- Only 4% of babies are born on their due date.
- 85% of babies are born after their due date.
- The methodology used to calculate due dates is based on research from the 1800s.
- In the UK your due date is based on pregnancy being 40 weeks, other countries (like France) weeks base it on 41.
Due dates are absolute nonsense! If only 4% of babies come on their due date, they’re really not very accurate are they?
As you get to your due date you’re likely to get a lot of well-meaning messages and calls. Your friends and family will be asking whether you’ve had your baby yet! No heavily pregnant woman needs that level of stress!
What do you think about due dates?
