Confused?!
Posted: 07-17-07 05:49am

Hey everyone, hope all ladies pregnant and not pregnant and babies and newborns are all fit and well. Laughing

I'm so confused, on my pregnancy notes it says...

"Expected date of delivery - 15th September"
"Agreed date of delivery - 18th September"

So which one is my due date!? Lol!

I either turn an extra week every saturday or every tuesday. That would make me either 31 weeks today, or 31 weeks the saturday just gone, approaching 32 weeks?! Those extra 3 days make all the difference to me cos I'm so fed up of being pregnant already, the hormones are making me feel crazy so I'd rather my due date be the 15th not the 18th but I don't know which one to go by??

Any idea's?

I would say that the 15th is your due date. Maybe the 18th is an induction date if you haven't gone into labor yet?????

expected date of delivery = due date
i have no idea what the other one is for... probably when they start saying your over due... i know they told me i'm due between aug. 28th and sept. 5th... i guess it's kinda like that

Ooo hey cool!

Knowing my luck I'll go overdue, I was talking to my nan on the phone the other day and she said "We hold onto the little wenches" lol. Laughing With all my nan's pregnancies, 8 of them she went overdue by a day or more. My mum didn't with me though, and a lot of people have had babies at 38 weeks in our family soo who knows. It would be cool if we had our babies on the same day!!

I'm so excited now, 8 weeks left and I just cannot wait! It's starting to drag and go slowly now tho. As a matter of fact, I love sleeping but I do really enjoy my warm bubbly baths, shaving my legs whilst I can still reach but its getting difficult. lol

i agree...except i dont take baths because i have 2 guys living with me an the bath tub gets rather gross..i cant clean it very easily either Twisted Evil it drives me nuts....anyways...hopefully you dont go over due because i know the anticipation is already getting to you because i know !! the past 2 weeks has gone by rather slow for me! i want to meet the little guy already...what did you get on your glucose test?? i have to go back for a 3 hour because mine was 135 highest is 140 in the normal range but he said he thinks anything over 130 is abnormal....grr....so im on a strict diet no sweets,juices,carbs, soda,milk (although i dont know why he is so convinced milk is so bad for you) anyways....what did you get?

not exactly... you'll be 8 months on august 15th. according to your due dates you just hit 7 months on sunday.

lauren, i've never heard that term. i guess it makes sense that that will be your date of induction if you go over? i don't know...

No idea, I just assume that I can give birth between the 15th or the 18th. Then still go over. Who knows!

I count it the same way KFIG does, 24 weeks - 6 months, 28 weeks - 7 months, 32 weeks - 8 months... I asked my midwife this and she said most women go by that because in all honesty, thats how it is. Laughing

Oh and KFIG I haven't had a glucose test, don't think I've heard of it either. My BP is always low, 90/60 last time I went, and I've eaten healthily throughout too, minus a few sweets and lollipops! Laughing Very
Happy
