How many of you went over your due date with your first baby? My office manager and the volunteers here are all convinced that i'm going to be over due... They always say things like "you're going to be over due" and "you're not going to go into labor until your 42 weeks"... When they say this, it depresses me... Especially b/c my doctor keeps telling me that we're ahead of schedule and he's changed my due date twice b/c her size is increasing rapidly. I was supposed to be due december 6, then he changed it to the 2nd, now to november 28, and he says that we can probably expect her early (she is already 15 inches long, and weighs almost 3 pounds! Her brain and legs are measuring 2 weeks ahead). But the ladies at my office keep saying "oh, well the doctor always tells you that she's coming early, he's only saying that" ... I know that the doctor's can't ever know for sure, so I was just wondering if the myth that first time mommies are always averdue?
