How does Lisa predict her baby’s due date and why does she hope for a daytime labor?
I'm laid back about so many things and I've witnessed this with so many mothers as they move through motherhood, as their children get older, as they have more perspective, there's certain things they just don't worry about anymore. It's a lot easier to have littler children with that perspective. Different people have different opinions on which transition is easiest. There's a lot of people that'll say, oh no, going from zero to one was no problem for me. That was not my perspective, but that could have just came from me being very naive about how much work children took. That was a hard shift for me. But then one to two, I was like, got this. Okay. My name is Lisa, mother of eight and creator of the blog and YouTube channel Farmhouse on Boone.
On this podcast, I like to talk about simplifying your life so you can live out your priorities. I help you learn how to cook from scratch and decorate on a budget through this podcast and my courses, Simple Sourdough and the Simple Sewing Series. I also help people reach their goals from home through my business course, YouTube Success Academy. I will leave links to these resources in the show notes and description box below. Now let's get into the show. Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. Today, I am doing one last solo episode before the baby is born. I was just looking at my schedule and seeing when this will come out, and I believe the baby will have been born at this point, or at least...
right around this time. I am currently 39 weeks pregnant with our ninth baby, and I have this belief that I know when my children will come, not on the exact day, but because my experiences have been very consistent, so I haven't had too many that were major outliers, I I feel like I know within like a four or five day range when the baby will come. Now at any time, this could completely go out the window and I could have somebody throw me for a loop because that happens with people. There are people who have all their babies at a certain week and then all of a sudden there's one that's an outlier. So I understand that, but I can already say that we're not having a super early baby no matter what, because I'm already 39 weeks.
So If this little one were to even come in the next week, still I wouldn't consider her to be too far as an outlier because usually my babies come within two days plus or minus the due date. And there's times when that hasn't been the case, but one of my children I was induced with for uh suppose or not supposed what am i suspected that's what i'm trying to say slash supposed because now after having a whole lot more perspective i don't really think i had any problems but because they thought she had iugr i was induced early so i can't count her into the data set because i didn't go into labor naturally now the other children i went into labor naturally Except for two of them, I have a theory about red raspberry leaf tea and starting it very early in your pregnancy and drinking it by the gallon.
That baby's actually come a bit later. And my sister has a bunch of children, same exact experience. So I have the belief that they come a little bit later if you drink red raspberry leaf tea from the very beginning. I'm not talking about in the second trimester because people will say, oh, I started at 20 weeks and my baby came right... No, you have to start in the first trimester. There's actually been studies done on it. And I did that with those two children. So I did have two that came a little bit later, but all the rest came around two days plus or minus the due date. Now, how pinpointed down do you have the due date? really just depends on how close of attention you were paying at that time. And so, you know, I just, I have the bias that the baby comes around 40 weeks.
And so I do believe that by the time this comes out, the baby will have been born and there's a chance that I have shared a birth story over on the YouTube channel. I am really praying for and hoping for a daytime labor, My last two were daytime labors.
