Q: average length of first pregnancy?

Does anybody know the 'average' length of a first pregnancy? my midwife has told me that most first time mums go over due but then again most younger mums deliver early, I know he has to come out some-time soon but I haven't even had my 'show' yet :( there have been no labour symptoms at all, and I really don't want to be induced, advice anyone, I'm getting so impatient!

With my first I was 39 weeks and 6 days when I had her. I was induced with my second at 39 weeks and 4 days because of bad sciatica pain. I am currently 40 weeks and 4 days with my third now and still waiting for baby to come.

My mom was 25 when she had me (her first) at 38 weeks 3 days. Then my brother her second was like 8 days late or so. heh. Two of my friends my age late 20's early 30s had their firsts recently one at 37 weeks 3 days and another at 37 weeks exactly. Then my younger friend who was 21 had her first last year at 41 weeks .. so.. who knows really. I know they "say" that first time moms are usually late but thats not always the case.

A quick google has revealed it's 40w8d, but I don't know if this is right :S

Really hope my baby doesn't take that long to show up!! Good luck :)
