but I expected you to say it Monday!!!

Here's what I know, from my fertility experience. The sono tech told me that setting the due date by sono can ONLY be done during the first 10 weeks. That's because during those weeks ALL babies are the same size. Any baby that isn't right on cue has something wrong with it.

After the placenta kicks in and starts making hormones, babies grow at far different rates, depending on genetics, the quality of the placenta, and nutrients from the mother.

So, unless my sono tech was completely wrong (she was the tech for the RE)...I would think your original date is right and that you really are overdue. If you ovulated as late as they think you did, wouldn't you have known you were pregnant almost right away??? That seems odd.

I'm sorry they're saying this...but when you said the biophysical profile said all was great, I knew it was coming! If you were two weeks overdue the placenta should be begging to break down. The baby should be showing distress.

Who's to say what the real situation is??? You know, with Liam I was at 36 weeks and the tech, a gal who had been doing the job forever and who had wonderful brand new equipment...told me and my doc that at that point Liam was already over 8 pounds. My doc induced me two weeks later, based on that. Guess what? Liam weighed 6 lbs 2oz at birth. Meaning that two weeks earlier he was just 5 lbs something...and she said he weighed 8 lbs? That's a HUGE miscalculation.

I'm just sorry that here you are, a month after you were ready to deliver, with a big old baby on the way! Are you thinking c-section??? What would happen if you went that way? Would your insurance cover it?

I was hoping this would be the pregnancy of your dreams. I'm so sorry that it isn't turning out to be that way! At least now will Robert leave you alone about the walking and such???
