Arrival of Boys

[visitor1]

OK so now that i have approx 4 weeks to go with our first boy...all the 'Oh he will come late' stories are surfacing... 'Boys always come late'.

Now i know babies come when they are ready....but is there any truth in these statements??

When did your boys arrive....early or late....and by how much!

[Lulu]

Nope, mine was 2 days early!

A friend of mine has had a boy & a girl. Her boy came 2 weeks early, her girl was 2 weeks late.

[~clover~]

My girls were 8 & 7 days late.
My little man was 2 days early.

[Sterla]

With me and my siblings, my sister and I came late (me by one day, my sister by a week), and my brother came a week early - so that kind of goes against that saying!

[Pandora]

not from my mums exp. I was 4 weeks late, my brother was 3 weeks early.

[Ozziehoffy]

First was c/s... second 4 days past EDD... although I don't really count that as late as really my calculations could've been out by a few days anyway!!

[Snowy Love]

2 days after due date - so not really late, more almost on time!

[New Dawn]

well DS came at 39 weeks but was induesed due to high BP so I guess he doesnt count...

[visitor1]

Oh good....so there is hope!!

DD1 was 3 days early..DD2 was 5 days late....so its just a waiting game....but im just hearing all these boys and always being late....not many seem to come early or on time!

[Lisa]

DS1 was a week late, DS2 was 5 days early.

[Willow]

Meh, I have one of each and both arrived exactly 10 days past EDD after a spontaneous labour.

There is an interesting theory in my DHs family though that boys are easy births and girls give their mothers grief with looooong, hard labours. Unfortunately, this has been true for MIL, SIL and me! So hope this one is true for your sake! LOL.

Master j was on his due date
Master M was 2 weeks late

and

Master L is wanting out now 9 weeks early

[AmandaJ]

Mine in order were EDD, 7 days late, EDD, 1 day late and 2 days early.

hugs xoxo

[Macca79]

My DS was 5 days late.

[MrsB26]

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

[visitor1]

For the record....my DS did end up coming late....7 days late....LOL

So the statement might have been a bit 'out there'....but it was true for me

I just gave birth to my third son on thursday, and he was 13 days 'over' (other two were 5 days 'over' and 5 days 'early')
