I was induced at 37 weeks so maybe I shouldn't have done the clicky, I didn't read your text until after lol. People definitely go early; my mom had us all between 3 and 6 weeks early and wasn't induced.
DS (7 years old) from FET in 2010 DD (5 years old) from IUI in 2012 TTC 3rd and final!: IUI #1 in progress!
DD was born on her exact due date. I went into labor at 4:44 am on her due date and she was born at 4:43 pm.
The OBGYN went with my due date over the one that was determined using the ultrasound (I think there was 1 week difference between the 2) because I was using the Clearblue Easy ovulation predictor kits and was really confident of when she was conceived.
DH: 34/Me: 35 Married: Feb 2008 DD: June 2011 TTC# 2: April 2014 BFP!! 8/29/16 --> EDD: 5/11/17....it's a GIRL!!!
I know that people do deliver earlier, but most people I know who did deliver early were induced or had a scheduled c-section for one reason or another.
The average length of gestation is 41w 1d for first time, low-risk moms. So, yes, if left to their own devices, most women "go late", but that's only because the magical 280day thing was made up by a man who didn't gather very good data in the first place.
Went into labor on my own 3 days late. Had her 4 days after my due date. I would have been induced at 41 weeks if I hadn't gone into labor on my own. I was very happy I didn't have to be induced.
That's funny. Most of my friends and I have gone early. I had both my babies early. My best friend had all 3 of her kids early (I'm talking just like a week or two, not premature). I don't know many people who went past their due date.
I had mine at 37 weeks exactly...but I had twins and was induced. It was good timing too because DS was 7lb3oz and DD was 5lb10oz and neither needed any NICU or other intervention.

40 weeks and 6 days, a couple hours before 41 weeks, so I just voted 41 weeks.
I went into labour on my own (water broke, then some contractions started). I had to have a c-section because he was breech and had a huge head.
DD - 38 weeks
DS - 37 weeks 5 days
I think I'm a fast gestator
DD- 40w2d
DS- 40w4d
My water broke one week and one day before my due date. She was born exactly one week early.
I voted on due date.
1 was induced the day before and born on, 2 induced 17 days early, 3 was induced the day before my edd. All 3 kids were 8 lbs+.
I had DD at 37 wks 3 days, and I was induced with DS at 39 wks 3 days.
