I've heard "you'll never make it" in each of my pregnancies. I've gone to 40+4 twice and my last baby was 40+6! Don't let it get your hopes up, it only makes it harder as you get towards (or beyond!) your due date. This time, I'm finally not listening and just expecting to be overdue, anything earlier would be a lovely bonus (and a big surprise!). But you never know! Fingers crossed for you, seeing that due date come and go is torture! :)
I kept hearing the same thing at my shower :( but my doctor thinks I'll make it pretty close to due date.
