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)

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.
