See Figure 7.4 on page 83 of the following publication, which shows The distribution of births by gestational age in 1999 (most recent published).I'd like to see a graph or some data showing when babies are born relative to the due date that the doctor assigned early on in the pregnancy.
From The AIHW publication Australia's babies, their health and wellbeing.
ETA - you could contact the AIHW library to find out whether this data has been cross-compared with other demographic information such as age of mother, different countries of origin etc (this info was collected at both of my baby's births in different states, I'm sure it's all fed up the chain statistically).
