A baby's due date and the day of the birth

My son is a year old now and he was a week overdue. He's extremely healthy and perfect in every way. :)

I labor my son 2days after due date.. and he was very healthy.. i have take vitamins for a month only and had a milk for 1 box only.. and thanks god my baby is healthy though im so reckless having him in my tummy... i have read a blog about this girl who bore a baby at his 3months pregnancy.. and the baby was so skinny.. the baby undergo so many operations.. and the baby surpass it.. but when he reached at his 11months his body can't surpass all the pains.. too bad for that baby..

My older son wasn't a preamature baby though he was born almost 3 weeks before my due date. He didn't need an incubator or anything and it was a normal delivery and everything was quick and smooth. My younger son went to full term and I had to undergo an emergency C-section on my due date. I wasn't induced and if it wasn't for the emergency, my doctor wanted me wait for a few days for my labour pains and I would have had a normal delivery. I don't have friends or relatives who had premature babies.....but when I was teaching kindergarten, I had a few students who were premies. They were like normal children and I didn't see any problems with them.

All 3 of my kids were born a few days after their due dates. So they were all 40 weeks and a few days. My brother in law and his wife had a child that was premature. He was due May 12th and was born March 8th. So he was in the hospital for awhile in an incubator. It was touch and go for a little bit but he is okay now. He had heart problems and had to be on a portable monitor thing for a few months after he got out. He is a happy and healthy 7 year old now. He definitely makes up for it lol.

Both of my kids were born a few days before their due date, so they were considered full term. My oldest weighed in at 6 pounds 8 ounces and was 19 inches long. My youngest weighed more at 8 pounds 4 ounces. He was 21 inches long. I've only known a couple of premature babies, one being my niece. I think she weighed around 5 lbs at birth. She is 9 years old now and is doing well. Happy mylotting!

My son was born on June 22, 2010 and he arrived a week late. My health was good so my midwife let my labor come as natural as possible. It ended up I almost went two weeks over, but she sent me to the hospital the day before he was born to get my labor going because I was becoming so uncomforable and he was a larger baby than she expected him to be. He's strong and healthy and I feel so lucky.

My child was born about one week earlier than the due date. His weight was about 3.5KG when he was born. I love China

All my 5 children were born prematurely my earliest was born at 30 weeks and he only weighed 2LB 4oz but doctor said that he was only the size of a 27 weeker he was in hospital for 10 weeks so until his due date,he is now 17 he does has cerebral palsy doen the right side of his body and recently developed epilepsy but i am so glad he lived the doctors were fab i also has 2boys that were 5 weeks early weighing 5LB 10.5oz and 5LB 15.5oz they were both aloud home within a couple of days then a girl who was 4 weeks early weighed 4LB 12oz and she has always stayed very little in height then i had a girl 10 days early weighed 5LB 12oz and she was straight home no problems at all,Also my sister had a girl who is now 20 years old she was born at 26 weeks and weighed 2LB 4oz and she has no problems at all so the medical experts have been saving many lifes of premature babies for over 20 years that i can prove,but today the odds are much higher for premature babies to survive and even higher to survive and suffer no complications

My oldest was 15 days late, and the twins were 15 days early. No problems other than a little jaundice...

Hi maximax, Though I do not give birth to a baby,, I know a little about this pregnancy and childbirth and things related to it. My younger sister's baby was born premature and had to be kept in the incubator. Many thought the baby might not survive. But after a couple of weeks the baby was brought home and she is 7 years old now without any problem. What the doctors make the likely dates might differ from the real date. This is natural I guess.

My daughter was born one month early and spent her first 11 days in the premature baby nursery at the hospital. There were a lot of tiny babies in there, some who were born at our 24 weeks and that had been there for months. A friend of ours had a baby girl at around the mid 20's week period and she is very healthy now at six years old. She is still small for her age, (her brother is 2 years younger than her, but bigger) but she is mentally very smart.

Luckily i have my babies born days on or before due date. My daughter was born a day after her due. My second child was born a day ahead before his due. And my 3rd son was born on day that i select for him to be born. Okay,all my kids are born thru C/S op. With my 2 kids,i tried to have them born naturally,so i goes on with labor pains but still no avail. So,with my youngest son,i choose the date when he or i should have C/S op done,because my ob-gyne advise me not to go through try labor or it will cause my life. My kids are now young teens and are healthy and active kids of their age. I've known few kids who are born pre-maturely but grown up as healthy kids. My sister's first born was not lucky to live when she delivered her son 2 weeks before the due date. The baby only lives for few hours

Hi, My son was born 2 days after the Expected Date of Delivery(EDD). When my EDD was over, I was so nervous and my gynae has informed to have a full check-up to see whether my pregnancy is fine or not. My gynae advised me to have more exercise,do more walking to have easy labour when the big days comes. Then on that night after doing my walking exercise, I could not sleep well that whole night, my back was so pain and it was killing me so badly. No matter how I lied on my bed, it was pain and it came once a while. I still not realized that it was a sign on contraction and I waited till next morning,then my husband sent me to the hospital and I was confirmed diluted for 5cm at that point of time. So I was waited and waited for few hours in the labouring ward and I saw the nurses was preparing all the necessary things use in the labouring. I was so scary and getting nervous.Same time,the contraction started again and again. After been waiting for more than 3 hours, I was only diluted to 7cm...not the time yet,but I was suffering so much and lastly I make final decision to go for c-section and within half an hour time, my son was born. He was a healthy baby. I do read some news about premature baby,they really need special care as they are born before the EDD time. The baby may be under weight(small in size) ,but they are still a healthy baby with that special care given by the hospital. The most important is to control the jaundice issue.

My 1st son was born 3 days after the due date, and my 2nd son was born at 39 weeks, they both are healthy. When I my son still in the hospital nursery, I saw many babies were born premature, some are as tiny as my palm and were taken care in the incubator with a lot of tubing connected to their mouth and body. I am so pity them because they have to suffer right after they were born. I sister's daughter was born premature at week 32 of her pregnancy, she is now 10 year old and is as healthy as other children.

My first baby girl was born 10 days earlier than her due date . She was so healthy though . Yes I ave a neighbor here , all her babies were premature , now they are adults but are really very malnourished and they easily catch sickness. Thank God we have healthy babies
