overreacting cause of hormones?
Im due July 18, ftm. I've been told that baby is measuring almost a week bigger but doctor doesn't change the due date unless its a 2 wk difference. Anyways, my mom and sister are going to Europe for 2 weeks and coming back on July 8. 10 days before my due date. Im worried if i go early, she will be across the world in another country. My boyfriend will be by my side, which gives me all the comfort in the world but there's something different about a moms support. Am i overreacting? What are the chances of going early? I haven't guilt tripped get or anything about it, and I won't. Just nervous. Also, my other sister is having a baby due at the end of Aug, so she couldn't go after my baby is born.
Baby can come at any time doesn't have to be on your due date it can be before day off or days after there is no way in telling just because your baby shows one week more bigger it just means he is growing fast. I wouldn't tell my mom to change her plans. She can help you when she comes back
I dont expect my mom to plan around me but is hope she'd want to be around. in case of anything. She will be here for after the baby, which is very important. After all i am her oldest daughter and it is my first baby! Lol
I would be pretty upset too honestly but then again we are a bunch of also hormonal pregnant women saying this lol.
I was 36 with both my first and second when they arrived.

Well with first babies they ar usually late so tgeres that. But yes I would be kinda upset to. My family is going camping a week after my due date but I'm sure I will have the baby by then this is my fourth. Just let them know your concerns and talk about it and see what your doc says
Typically the first baby doesn't come earlier most of the time comes later. Even being a week ahead I'd not stress to much. I'm also measuring a week ahead but iv been known for big long baby's and that plays a role in it. U may just have a bigger and longer baby. My mom will be out of town on my due date this time so I'm in the same boat and she's supposed to keep my 2 little ones lol. No stressing it will all work out
I agree with schenner2... You can't ask them to change their schedules because of something that may or may not happen... And having your families support after the baby is born is just as good!! Some people don't even have that.
I was 3 weeks early with my first! She was just impatient! As much as it s*cks you cant really ask people to change their schedule to accommodate a maybe early baby. Plus i think moms are more helpful after baby gets here if i had to choose between labour or the first week home. Just my 2 cents!
Ask your doctor for some more clarification on where he/she thinks you are and what he/she would advise. Also, mention it to your mom that you do really want her there and that your nervous about it. If anything, I'm sure she'll be humbled to know you want her there with you that much.
Most women do not go into labor early with their first. However, my mom was due with me (her first) at the beginning of August and my birthday is July 22.
With my first, I was surprisingly also due the first week of August and only had my daughter 3 days early because we had to schedule a csection. I hadn't even started feeling contractions, so I would have most likely gone over 40 weeks if I could have waited and delivered vaginally.

If it is your first I wouldn't worry about the baby coming that early but it is impossible to know for sure
I know it's impossible to predict, but what are the chances of baby coming early?
I agree, tell your mom how you feel. I would be upset too. Esspecially with your first child, i would want my mom to be there.
I would be upset with my family if they went on a trip 2 weeks before due date just because you hear so many stories of women going into labor much sooner than expected. But what can you do except let them know how you feel right?
