I think it's interesting that I'm the only one predicting I'll go past 41 weeks. Most people are saying early.
I predicted right at 41 weeks. Both the midwife group I work with and the doulas at the prenatal yoga studio I practice say that if you are FTM they generally add about 7-10 days to your due date. A little less than that for STM+. Statistically most first babies actually are born late! Another reason I like to think of it as a "guess date" and not a due date!
Birth date (and EDD): Nov. 17 (EDD Nov. 23, so I will be 39+1) That gives the parents just enough time to arrive and get a few night's sleep. Last babies were 37+5 (twins) and 39+4.
Weight: 7lbs 6oz
Length: 19"
Hair Color/Amount: Light brown peach fuzz
Sex (if you are team green): My educated guess is girl, though I am carrying awfully low compared to my own 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.
Actual- Birth Date: 10/31 Weight: 7lbs 2oz Length: 20.5 inches (he might be smaller now that his come head went down) Hair: It's light brown but there isn't a ton of it.
Birth date: 11/11 (EDD 11/9...I truly think she's just going to tease me for the next month)
Weight: 7lb 9oz
Length: 20.5 in
Hair color/amount: UO for those around me but I'm really hoping she has all of H's coloring: thick black hair and dark dark brown eyes
Sex: we know it's a girl!
Actual-
Birth date: 11/2 (EDD: 11/9)
Weight: 8 pounds
Length: 20 inches
Hair color/amount: lots of dark hair, but a smidge lighter than black. She doesn't just have DH's coloring...she IS H. We got out his hospital newborn picture and it's uncanny.
Birth date (and EDD): Oct 31 (edd nov 7) - I would really just like a weekday cause it would be easier to get care for O.
Weight: 8lb2oz
Length: 19in
Hair Color/Amount: brown, medium amount
Sex (if you are team green): Boy
Actual: Birthday- Nov 4th Weight- 8lb0oz Length- 21in Hair- light brown, medium amt Sex- Girl! I was so wrong about the sex! I have guessed correctly for all 6 of my nieces and nephews, my best friend's two, and my first. I was so sure we had a boy but my streak is ruined now. Hahah
Birth Date: Nov 5 Weight: Alec 6lb 5oz , Adeline 5lb 12oz Length: Alec 20.5 in, Adeline 19 in Hair Color/Amount: Black, she has a good amount, he's a little balder Sex: Boy /Girl
Hair color/amount: a good amount of dark brown / black hair
Sex: we know it's a boy!
Birth date: 11/13 (I should have known this would be a supermoon baby)
Weight: 8lbs 15oz. Only 2 pounds off! In my defense, I'm small and DS1 was 6lbs 14oz and was born only 2 days before his EDD. I can only imagine if this one had made it to his EDD...
Length: 21". Not too far off.
Hair color/amount: tons of black hair. It may turn brown later, though. DS1's did.
grapefruits All the nurses I saw while I was in the hospital attributed the 'baby boom' to the full moon. There were 29 post-partum patients while I was there; typically they have 10-15 max at any given time (and this is a big, popular suburban hospital).
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.
Well, except for the biggest one (the sex) I came close to completely nailing this!
Birth date: 11/18 (ding ding!!) Weight: 8 lb. 9.2 oz. Length: 20.25 inches Hair color/amount: dark brown/black, about the same as DS Sex: girl
Birth date (and EDD): Nov. 17 (EDD Nov. 23, so I will be 39+1) That gives the parents just enough time to arrive and get a few night's sleep. Last babies were 37+5 (twins) and 39+4.
Weight: 7lbs 6oz
Length: 19"
Hair Color/Amount: Light brown peach fuzz
Sex (if you are team green): My educated guess is girl, though I am carrying awfully low compared to my own girl.
Birth date: Nov. 16, so 1 day off.
Weight: 6lbs 13oz, a bit smaller but the biggest baby I have birthed, so I should have known she'd be small
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.
Well, except for the biggest one (the sex) I came close to completely nailing this!
Birth date: 11/18 (ding ding!!) Weight: 8 lb. 9.2 oz. Length: 20.25 inches Hair color/amount: dark brown/black, about the same as DS Sex: girl
Alright, now that I actually took a look at her without her hat on, little miss definitely has more hair than DS did! So another ding ding! for me
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
Sex (if you are team green): we're having a boy
Birth date (and EDD): 11/4 (I was induced, just a few days earlier than I originally anticipated)
Weight: 7 lbs 13 oz (way off, but still only my second smallest newborn)
Length: 21 inches
Hair Color/Amount: I was right about this, just a small amount of brown hair
