My OB kept telling me that first babies are ALWAYS late so I was totally shocked (had no hospital bag, was sort of in denial) when I went into labor 7 days early. My next two were also early by 3-4 days so I was thinking, "I just have my babies early" and #4 took her sweet time and came long 5 days late!
