how many 1st prgnancys actualy giv birth earlier thn the due date, isit tru 1st pregnancys tend to b overdue?

a harvard study showed that the average pregnancy (regardless of if it is first or fifty) lasts 41 weeks and 1 day. there are people who go early and people who are always late. i think it has less to do with the number of pregnancies and more to do with the mother and baby.

Personally I think it depends more on the women's body and the baby.

My mom went 3 weeks overdue with me (no I'm not joking). Two weeks overdue with my brother and wasn't given a due date with my sister. She was just told between the middle of Oct to the middle of Nov (she came Nov 1).

My oldest came at 38 weeks 2 days. My sister's first came at 38 weeks 4 days. Her 2nd was born 2 days overdue and her last came 4 weeks early.

Don't know about averages, but my mum gave birth early to all four of us - two weeks early for firstborn (me). So just because it's a first-time, doesn't mean it will be overdue or vice versa - I think it depends a lot on the pregnancy. the rarest is when a women gives birth on her exact due date, it's usually either early or late.

With my first pregnancy I was due on April 7th and gave birth on March 29th. So I was 10 days early. I think every pregnancy is different so you just don't know when for sure. This time I am due December 24th, I am hoping I go early again.

my 1st baby came 3 weeks early

2nd 10 days late

3rd 7 days late

4th on time

5th 2 weeks early!

i kinda go on baby will come when baby is ready! some like tocome early some just get so dam comfortable they refuse to budge!

so in my case its just very random like most pregnancies all births can be very different for many different reasons

maximum persons of first toddlers are late. I went into hard artwork each and every week after my due date, and had my daughter 2 days after that. (Yikes!) If I have been you, i could have each and every thing waiting, yet plan on waiting till a minimum of each and every week after your due date. That way you don't get your hopes up that s/he would be here early, and finally end up waiting. those previous few weeks can seem to take perpetually!!!

i had an elective induction at 39 weeks 6 days but was showing no signs of going into labor on my own. when i was checked for the first time after arriving at the hospital i was 3cm dialated so who knows how long i really would have gone.

well i completely break that myth. My first was born at 38 weeks and my second was born at 40+6 weeks.

If you are early or late depends on many things
