Just curious as its meant to be a really tiny percentage of population. As it was my first one i naively thought it would come when it was suppose to and lo and behold. I woke up at 9, felt a bit tired still so told dh going back to bed for a bit. Woke up at 12 by first contraction and had dd at 6pm! hysterical bit was that dh and i are notoriously late for everything!

1st was 13 days over. 2nd was 5 days early. I know which i preferred!

ds was born at 2.15am on the day after his edd - I went into labour on his edd. (dd1 was early and dd2 was late so I suppose it was inevitable really!!!)

Both of mine arrived on their due dates.....I'm too much of a control freak for it to have happened any other way!

here's a survey done recently on this question!!

Congratulations!

The stat is only five per cent of babies arrive on their estimated dates.

The hospitals edd & ine differed by 1 day.I knew mine was right as I'd been temp charting.DD1 arrived bang on the day I'd predicted.

DD2 was 2.5 weeks early & took me by surprise.

misdee · 09/10/2005 20:22

dd1 arrived bang on date.

mugface · 09/10/2005 20:33

ds1 was born on his edd

littleshebear · 09/10/2005 20:51

My ds2 was also born on his EDD.

Mum2OneAndBump · 09/10/2005 20:54

hmm ds was 10 days late and i am hoping this baby will be bang on or early i just could not handle the 10 days over again

scaryspacecadet · 09/10/2005 20:55

i arrived on my edd!
according to my mother i was due on the 24th august but the hospital told her there was no way id be born on that date at her ante-natal check, but im very impatient me!

tina1975 · 09/10/2005 21:09

my daughter arrived on her due date soo wasnt expecting it went shopping all day came home sat down contractions started then 20 mins later in hospital 2 hours later baby born what a stroke of luck!!! was in need of some luck had really shitty hyperemises (severe sickness) the whole time

Blossomhowl · 09/10/2005 21:22

My dd came on her due date

Gillian76 · 09/10/2005 21:33

My 3rd arrived on his due date.

The girls were late - 8 days and 4 days.

dollybird · 11/10/2005 22:37

No such luck - mine were 16 and 11 days late (latter only coz I couldn't take it any longer!!)

Nemo666 · 11/10/2005 22:48

ds was 15days over so really hoping this one is on time.

Lel1972 · 12/10/2005 13:53

my DD was born on her dd - my waters broke at 11.45pm the night before, and she was born at 8am - she's still like that now, she can wait for something until just a few minutes before the time we've said then has to do it early!

my nieces were both late, and again they are still a bit like that now, very relaxed and will get there when they get there!

anyone else noticed any similarities like this?

flamebat · 12/10/2005 13:56

This one is due on my sister's birthday. She is insisting that it comes out on time.

Am I evil for wanting it to come on any other day just to wind her up? Mwahahaha

Fimbo · 12/10/2005 13:58

My sil had her baby on her due date. My dd was born 2 weeks early and ds 1 week early as both c-sections.

auntymandy · 12/10/2005 14:05

one of mine came on due date. Which was Christmas Eve, typical!

homemama · 12/10/2005 14:13

Ds was a due date baby. I was very relieved as I was terrified of being induced!

Bagpuss30 · 12/10/2005 14:21

ds1 was on due date. Friday 13th, exactly 5 years ago tomorrow .

gingerbear · 12/10/2005 14:25

I did. My waters broke the day before, but labour didn't really get going. After a failed induction had a c-section on due date.
