Short cycles = earlier labour?!

Hello? Just curious here. I’ve heard having short menstrual cycles can mean that baby will arrive earlier - is there any proof to this, from any Of your experiences at least? I have a short cycle most of the time, albeit irregular, ranging from 21-25 days on average, I have the occasional cycle that is 26-28 days and had a few cycles as short as 18 days.

I haven’t heard this but can see how it might make sense. It wasn’t the case for me though. I have cycles of a similar length to yours and both of my pregnancies went to 41 weeks.
