Yeah the stats say they usually come "late", but really I don't think it's anything to count on. I was two weeks late, hubby was 8 weeks early, his brothers were one late one early, all our nieces and nephews are about 50/50. Everyone is different, just discuss it with your Dr and watch your body. Good luck!

My aunties first was 14 weeks early. My SIL's first was three weeks early. My friend in work had her first a month early. It depends on your body, when baby is ready, a lot of things. There isn't any way of predicting that your baby will come late because it's your first

Technically your due date is inaccurate because they don't really know what day you actually conceived so your baby could come earlier or later

Yes, my birth class teacher said to add 8 days to your due date to get a more realistic  date. That being said, mine came two weeks early, so you never know! Average baby is takes.longer, but everyone is different!

Generally people say first borns are overdue. But my daughter was one day early. I'm thinking I will be overdue with this one. I would think it depends on how accurate your due date is too??...

Only 4% of women have their babies on their due date, so its more likely to be late I think lol
