was your first baby earlier or later than expected due date?

I'm a ftm and was wondering if it's more common to go past your due date with your first or do they make their entrance early.  I'm due Dec 28 and I really hope to have a 2014 baby.

My DD was born exactly 1 week before her due date. She was my first and my after broke on its own. The contractions started immediately and she was born 15 hours later.  I Have been told multiple times,  that first babies are usually late. But it's definitely not the case for everyone!

My 1st and 2nd came 5 days early. I don't think it's common to be late I think it's just whenever baby is ready. =)
