AW, and guidance needed

[manderslvt]

Good morning ladies!

First the AW part...I had an ultrasound with the RE this morning. Everything looked great, and we got to see the heartbeat! I couldn't be more excited! As soon as I saw it on the screen, I started crying, and the doctor teased me about not being able to do an ultrasound on a sobbing target!

Now for the guidance...the RE puts me at 6w4d, with an EDD of 11/30. Do you guys think I should move over to N15? I would like to stay here, honestly, because I've already kind of settled in here, and if things go the way they did with DS (delivered at 41w1d), I'll end up being a December momma anyway. What do you all think?

tl;dr...yay heartbeat! New EDD in November. Can I stay anyway?

Of course you can stay! I'm sure there will be plenty of moms who won't technically have their baby in December, but will always consider themselves a December mom.

I'm glad your ultrasound went well!!

Congrats on the great appointment!!

I say stay here. If I was in your shoes with a due date late in the month I would probably go to the next BMB also. It's really only a one day difference.

[RoLoMa]

Stay here! You are probably actually closer to all of us with symptoms and such than a good portion of those on N15. Plus, personally speaking, I want you to stay here!

ETA: Congrats on the h/b!  I got so worked up about making sure you stayed I totally forgot the best part!!

[anonymouseliza]

Here, here, here. Don't go!

[anonymouseliza]

And HUGE congratulations on the h/b. I know that felt amazing.

Congrats! I'd say stay here if you like. Babies will be born all over the place!

I am expecting a shift of my due date up several days at my first ultrasound too.

[hungryhippo]

What a great update! Definitely stay here.

[physiomeg]

I say stay...I may have my due date changed when I have my first appointment, and it's possible it could end up being late in Nov as well. My plan is to stay. Plus, I agree with the other posters, you're comfy here and are likely more on par with our symptoms. Congrats on hearing the heartbeat!!

[BeachBum678]

Yay for the great visit! And I would stay if it were me, it's only a day's difference and you're just as likely to go into December anyway.

[mrssqueegy]

Congrats!

And yes stay! I was a late EDD on DS's BMB and it sucked. It's better to be early. Lots of us will end up with November babies anyway.

The heartbeat! Yay! & definitely stay

I agree with that. End of the month edd's suck. My last Edd was the 28th.

[manderslvt]

Thanks everyone! It's settled then...you're stuck with me!

I was due early May (05/07), but my peri gave me a less than 2% chance of making it to May (she was born May 1, induction started about 5 pm 4/30). I tried to hang on April too, but being 5-6 weeks behind the early April folks, I didn't line up at all, and just stayed put on May. So much easier.

Yay for seeing the HB! and you should stay!!!

[suzyq0525]

I'm on the line between November and December and I plan on staying if I get moved to a November due date. You should stay!

[kfran84]

I'm still active on my Nov '13 board and we have lots of mommas who had 10/28 - 10/31 babies who stayed with us.

I guess I'd rather be going through things first than last.

I think the board kind of died temporarily when everyone had their babies, so I'm sure it got a little boring for those who were still waiting since 1/2-2/3rds of us were just gone.

I say stay here and yay for heartbeat! ::bangs gavel::

[mamomma5]

Stay! I agree with previous posters-with my son he was born on the 31st and I was always at the end of everything on that board!

[tina515]

Glad you decided to stay! I was going to agree with everyone and push you to do it anyway Why leave when you already found a home, and the date is only different by 1 day?

Congrats on the heartbeat and great US!

[Unknown]

Yay for having such a great u/s!

[cnf2013]

Yay for heartbeat!!

Definitely stay. We like you too much =)

[booklover811]

Awesome that you got to hear the heartbeat! I'm sure I'll cry too.

So glad that you are staying! We like you here
