My daughter was 3 weeks early, and she was 7 lbs 9, so very good size for being 'early'...which leads me to agree with what others have said, I think she was finished growing and all ready to be born! I think not only are different pregnancies different lengths, but some mums seem to have short pregnancies while others have longer ones, reasonably consistently each time, which makes me think thats just the way theirs will always be...very interesting...

Mine were all random. I went into spontaneous labour with Maya at 38 weeks and she was born 10 days early.
The gremlins were induced at 36w5d, but I was already 4cm dilated when I arrived to be induced and the midwife said they would probably have arrived within the next 48 hours anyway. We expected them to be way earlier.
Lil miss I was induced at 39 weeks because I wanted her out. Again, I was sure she'd be early coz my cervix was ready from about 33 weeks but even on the morning of my induction the midwife said "this baby really isn't ready." She must have been ready coz she flew out 100 miles an hour.

DS was a week early by dates, 4 days early by scan.

Ollie was 4 days over due and Lilia 5 days over. I'm also trying not to concentrate too much on dates this time around.

DS was 3 days overdue (but was apparently slightly overcooked as initial DD was nearly 3 weeks earlier), DD was 2 days early.
Most people I know who have had an early scan and have normal pregnancies/no maternal issues, have had their babies a few days either side of their scan EDD.

Mine came exactly on time, but I was in latent labour for a couple of days so apparently she was waiting for the right day

Lauren was 2 weeks early, but I always went on the idea that she'd be born anywhere between 38 and 42 weeks cause it takes the pressure off.
