Anybody wanna take a guess when I will "foal"?

[Ashley]

Seems everybody around me is taking bets as to when I will give birth. My actual due date is 11/9. Everybody likes to keep telling me what to do to make her come out now,but I think they are nuts. I just look at them and say "I live on a farm, do you realize the things I do that most women dont do? LIke throw hay bales, clean stalls, split and stack wood".......if that hasnt worked yet I dont think any of their normal women things will work.

If there is any further information you need to make your guess ask away..... Sorry a little bored and couped up in the house all day with a sick toddler.

The day after your due date

 

[REO]

Oct 30 ?

 

[Ashley]

Reo I could handle that. I am more then ready. I am shooting for either before the 4th or after the 10th.

 

[REO]

Good luck Ashley!

 

[lucky lodge]

is this your first baby

i was a week over due with both my daughters

do you no what your having or is it a suprise

 

[Ashley]

Yes this is my first. I am having a girl. As of last weeks doc appointment(last mon) I was 30% effaced which happened in 4 days time. I dont go back until this friday so not sure the progress.

 

[Marty]

Two more weeks to go!

 

[ErikaS.]

Okay, I'll say Nov. 11th... just cuz. Remember: epidurals are nice; I'd have one everyday. Well, maybe not everyday.

 

[kaykay]

Wow time flies! Im going to say 11-12-11 cus its a neat date LOL.

Im with you Ashley none of those crazy things work. Babies come when they are ready just like foals.

Sending you prayers for an easy labor and healthy baby girl!

 

[LindaL]

11-11-11 (you should request a induction for that date if you haven't "foaled" by then!)

OK, so IF you go on your own I'm gonna say...11/01

 

[Taylor Richelle]

I'm going to say 11/2

It's my birthday too so that could be cool

 

[little lady]

When ever is the least convenient! LOL. Best of luck and sending thoughts and prayers for an easy delivery and a healthy lil girl!

 

[Reble]

No one really knows only when she is ready to present herself..

I remember many years ago.. went to the doctor, said everything looked good, baby is in the right position and should be in about 2 weeks.

Wrong had my girl that night and she was breech..

Well I am going to say October 31st. Trick or Treat..

Good Luck

and safe delivery.

I didn't read anyone elses guess yet I wanted to just go with my gut and I am going to guess Halloween

 

[Ashley]

My gut tells me Halloween as well, and it has for a month or so now. By the time I was 6 week preggo I had a gut feeling it was a girl and that was right as well so we shall see.

Linda-

My clinic does not induce unless it is for a major medical reason. And even then they try to push first time moms until 41 weeks before they will even consider it. Size doesnt matter anymore either. I would rather not induce anyway as I feel if she isnt ready she needs to stay there, however if it does come to that I am ok with it cause at least I am positive of when I conceived.

She has been head down for about a month now so not to worried there. And yep I know she will come when she is good and ready, but thought this would be fun to do.

 

[heartkranch]

11/9.. Since that's my birthday

 

[markadoodle]

I've gotta go with Halloween; not sure why - just going with my gut!

ETA; Wow! Didn't see how many other people said that - I didn't even read the other guesses! Spooky.

I'm guessing within 6 days post due date as doctors are rarely right. Every "mare's" cycle is different and they go by a perfect 28-day cycle

(Who is normal?) Unless you were early with your first naturally or they push you to induce (which they almost always do). What I wouldn't have given not to have been induced both times lol.

Why don't we induce mares? Because they are rarely ready when we are. Why do they induce women? Sometimes for a good reason. Sometimes it's just out of convenience.
