Sorry it's a bit of a silly one??

Question

I know how silly this is going to sound. I'm normally quite sensible and not at all supersticious however, lately everylady I come across that has had children before keeps telling me that they think I am going to have my baby in the next 4 weeks (I'm 33weeks) because they think I'm carrying really low. Now I've been ignoring it and ignoring it but it's getting ridiculous. These same people all suggested that they thought I was having a girl early on in the pregnancy and they were right. I tend to ignore old wives tales and stuff and really I've been carrying low the whole time. However this morning I happened to flick through the newspaper and read my star signs (I'm born on the cusp of two signs so I read them both) and I never read my star signs. Anyway would you believe that both the star signs said stuff about family stuff happening in the next four weeks. I can't remember the wording but it was kinda freaky. Like I said I'm not really into this stuff and I know it's all just silly, but does anyone actually believe in this stuff? I don't want my baby to come early, as much as I'm looking forward to her being here... What are your thoughts? Feel free to have a laugh too I know this is ridiculous but I am a first time mum and i do freak out about silly stuff now and again...

Answer 1

1. 37weeks is considered full term, so your baby wouldn't be premature

2.  i believe that is was a coincidence that they said it was a girl and it was.  they have  a 50/50 chance  at getting it right. the baby is either a boy or girl.  

Answer 2

I have been told the same types of things...I am 34 weeks and the past week or so I have been hearing a lot (like numerous times a day) that there's no way I'm making it another 6 weeks and I'm so carrying so much lower this week than last.  The one lady at my son's daycare has 3 kids and insists I am going early. I haven't tried the horoscopes thing, but I think I am going to now...just for fun. My son insisted I was having a girl the night we told him we're having a baby, and he was right.  A lot of other women I am friends with said it would be a girl too so I don't know what it is...maybe they were just guessing lucky lol. Good luck and congrats!

Answer 3

Hun I think being 'silly' or paranoid about various things are just symptoms of pregnancy that no one tells you about! lol I will admit that it is interesting about your stars and what those people have told you but I wouldnt worry too much about going early you are really at ths stage now that if you do deliver early your baby should be fine.

Good luck!

Answer 5

If you are 33 weeks right now...delivering in 4 weeks would not be considered too early...my Dr. said they consider them full term when they are 36 weeks along so it wouldn't be too bad. I know how you feel...my best friend and I were pregnant together and her dad kept telling me I was going to deliver on Thanksgiving Day and I wasn't due until Dec 6th...what do you know...I gave birth to a 6lb9oz baby boy Thanksgiving morning...15 min before lunch...kinda neat. You might deliver in the next 4 weeks but keep in mind if you do that it was time...good luck!!!
