D-Day

Why do they give us Due Dates?  Its very cruel, it should be due week!  I like to be on time for everything so when that date comes and goes and no baby has arrived it is maddening.  I currently have 3 due dates so I can officially say I have a due week.  Dr's use this date as a weapon.  If you give birth in a hospital and are past your date they may want to induce you which can lead to many more medically interfering procedures.  My midwife doesn't even consider the baby technically late until at least 2 weeks past the D-day!
