if your doctor says your due date is on nov. 8 is there a good chance youll give birth on holloween?

Answer 1

it's possible. only 5% of babies are born on their due date. the rest usually fall within two weeks before or after.

Answer 2

It's possible, but I wouldn't go a far as saying good chance. Your due date in the the middle of a 1 month window. You can go into labor 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after the date the doctor gave you. That date is just a guess depending on your conception date (which the doctor could be guessing at as well)

Answer 3

COULD be, a due date isn't an exact science, our bodies have their OWN time tables, like me, my body thinks that 37 weeks (not 40) is long enough to make a baby, TWICE my babies have been born three weeks early (the second time though I KNEW it was coming) and the doctors said on BOTH accounts there was NO medical reason for me to have gone into labor early... both kids were FINE (scored VERY well on their APGAR tests) and are completely healthy to this day... some tips to encourage birth on a specific day, have sex (unless advised against it by your OB), sperm acts as a catalyst to open your cervix and your orgasm produces the same hormones released when going into labor, also the contracting of your uterus during orgasm can start the contractions associated with labor (ask your doc if you don't believe me, this is all true) also nipple stimulation (sounds cooky but it's scientifically proved) because when your baby nurses it stimulates the hormone that the body produces to start labor (same hormone released during orgasm) which is why doctors suggest nursing to help your uterus get back into its prepregnancy shape faster (those same contractions used in labor also contract the uterus back into shape), so fooling your nipples into thinking baby is stimulating them is a good way to start labor! Also some swear by walking (but I walked and walked until I could DROP when I wanted to give birth... nothing happened until a few days later when I STOPPED walking), I don't! But if you are looking to HAVE a Halloween baby, then honey start the day by getting freaky, and I don't mean the spooky kind!!! :D

Answer 4

Funny you asked that question....My son Was born on Halloween! My due date was Nov 21st and I had my son on Halloween! Why do you ask? do you want your child born on Halloween? Me, myself I don't like his birthdate only cause it isn't his own and it's taken away from his special day since every other child around is doing something like trick or treating on his special day!! I have gotten over it ....now he will be 3 this halloween but to answer your question....Ofcourse it is possible silly!!
