maybe there should be an 'early by intervention' option cos I guess a lot of the early ones bubs might not have actually been ready but for medical reasons were delivered.

We got told at antenatal that most first babies were late. Then 7 of us went early and 4 were late. A couple of us were induced early/had c-sections due to complications, so I guess that pushes the early figures up. Might be a different story if the poll asked how many people went into spontaneous labour with their first early/on dates/late.]]> Fri, 22 Feb 2008 17:05:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14700&PID=309165&title=im-surprised#309165 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14700&PID=309101&title=im-surprised#309101 Author: Bizzy

It is a very interesting poll. Out of the girls in my coffee group 5 were early, 1 came on their due date & 4 were late.

I'd heard that 1st time Mums usually delivered late so I was fully prepared to go over my EDD but baby came 6 days early. ]]> Fri, 22 Feb 2008 13:49:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14700&PID=308939&title=im-surprised#308939 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14700&PID=308936&title=im-surprised#308936 Author: The_Stuarts

Kiya was probably early (based on appearance at birth, we've no idea when she was actually due)

Josiah was born on his due date

Xavier was born 15 minutes after his due date... so if he hadn't sat around for half an hour 4mm away from crowning he probably would have been born on his due date

Nat and I were both born on our due dates ]]> Fri, 22 Feb 2008 13:31:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14700&PID=308927&title=im-surprised#308927 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14700&PID=308906&title=im-surprised#308906 Author: The_Stuarts

I heard that most woman take after their mums. Mine was early with all of hers.

I was surpised at how many are on time. Are we talking actual due dates or give or take a few days because I thought it's very rare to have your baby on their EDD?
