Never heard that. My sister had her first 2 days before due date and I had my first 10 days late.

My mom always had her babies about 2wks early and mine always come on or past their due dates but my grandma had all her kids on or past her due date so I guess I take after my grandma.

It is typically true.  My mom delivered about 2 weeks early with me and I delivered 2 weeks early with my daughter m my sister was 1 week early with her daughter.  Women in my family are known for going into labor before their due dates and even my doctor said that although its not for sure its a pretty good indicator of when you will go into labor. And the size of the baby is also similar

Not true at all. My mom had 5 kids easy and not easy labor both my older sister's and csections. Not easy labor mine and my little sister had so far the best labors fairly easy

Well my mom was 12 days late with me and my daughter was 13 days late. However my sister that was 2 weeks early didn't have her babies early and my sister that was 13 days late didn't have hers late. Maybe a couple days past her due date but that was it. But I don't think it's very true of a statement. I think it depends on your baby and your body and when they are ready.

Nope. Not true at all. My mom had horrible pregnancies,  labors & deliveries. They were also quite long & I was born at 730 at night.  My pregnancies, labors & deliveries have all been easy & short with the exception of my 3rd who was an emergency c section.  My kids were also born around lunch time after an 8 hour & 6 hour labor.

I've never heard that, but I don't believe there's much truth behind that. Maybe just a wise tale.

What do you mean. You mean you time of day when your mum had you? God if that's so it would mean almost a 6am birth for my baby! I'm not a morning person! (Lol)
