iMazed - I am due one day before you....this is quite the stretch, huh?! I am nervous about labor, but SO getting ready for it. It feels like she is hanging half way out of me and I could probably shake her hand if I wanted to! LOL! Just a few more days and we will be holding our babies too....

Due date 12th of May, still hanging on! Feeling like I'm gonna stay pregnant forever, lol :P I guessed he would come 2 weeks early, but I was wrong. Now I am guessing the 17th (it'll be full moon around here), which would put me at almost a week past my due date. We'll see what happens!

You gained only 8 pounds?  I have gained 38 pounds and the doctor says its about right to gain in a normal pregnancy!...hummm!..
my baby is about 8 pounds and i still need to go 4 more weeks, long legs he has  (my husband is 6 ft tall and I am 5'2)

since the baby is big my doctor will schedule a c-section  for me, i am going to see him every week now and i have a test this coming week betw 36 and 37 weeks...how about you?

4 more weeks!  i can not wait!

dwsilk - I think this might be the year of NO bottles!! I had THREE baby showers (one for work, one for family and one for the Church) and got only 3 bottles total. And I think the only reason I got the 3 bottles is because it was my last shower, and it was the ONLY thing left on my registry! I guess bottles are just not fun to buy or people think that others will but them. I've had to start stocking up on them slowly myself. But thankfully I got everything else I needed. In fact, I think I have too many size 1 diapers! I have like 16 packs of them!!

Our ultrasound on Friday showed that little Miss Ava weighs about 7 pounds and 1 ounce....umm, I've only gained 8 pounds the entire pregnancy! How can she weigh 7 of them???!!! They think she is gonna be 9 or 10 pounds when she's born because I still have 4 more weeks left!

I don't really have much back pain. But I will complain today that my butt hurts terrible - the part where your booty meets your legs/thighs. And my left calf hurts because I woke up to a charlie horse yesterday morning. Ava is stretching herself out right now, so tummy isn't too comfortable, but I'm still not done being preggo. She still needs to grow for at least 2 more weeks...then I might be done! LOL! :)

I am due May 26th and the back pain has started.  We can't wait to meet our daughter.  I didn't feel feet in my lungs until someone mentioned it, now I feel feet in my ribs.  

Did anyone have their baby showers and didn't get things that are absolutely needed?  I didn't get a single baby bottle!  I did get my breast pump, but no bottles!  How odd is that?  I have a lot of items to go and buy before she gets here.  I have all the big fun items that are not needed.  Diapers are.  LOL.

Due May 12th, after all the issues with my health bump's last u/s was good if anything she's is on the bigger side :D Been sooooo exhausted and blood test result came back that I am anemic so now on iron tablets which hopefully will do the trick.  She's been really kicking and punching hard the last few days - making her presence known.  Back to the consultant today and tomorrow so fingers crossed all stays well ;D

I'm due May 11th. And while I am so anxious to meet little Miss Ava, I am not done being pregnant yet! I still love it! She is moving so much today and I LOVE days like this. :) Our next ultrasound is on Friday and I can't wait to see her again. hopefully she has not grown too much, but just enough. :)

My due date is May the 20th she is our first one so no patterns to go by; we will see. Off course I would like to have her sooner than latter but I do want her to complete her development; week 37th   is around April 29th so more like will be a May baby girl anyway.
Happy and healthy babies wishes to everyone!!

I am due May 15th, so unless something major happens, it should be May regardless. I am predicting May 15th as the delivery date too! :) I called it with my daughter and got it right on - at 12:15 AM mind you! haha!

Best of luck ladies!

I'm not due until may 28th and not expecting any may miracles! I think I'll end up having a June baby. My first was almost 2 wks late. I really wanted a may baby and in fact, I'd be very happy if bub came a little early as I feel huge!

i am due may 2, and was put on bed rest because i was dilated to 3cm and 100% effaced, i had a u/s yesterday and baby is already weighing appox 6lbs.. that's insane as my other 2 kids were in the 7lbs so i know its a approx and they can be off. she has a ton of hair apparently too.. i don't want a April baby maybe may 1-3 is good since i have a wedding the 7th haha. i just rather have a may baby then april but i know its out of my hands, guess we will see what doctor wants to do next week. :)

I am due May 4th.  Although this one is baby number 6 the odds are against me, I will most likely have her in April.  I have had 3 babies at 37 weeks, 1 at 38 weeks, and 1 at 39 weeks, so I highly doubt that I will make it to May.  Over two weeks ago when I had the ultrasound she was already measuring 6lbs.  So it's just a matter of time.  

Although ladies, I have to say I have enjoyed reading all your stories and comparing everything all this time.  I know that you all have helped me through everything all these months and it has been great!  Thank You all!

No April baby for me  (hopefully)...as much as I would like to have him TODAY I still have to wait probably another 6 weeks...not due until the 24th but as my first child came 2 weeks early I am hoping he follows suit.

Mine is not due until May 11th and my dr won't let me go past my due date. I do hope she arrives just a few days early to make an entrance before mother's day! :) But, I'm just being selfish....
