Heyy.. so I was just looking around and my wifes 37 weeks now... and ive read a few threads where they said most first time babies come between 37 and 39 weeks. How many weeks were you when you had your first?

40+4.

I thought the statistic was that most first time babies came after their due date? However, none of it is an exact science unfortunately. Baby comes when they're ready super late if you're my sonAngry

  1. Anywhere between 37 and 42 is normal.

My first was born 12 days early, so 38 weeks.

It really is impossible to say, baby will come when it's ready, or in my case when you're induced Wink

Where have you got your statistics from? I thought the statistics were that most first time mums gave birth after 40 weeks.

40+6 and still pregnant here. Think your stats are wrong - you're more likely to be post 40 weeks with your first.
