1st baby, how many weeks (+days?) were you gone when the baby was born?
Was it spontaneous, induced or C-section with no labour?
If you don't mind saying, how would you describe your ethnic origin (some ethnic groups may go longer than others....)?

Ta! My answers are:
39 weeks+0days, spontaneious, American white mutt.

40w+6days, spontaneous(and by far the worst of my 3 labours, longer and more painful.)
British white.

DD1: 39+5, spontaneous (v long labour over a couple of days otherwise earlier).

DD2: 37+5, spontaneous.

Mixed-race: mother Indian, father English/Scandinavian.

Both my sister's boys were early as well. And we were too. I have a totally unresearched theory that there is a genetic link.

pale welsh person!

I was under the impression that there was a statistical trend for women to have a particular gestation period - i.e. some women tend to have their babies a bit early, others tend to have them a bit late. Any idea if that's true anyone? Zebra - did you find anything like that?
