Ollie was early because he was in fetal distress because of only having half of a uterus to grow in, and his cord just wouldn't have allowed him to make it much longer. I think if Finley is early, it won't be so early it's not in October.

I know each mom is different but this is how my doctor explained it to me (I have no choice of a vbac and will have c sections). Unless the baby is in distress, moms blood pressure is up (my friend had that problem & hers was scheduled at 38 weeks), preclamp, etc.. (So pretty much anything that will harm the mom or baby) - they won't allow the baby to come before 39 weeks. Now I don't know exactly because I skip over her BD's but has she actually said her doc will allow for a VBAC? If so, no problem there but if they haven't given her the OK she most likely already has her c section scheduled .
When my sister looked into using a midwife they wouldn't let her do a VBAC and said there was only a handful to will take on that risk.
I'm reading back through part one of DailyBumps threads, before Ollie was born, and Missy acted the same exact way then about wanting the baby to come early. She was hoping Ollie would come by 37 weeks, because with her funny-shaped belly she was measuring at 44 weeks pregnant.
Apparently even being high risk, the doctors were only going to induce if she made it past 39 weeks. She was doing lunges and yoga to try to get him "into position" by 35 weeks, and she convinced herself she had pre-e (a condition in which you need to be induced immediately), went to the doctor and was fine. I just think it's interesting she's doing the same thing this time too, saying she thinks he will come early, going to the ER thinking her water broke, etc
