Have you ever thought your baby would be born on a certain day & he/she came on that day? I ask this bec. when I was pregnant with my 1st, my mil called us when I was about 5-6m pregnant & told us that she dreamed our baby was born on dec 9th. She had this dream several times. We kind of joked it off. Well, he came on dec 9th. Seems kind of crazy. Any who, this time for months I have been thinking my baby will be born on Nov 10th or 11th. I guess you could say I "just have a feeling". I know a baby will come when the baby is ready but have you ever experienced this?

What can I do next?

I dreamed what they were, when I would have them, what they looked like, and even in one dream saw my FIL visiting me in the hospital in a dream. He had cancer and only had a few weeks to live - I had months 'til I delivered. He had a sudden remission and was my daughter's first visitor!
The only one dream I missed on - I dreamed my firstborn tore his way out of my stomach and was green. No more monster movies for me while pregnant!

not in pregnancy but in other things...I get "feelings" or thoughts about things. I usually write them down.

Good luck on the delivery!! Hope it's a smooth and easy one!!!

Not really but I had two of my children in October and two on May 18th. My fifth was due in May but born in April. I had a miscarriage that was due in May also. I'm always wrong though when it comes to when baby will come or even if it will be a boy or girl. Except once when we were first married and were trying for a baby for the first time, I was praying and praying for a baby. I fell asleep while praying and I stirred and woke up and heard in my heart "you're going to have a baby in October." I told everyone! But it turned out that I was already pregnant and due in May. I felt so stupid. But then I had a miscarriage and got pregnant 3 months later and had my baby in October.

I have never had intuition in regard to a birth but several times I have had "impressions" that something would happen which later did.

When I was preparing to move overseas, I did not want to go! But I tried really hard to be positive, thinking "well, okay, at least we will have to walk everywhere and I will be able to maintain my weight for 3 years!!" Shortly thereafter, I had a distinct impression that I would injure my leg. I had this "feeling" several times.

A month after I got there, I fell while trying to squeeze onto the subway (there were 18 million ppl in Shanghai at the time, most of whom seemed to be on the subway system). I fell in the gap between the subway car & platform and my left leg got wedged right above the knee. Ow! My husband grabbed me & got me out. My thigh was skinned & my lower leg was cut & bruised.

The next year we went to Hong Kong & I slipped on a very smooth step while touring & got the worst ankle sprain of my entire life. I was laid up for 2 weeks....

Just last Sunday, I had been signed up for 4 hours of volunteer duty at Caritas. All day Saturday I kept thinking, I'll have all day tomorr- uh, no, I have to volunteer. Kept thinking, I'll have tons of time, uh, no I am needed over there. When we got there, there were 50 ppl instead of the usual 40 & my daughter & I were "released" after an hour of stuffing envelopes for upcoming charity race.

Hmmm.... hopefully not TMI on the wrong topic. But, I do get impressions or these intuitive thoughts, which I attribute to God.

Let us know what happens (this week?)!!!!

no but my 7 years old daughter woke up one day and said aunties daughter should be named 'jane.' my sister is pregnant with multiples and at that time we didn't know what she is having. i told my sister what my daughter said. a few weeks later my sister found out that indeed just one of the multiples she is carrying is a girl. just one. all are shocked. so anyways she did decide to give her girl the name my daughter dreamt she should give.

Occasionally I have my intuition work out but not about my children's birthdays. I would never have planned to have a baby between Christmas and New Years--especially since that is when my birthday is. But no, my daughter's birthday is the day after mine.

I did dream I would have the family I have now--older son, younger daughter (they looked a little different in the dream than my actual kids). I dreamed about them when my husband and I were dating about 6 months and were trying to decide whether to stay together or break up (we were living in different states at the time). This was at least 5 years before we were married and about 8 years before we had our first child but that time was definitely a deciding moment in our relationship.

Yes, I knew that my children would be born on the day they were born. I had dreams about it as well and planned for it! :)
