Following on from the other thread about personality type - how about this one....

[SilkCutMama]

I have a hypothesis about personality type and childbirth

Please tell me your type code and then whether your child(ren) was/were born

Early
On time
Late

[hester]

ENTJ. Went into labour one hour into my due date. Felt very clever.

dd born by emergency CS 28 hours later. No longer feeling so clever.

[babypringle]

INFP two weeks early

[ellasmum1]

ISFJ Defender, 10 days overdue.

[Soapbox]

Oops - that should say ENTP - two weeks late!

[Soapbox]

ENTJ - both 2 weeks late.

[didoreth]

INTP
dd - never established a clear due date (on pill, pregnancy not diagnosed till 17 weeks, different scans gave dates over 3 weeks apart)
ds - 12 days late

[Bowddee]

What if your cycle is completely random?

[ThatBigGermanPrison]

See, I have heard it's all to do with how long your menstrual cycle is - mine is naturally long, so my babies were naturally late. Caucasian women have a longer pregnancy too (I have read)

[Bowddee]

INTJ

2 weeks early.

[Shitemum]

INTJ

Both a couple of days late

[ThatBigGermanPrison]

ESFJ

16 days late
12 days late

[minouminou]

intp engineer
DS was a week late
there seem to be an awful lot of defenders here - i wonder if there's something in this

[morethanasong]

ISFJ - The "Defender"

dd 9 days early.

I seem to support your theory

[Enraha]

ENTP

late (11 days)

May I say 'typical' for the last-minute procrastinators that both I and DH are!

[Troutpout]

ISFJ Defender
ds 8 days late
dd 7 days late

[mummy2bsoon]

wats a type code

[thumbwitch]

ISTP - 2 weeks late and needed induction.

TBH, SCM< I would have thought it would be more dependent on the child's type than the mum's, no?

Sadly DS is only 8.5mo so can't test him yet!

But if it's any consolation, I was 5 days late, and my DH was 2 weeks late (in fact my MIL had 3 pregs and they were all 2 weeks late)

[norksinmywaistband]

ISFJ

DUE DATE
7 DAYS EARLY

[Umlellala]

oh, i support your hypothesis!

[Umlellala]

ENFP
dd - 3 days late
ds - 2 days late

[thereluctantmilitant]

I wonder if it would add weight to any hypothesis to do the test as I was when I had my first dc. I was very changed by the time I had dcno3 - post divorce and am markedly changed again now, or is your view that Personality type is inherent/fixed?

[funnypeculiar]

ENFP
ds - 4 weeks early
dd - 2 days late

[mears]

ESFJ

2 on time
2 early

[Philomytha]

INTP. Went into labour on my due date.

[HappypillsGalore]

i doint have either of those combos in mine, is that why mine were an unpredictablke mix up then?
