I keep hearing that first babies are usually "late". Does anyone have a link to an actual study? Not that I think it matters, I'm just curious.

My bub came 3 days before his due date. I was my Mum's first and I was 2 weeks early (though I'm sure that isn't all that common).

Sorry, I don't have a link.

1st bub was due on the 12th and even though I went into hospital on the 10th, I had her on the 12th.

No link, but both my kids were late. My sister in law had both of her babies early, just depends on when bubs is ready for their big entrance

Not for me my first born was prem...

My first was 5 weeks early, none have mine have gone past 38 weeks.

They say statistically you're more likely to go overdue with #1, but there is (in my opinion) more evidence to suggest that women will follow in the footsteps of their own mother.

But who are they? I want some hard data!!

From a family of 41-42wk PGs

I only made it to 37w5d with #1.

#2 was evicted at same gestation.

#3 was even earlier at 36w3d.



My little sister only made it to 35w5d she had HELLP Eclampsia and bubs had to be removed for both their sakes. She was in ICU for 4 nights herself.

I was mum's 1st and came two weeks late. My sister came a week late.

My nephew was two weeks early.

DD came right on her due date.
