She was born one day before the due date, too. </p> <p>But I always kept the due date as a four week range in my head and assumed I'd go later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/40-week-pregnancy-myth-busted#post-1008265 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 14:47:47 +0000 cascademom 1008265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting. I delivered at 39w5 days, two days before my due date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/40-week-pregnancy-myth-busted#post-1008227 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 14:27:55 +0000 googly-eyes 1008227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting! I delivered exactly on my due date so I liked having one, lol. It's nice to have a date to think of but it can be hard not to get attached to that date especially in the third trimester! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/40-week-pregnancy-myth-busted#post-1008220 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 14:25:24 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1008220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice article and study. I knew my exact conception date but my OB still wanted to go by the first US. I was like, ok but I can calculate the date exactly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/40-week-pregnancy-myth-busted#post-1008204 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 14:18:44 +0000 Torchwood 1008204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I apologize if someone's already posted this, but I haven't seen it and a search didn't turn it up. Finally science is verifying what most women have been aware of for a very long time. </p> <p><a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/length-of-pregnancy-can-vary-by-up-to-five-weeks-scientists-discover-8749081.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/length-of-pregnancy-can-vary-by-up-to-five-weeks-scientists-discover-8749081.html</a> </p>
