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

[pigleychez]

ISFJ (Defender)

DD was 12 days late- Induced

[PinkyDinkyDooToo]

Where is the peronality type thread, I would like to do it

[JodieG1]

ENFP and all 3 were early.

[HappypillsGalore]

ESFP entertainer
ds1 - 38w
ds2 - 41w
ds3 - 40w

[ghosty]

ENFP - The Advocate
DS was 41 weeks
DD was 40 + 4

[CJMommy]

ENTJ
DS - One day late

[PinkyDinkyDooToo]

Found it - ESFJ

Early and on time

[cremolafoam]

INJF

late

[thereluctantmilitant]

ENFP - Advocate
1st child born on EDD, 2nd on due date, 3rd 10 days late
I was born very prematurely and 1st born of two

[SilkCutMama]

It won't fit everytime but my hypothesis was this:

If you have SJ in your type code then your babe is likely to be on time or early

If you have NP in your type code then your babe is likely to be on time or late

The JP difference is the main one that I thought might make a difference

It is very interesting seeing your responses - thanks for joining in

I will compile it all and let you know

[HappypillsGalore]

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

[Philomytha]

INTP. Went into labour on my due date.

[mears]

ESFJ

2 on time
2 early

[funnypeculiar]

ENFP
ds - 4 weeks early
dd - 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?

[Umlellala]

ENFP
dd - 3 days late
ds - 2 days late

[Umlellala]

oh, i support your hypothesis!

[norksinmywaistband]

ISFJ

DUE DATE
7 DAYS EARLY

[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)

[mummy2bsoon]

wats a type code

[Troutpout]

ISFJ Defender
ds 8 days late
dd 7 days late

[Enraha]

ENTP

late (11 days)

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

[morethanasong]

ISFJ - The "Defender"

dd 9 days early.

I seem to support your theory

[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
