Hair Color/Amount: dark brown/black, a decent amount (more than DS, who had a light covering all over his head, because I've had way more heartburn this time!)
Sex (if you are team green): ahhhh I don't know!! I'm going to say boy.
dashook If the old wives tale is true then I'm changing my prediction to a full head of hair, the heartburn is unreal this pregnancy, I had zero with my bald B.
I had heartburn maybe 5 times total on DS and he was born with a full head of long hair, so who knows.
This was me, too, with DS. I haven't had it this time at all yet. Babies in my family are always born with dark hair so it's a safe bet for me to make either way!
Birth date (and EDD): Nov 18th (EDD: Nov 25th) (women in my family seem to come early)
Weight: 8 lbs 6oz
Length: 22 inches (I was a huge baby)
Hair Color/Amount: blonde/strawberry with curls / not a lot if we go by heartburn
Sex (if you are team green): I honestly have no feelings and that makes me feel like a bad person. My sister is swearing a girl (she believes in the Chinese predictor), My cousin (more aunt/sister) says boy. I guess if I'd have to choose... maybe girl!

Birth date (and EDD): I'm going to guess 11/11 just because it's H's birthday. EDD is 11/9.
Weight: 7 lbs 4oz
Length: 22" (H is tall so I'm guessing this baby is going to be tall)
Hair Color/Amount: Lots of light brown that will turn blonde eventually then back to brown when he gets older. This happened to H and his siblings and also my brother.
Sex (if you are team green): We already know it's a boy.
I notice that most people predicted their baby will have hair. Is that the norm? I thought most babies were born bald.
I'm actually not sure what the norm is. I just know that my first baby was born with a full head of fine, black hair. A good deal of it fell out within a week of his birth and then he had male pattern baldness for like 3 months after that, which was pretty hysterical.

L had about 1/2" of dark brown hair that never fell out. It just grew out lighter and lighter until she was blonde. I'm assuming this baby will be similar.
I think it's interesting that I'm the only one predicting I'll go past 41 weeks. Most people are saying early.
Wishful thinking
That's what I was thinking. I was sure L would come early, I was so big. Not even close. I'm hopeful this one will appear earlier, but I'm trying to stay realistic so I'm not crying on my due date and still pregnant like last time. Lol.
I'm only going by what my mom and sister experienced. Both gave birth early with their #1. But as long as baby doesn't come on Thanksgiving Day (I love my Turducken) I'm ok!
ETA: I'm hoping baby comes early so DH gets to spend more time with it! If baby comes a week late, DH only gets a week and a few days with baby. If baby comes early, DH will get to spend at least 2-3 weeks with baby before going to work for 5 weeks.

I would prob be induced at 41 so I know 11/26 is the last possible day.
My old ob induced anytime between 41 and 42. Nor sure what my new drs policy is yet. I assume we'll discuss it at my 37 week appointment. 42 for me is 11/19 and I assume that's my last day if I go that long.

Birth date (and EDD): 11/7 (EDD 11/19) - I'm actually most likely going to schedule an induction but I'll be pushing for later rather than earlier since none of my kids have come before their due dates
Weight: 8lb 9oz
Length: 20 inches
Hair Color/Amount: not a whole lot, but what's there will most likely be brown

I noticed the same trend, and if not for my probable induction, I'd probably be expecting to go right up to my due date since none of my kids have ever come early.

I will revolt if I go past 41 weeks, lol. Today at my 36-wk appt, my doctor said, "I promise you'll have a baby in 6 weeks." I wanted to slug him.
DS was in zero hurry so I wouldn't be surprised if this baby wants to hang out, too, but if I have to waddle down to the hospital and hook myself up to a pitocin drip to get things going, I will.

Lol. I unfortunately turn 41 on a Saturday and my understanding is that they only do inductions on weekdays unless you have a medical need for one. So I'm basically screwed since if I need to be induced again I'll have to wait until 41+2. I'd probably have glared at the dr if they said that to me.
On a side note, dh told me I'm not waddling this time. He said it's more like a Herman Munster/Frankenstein's monster kind of walk.
ClassyMrsA Or they could induce you on Friday. I turned 41 weeks on Thanksgiving so my OB scheduled me for an induction the day before. I ended up going into labor on my own that morning regardless.
Maybe. My Dr last time was very clear that she'd only do it on or after 41. It wasn't an issue since I changed weeks on a Wednesday. I have a different dr now so maybe she'd be open to doing it at 40+6 on the 11th. Assuming this baby is like her sister.
