- Stop Calling It a Due Date! Start Calling It a Guess Date!
Your due date is just an estimate! Many factors affect when your baby will arrive, including genetics. Most first-time moms give birth between 40-42 weeks. Mentally prepare yourself for a longer pregnancy to avoid pressure for induction at 40 weeks. You can make an informed decision for your baby!
