OK here's my theory re late/early babies. If you're fat you'll be late, if you're skinny you'll be early.

I was ten days late and put on loads of weight. My theory is that the baby's nice and snug with all that padding and doesn't want to come out. Babies with skinny mums can't wait to get out.

Oh and please take this in the light-hearted way it's intended, I'm currently 8 weeks and suffering with bad morning sickness so be nice!

I don't think I am skinny, but I am not fat.
5'7
ds1 - pre-pg size 12 - 3 weeks early
ds2 - pre-pg size 14 - 3 weeks early
Didn't put on much weight with either of them due to horrendous morning sickness.

I'm normally a 10, dropped to a size 6 during pg (baby sucked the life blood out of me!) - 10 days late, sorry Shame I pigged out like a demon once she was born....

I have long cycles and late born babies and am relatively skinny

I was bang on time (to the day with DS2) with both

and was skinny but was a right lard arse during pregnancy (and now!)

so guess I balance out!

I'm tall and piled on the pounds for all 5 of mine - all 5 were late (1-3 weeks)
