fact or fiction?

I've heard a lot of people say that first time mom's usually deliver early. Any truth to this? And if so, how early?

Most first timers go late. Sorry. My first was born the day before my due date so I felt pretty lucky!

Ive heard a lot of people tell me ftm usually go past their due date! But it really depends on the pregnancy. Everyones different.

Fiction. In fact i think the average is between 39.5 - 41 weeks for first time moms.
