Pregnancy Info HOME

That is kinda weird but i wouldnt read too much into it. I'm sorry to hear about the way it happened but maybe this is a way she is telling you something..like she's okay and she knows you're having a baby and shes happy for you. ive gathered a lot of info and most babies are not born on their due date anyway so dont freak out lol. you might be late. best of luck and stress out. everything happens for a reason.

I believe the statistic is that only 5% of babies are actually born on their due date. Is this your first? If so, then chances are pretty darn good he or she will be late. The "date" is only a 24 hour time period - the chances that the baby chooses exactly one of those 24 to arrive on are slim. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Sorry to hear about your grandmother, though!

This is my second pregnancy. Thanks! It would be even spookier now if i was to have her on that day because the chances are so low. Mabye i can tell my doctor about it , and see if i dont go by May 2 or something , she can induce me lol i don't know if that would work though.

I think BEAN is right. It's only about 5% of people actually give birth on their Estimated Due Date (EDD). AND, even if she did, this baby is going to be it's own. It's not like she'll be an incarnate of your grandma. Don't worry. *hugs*

I can imagine what you are feeling b/c of the coincidence. That is pretty ironic if you ask me. I believe Bean is right....only 5% of babies are born on their actual due date (even though I was one of those 5%).....its not a big chance. Try not to let it worry you.....I'm sure everything will turn out fine.

Another way to look at it is that it would be sort of wonderful if she was born that day--or even that she's due that day. Because you loved your grandmother so much, it might be a wonderful omen to have a new, fresh life born on her birthday. My grandfather committed suicide, so I know how spooky those "days" are--the day of his death, the day of his birth--but they're wonderful, too. They're a reminder of the incredible life that lived, and that is partly responsible for YOUR life, and for your baby's, too. If you can, try to think of it as a blessing. It's nothing to fear!

Iv never told anyone this but I agree with baby girl and I have no reason or explanation but I was due on the 3rd of July and My Mum who I loved dearly died on the 6th it was my 3rd and I had always gone over I did not want to have the baby on the day my mum died either yet some people would look at it like tillie did/does. Good luck Baby girl.

I would not worry about this. I do beleive in re-birth but that is not scary at all. Every new life has it's own destiny. I am not sure if this is helpful but I would be happy if I were you since you liked your grandmother. If you did not like her, then that would be a different story. Enjoy your pregnancy...Everything will be fine..

It sounds a bit weird to me too, and i'm not really superstitious. I doubt you'll go into labour on your exact due date I also agree with Tillie though. It may be a symbol of rebirth and a way to honor life, I guess you just need to be able to see it that way.
