I had my daughter 6 days early, but most of my friends have gone past their expected due date. Everyone and every pregnancy is different...when baby is ready or if there is a medical reason, he/she will come.

I was 38 weeks and 3 days when I went into labor with my first. I know it's much more common to go past your due date with your first child though!

No, pregnancy is different for everyone. Statistically first babies are usually late.
