Im not exactly sure the percentage but I do know it happen quite a alot or at least from the people ive heard of....Here 36 weeks is considered full term so anything after that is ok...I mean the baby wouldnt be considered preemie or anything if u had him or her now

Well last time I went to dr he measured me and I measured 37 instead of 36 like I should be. He's not one to tell more information than your prod him. I am 36 weeks and 2 days and so anxious to meet my son as is his father. :) if anyone wants to keep in touch after I have him and all I will send pics and such pm me. I am just curious is it normal to have your baby around 37 or so weeks? Thanks for the reply back :)

I think 37 weeks is fine. Anything between 36-42 weeks is normal. I wouldn't bee too worried. Good luck!!!
