How true is it...

that FTMs usually go past their due date?

I've heard this for years but it seems to me that a lot of moms on here are having their babies BEFORE their due dates. I know this isn't scientific by any means. I'm just curious to know how many March first time mommas have had their babies early.

Please share whether you've delivered early, right on time, or are still waiting.

My 1st would have been late. I was induced on my due date for high BP.

lightgetsin · March 2013

I delivered my 1st at 39 weeks 3 days. 2nd came right at 40 weeks. 3rd was an induction at 39 weeks 6 days so not sure when he would have come. I am 39 weeks today and have a good feeling he is coming on his own today or else I am being

I'm a FTM, and our little Tobias came naturally at 39w6d... Just in time!

Me and my two sisters were all two weeks or plus late. My brothers probably would have been but they were scheduled sections.

We figured with my mom going so late, we would too. One sister went late, one delivered a few days before her due d

FTM here. DS arrived at 39w5d.

There was a scientific study done that showed its NOT true that FTMs are usually always late. I cant remember the exact numbers but it was almost identical, it was something like 46 pct early, 46 pct late, and 2 pct on their due date. They only looked at

I went into labor on my due date with my first.

With my first, my water broke 10 days early. You never know!

MapleStar · March 2013

I was induced at 41w3d with 1.

I'm currently 38w2d with 2 and pretty sure he's in there for the long haul. I'll be surprised if he comes before his due date, nor am I willing to get my hopes up as I was convinced I would go early last time a

I'm more pregnant now than with my first.

benmel31 · March 2013

I think anything can happen.

I delivered 4 weeks early.

Sporatygirl26 · March 2013

I was induced a week early due to low blood platelet levels BUT the dr said I probably would have gone past my due date.

MrsRuby2012 · March 2013

I'm a FTM and hit 39 weeks yesterday. Still playing the waiting game!

ShadyKull · March 2013

I am 38 weeks, 4 days and not getting my hopes up for anything happening very soon.

C Ann · March 2013

40 weeks and 3 days here....still waiting on this LO...guess baby is all too comfortable in there! Doctor said last week if I didnt have the baby by the next appt(this friday) we would talk about inducing...

markhamgurl · March 2013

Unless baby arrives by tomorrow sometime, I'll be late with this LO. DH found a stat online somewhere that said 5% of babies are born on their due date, and of the remaining, 30% are early and 70% arrive after the EDD.

I'm afraid I don't kn
