The baby has been small all of the second trimester, but had some interesting developments on his last scan, done at 31 weeks, though the due date has remained the same.

Average Gestation is 40 weeks (June 6th), though a full-term pregnancy is between 37 (May 16th) and 42 (June 20th) weeks.

Most first pregnancies will either come early or late, not on time.

37 weeks - 5.69% 38 weeks - 14.36% 39 weeks - 21.56%

40 weeks - 32.44% 41 weeks - 14.65% 42 weeks - 3.40% 43+ weeks - 0.13%
