Yeah, in general! But since dd was very late, earlier than her could still be late!

Goodness, I hope not, my first baby was 11 days early.... I'd be happy with 9 days early, valentines day though

Term is 38-42 weeks so any baby born in that time is clearly just a term baby neither "late" nor "early". They come on their birthdays, remember

My first was 41+3 and my second was about 37/8. Go figure

Well, dd was 42+5, so I guess she was late! I do know what you mean though, I actually did a pretty job of not being impatient until 42 weeks, but it was then that I reached my patience cut-off!

It's so hard you know, I believe that babies come in due time, when they want to, blah blah blah. But it's hard when you're there and your back is hurting and you have folded those newborn clothes and diapers like 8 million times!

With my dd I was all "baby can cook as long as she wants, I'm happy being pregnant" She was born 10 days past her edd.
With this one I have that "any day now" feeling... I'm 36 weeks
