day. The listened to me when I told them that I *knew* when he was due after the experience with DD.

[deadparrot]

36. I was due January 20.

They induced my mother on January 30th.

They induced my mother on January 31st.

They induced my mother on February 1st.

On February 2nd, they said "fuck it" and C-sectioned me out. :)

[ThomCat]

37. Two and a half months early.

I was a very wee tiny thing when I was born.

[Jamastiene]

38. I was 1 full month late and

I was born in the middle of the night. I was due in early July, but I decided to finish growing my full head of hair and some fingernails so I could come out clawing.

My mother was watching a Tom Jones concert on television the night she went into labor and didn't want to leave without watching the rest of the concert. My aunt said she'd meet her at the hospital when she decided to get there. My mother and my other aunt finished watching the Tom Jones concert before she would go to the hospital.

Maybe that's why I always asked for "one more song" before I went to bed as a kid and snuck back up to listen to music all hours of the night. Hell, I still do it in a way. I will post one more post before going to bed or listen to one more song or both now. :rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

39. I was a day late

and apparently a dollar short!

:P

[Ekirh]

40. One month and a half early-

C-Section birth . .

They said I would never walk or talk . .

Boy were they wrong (ESPECIALLY on the talking according to my Mom)

[QMPMom]

41. Thanks to a blue racer snake....

....that my mother ran from, I was born 5 days early.

[lizziegrace]

43. I have a blue racer

living on my property. :scared:

[lizziegrace]

42. 6 weeks premature

but that's not unusual for twins. We were both under 5 pounds each.

[reyd reid reed]

44. Two weeks.

None of my kids made it that late, though...two of 'em were born 13 days late but none of 'em hit that 14th day.

[dolo amber]

45. 2 days...was supposed to be Mar 20, but was Mar 22

That the fates, or I would've never been able to share birthdays with William Shatner. :patriot:

[Kire]

46. My mom had eclampsia.

So I came out a month early.

[kedrys]

47. Born on November 22nd, but my dad swears I was due on the 11th

which happens to be *his* birthday, and he explains my stubborn streak thus. At least I come by it honestly. :P

[leftofthedial]

48. 6 weeks early

[Missy Vixen]

49. Three weeks after

I was born July 28, 1960, weighing in at four pounds, six ounces.

Julie

[scarlet_owl]

50. I was supposed to be born on my mother's birthday- December 17.

I stayed in until January 19.

[StellaBlue]

52. 2 weeks late

nt

[Deja Q]

54. 2 months, 3 weeks, 1 day -- and that's early

:)

[qnr]

55. Wow. People actually keep track of things like this? Not saying there is

anything wrong with it, just that it would never have occurred to me.

[Deja Q]

59. Don't forget, I bothered to estimate my date of conception...

then made a post about it. :blush:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=5676540

[qnr]

60. Impressive. I'm only about 25% sure of which state I was conceived in,

with no idea of the date.

[ScreamingMeemie]

66. And we all replied...

:blush:x2

:hug:

[Nikia]

63. It is my baby book

My mother also kept some information about her pregnancy and saved it for me along with my baby book and school report cards, pictures, and other stuff.

[ZombieNixon]

56. One week early.

I was due on March 14, but was born on the 7th, which happens to be my maternal grandfather's birthday. He was there and helped deliver my head and shoulders (I was born in a maternity center, not a hospital :P).

[bigwillq]

57. Born 6 weeks early

Due Date was April 12

Born Feb. 27

[libnnc]

58. I was 6 weeks early--miracle baby.

1970.

My mother had severe toxemia and was flat on her back with me from the end of June till September 18. She was in the hospital for so long, she knew every mother of every kid my age in town. :silly:

Back then (according to her) the maternity ward was run like a women's prison. She was allowed few visitors, no cable tv, no baths, no sugar or sweets, absolutely no salt. She lived on eggs, grits and dry toast for 2 months. She was allowed one spoonful of lime sherbet a day. :party:

She was sick as a dog (has never let me forget it, either...:eyes:). She was scheduled for a c-section but her doc thought I'd have a better chance if I was born vaginally. My mom nearly slapped his face when he told her what his plan was. I was born at 6:20 am, by noon that day she was walking around and feeling like a million bucks. I weighed 3 pounds, 3 ounces. They had to cut the premie diapers in half to fit me.

Her doctor didn't think either of us would make it. Told my dad as he was signing my birth certificate, "Now Jack, we won't be doing this again, ya hear?"

That's how I was born-ded :hi:

edit to add: I was so early, I didn't have fingernails yet. :freak:

[Blue-Jay]

61. I don't remember it ever being discussed.

[Nikia]

62. 27 days early

I was supposed to be born when my husband actually was.
My dad thinks that they messed up on estimating due date though because I weighed over 6 pounds and didn't show any signs of being premature. Maybe I was an early bloomer though.

[Nicole]

64. 7 days late n/t

[Lady Freedom]

65. Due March16

Born April 16!!!
