I'm updating my baby ticker, because I found out today that my due date is actually April 18th!

    Ah, my birthday's April 22! Matching birthdays would be swell, although I'm sure you won't want to be overdue!

    April is the greatest time to have a baby!!! No being pregnant in the worst of summer heat! Warm enough that baby can go out easily when s/he is born...oh, and cold and flu season is OVER then!
    My oldest 2 are April babies (7th and 9th!) Oh, and birthdays are easy if you get a tax refund.

    That's exciting to look forward to! Don't get too excited about a due date, though. Remember: at best, it's a 5 wk range (37 wks thru 42 wks) and at worst, an inaccurate GUESS that lands women with preventable inductions.

    Here's an article by the author of The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth debunking due date myths:

    The later your due date, the less likely you'll be pressured for an unnecessary induction. If your LMP (last menstrual period) EDD is later than the EDD given by ultrasound, push them to bump it to the later date to stack the deck in your favor.

    Better yet, seek a midwife or an OB who follows the midwifery model of care .

    I love this chart (scroll down) that explains the difference:

      I went back to see your older blog & saw that the new EDD actually buys you more than a week, compared to the original estimate. That's good.

    Bethany! I am so excited for you!

    Can you and everyone else here who reads your blog please pray for my cousin and her husband? They are wanting to adopt a child, because my cousin Angel can not have children herself. They just got a phone call from their social worker that someone likes them. The mother placing her child up for adoption is due September 20th. I have no idea when they will know, but they could have a baby by next month at this time! Please pray that whatever is suppose to happen, will happen!

    April's a good month for babies. If you're willing to go overdue 11 days, your baby could be birthday buddies with my middle son. lol.
