    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'...

    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.

    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

    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.
