My youngest DD was born on 9-10-99. Missed it by a day.
I went to the Dr. on the 8th and begged her to let me deliver the next day. I had been on bedrest and on anti-labor medication for a few weeks and I was OVER it! They looked at me horrified and said she would only be 4-5 pounds at this point. I mentioned, not too nicely, that my first DD was born at 1 1/2 pounds and was just fine. 5 pounds seemed HUGE to me.
Well they refused and my water broke on its own on the 10th and my DD was.......... 8 lbs and 13 ozs!!! I felt like I missed so much of her babyhood (OK, I got her sister 4 months before her due date so 1 month early on 2nd child seemed fully grown to me). Both girls perfect and no preemie problems!
