Arrival of Boys

[Cyathea]

My first boy - 5 days "late" my second boy 5 days "early"

I think it is more true that a first baby is usually 'late', (ie has a longer gestation in general) than a boy baby being 'late'...

My sisters boys - 1st came 2 weeks early and 2nd came 2 weeks late so go figure??

DS was born 38w6d with a spontaneous labour.

[Shanti]

Sounds like an old wives tale to me hun!
He'll come when he's ready

[visitor1]

I def thinks its a wives tale now.....

He will keep mummy waiting....Jasmine has been talking to him....'Stay put bro....its mayhem out here with Chelsea'..LOL

[SamiH]

Absolutely not!!

DS1 was a week early
DS2 was 10 days early

It was DD that was 1 day late - typical girl

[~Raven~]

One of mine came on his EDD and the other two were late. The girl was late too though

[rhyb]

Aiden was 9 days late. He was cutting it close cz my induction was booked for 8am the following morning lol

[Laranna]

My boy arrived 3 weeks and 1 day early! He was 7 lbs and 50cm long, HC 34cm....good size for being so early!

[Janie]

Um, my boy arrived 5 weeks early. I had PROM, and immediately went into labour.

Total baloney, that one!

Willow, these family theories are funny, hey?! Ours is that each of my PILs kids has one prem..........I kinda hope that it's true, because it means that I've had mine! I really don't want to prove it wrong, and have another one . Interesting fact though - no one in either family who is alive today was born after their EDD.........we have fast ovens LOL.

My brother and I were both born on our due dates!

[Lolli]

My ds was 4 days early... thanks goodness, I was begging him to come by that point..

[Lulu]

Ooh Kimbaz! I can't wait until your little man is here. I promise you will spend hours looking at his newborn willie....after 2 girls its sooooo weird seeing extra bits down there!

Boys are wonderful, they truly love their mummies....

[Madissun]

My Toby was 12 days early

[Willow]

I promise you will spend hours looking at his newborn willie....after 2 girls its sooooo weird seeing extra bits down there!

LOL, sooo true! I felt like an eejit because I'd get little shock every time I'd change his nappy for about 3 weeks after he was born

[Visitor8]

First came a week early. I was induced because my waters broke and nothing happened.
Second came 2 weeks late on the day I was supposed to be induced.
Last came a week early because I was induced.

[Snacks]

Both of mine arrived exactly on their birthdays

My brother and I were both born on our due dates!
