    I don't think you can generalize about first born babies. Like a first born baby isn't more likely to be born early or be a male/female or have a learning disability.

    I was born two months early, but that was due to the HELLP syndrome my mom had that doctors didn't notice. They knew about it ahead of time with my brothers and sisters.

    My first born was 2 days late.

  • I think statistically first babies are usually a little late. My daughter was born 5 days past her due date.

    Generally, first babies are a little late. 41 weeks is the average gestation for first babies. But that doesn't mean that there are firstborns that come a bit early. The baby will come when he or she is good and ready.

    Generally first babies are born after their due date. My first was born on his due date.

    Both mine were early - the first one 3 weeks and the second one 1 week. Nobody could explain it and they were both perfectly healthy. Both my best friend's babies were late. But remember, due dates, calendars etc are all a human invention. Nature doesn't measure days, hours etc. People do. Your baby will come when nature is ready!

    everyone is different my little boy was 13 days late. but then my sister was 3 days early with her first son and my cousin on 1 day early with her first daughter so it just depends on when the little one is ready to come out .
