lol. my mom told me I should take bets on when people think the baby is gonna come and who ever is closest has to stay up with him the first week lol..

my mom guesses the 22nd
My brother the 25th
My friend mike the 14th or 28th
Brothers gf said 2 weeks ago lol

lol.. I say they are all wrong.. I'm gonna guess by the 15th.

I wish i could do that though. Who ever is closest stays up the first week. I could never do that... I just thought it was kinda funny....

unless there was a real reason i'd refuse an induction that close to my due date. doctors are so induction happy these days. the baby will come out when they're ready.

yeah, i do hope he comes before then. I've heard being induced makes labor a lot worse..... i almost wish he'd come now since I start back to school tomorrow and am not looking forward to it at all...

i would tell him you dont wanna be induced unless you go over like a week. (if you want. its your choice though)sometimes a EDD can be off a bit and you wouldnt want him to come too early.

just my opinion lol

I don't want to be induced at all! lol but if it comes down to it i'd like to be at least a week over. Give my older brother a nice b-day present lol

just remember, you're in charge and the doctor is working for you. you can refuse the induction if you want to.

i think i'm so anti-induction because mine failed and after 14 hours of agonizing back labor i ended up with a c-section. mine was an emergency induction though, it wasn't voluntary.

yeah, I want to have this kid but if comes to being induced i really don't want that.. I will most likely refuse it. My mom said it's a good thing and she agrees with the doctor but screw her lol.

yeah sometmes induction makes it even harder lol
and if you end up haveing to have a c section because of it then in the future its unlikely you will ever be able to give vaginal birth to your next child Sad
