Is being over due hereditary?

Question

I read somewhere that this could be hereditary. So if your mother or sister was overdue, you probably will be too. Any second time moms that can tell me whether this was true for them or not? My mom had me a week early so I'm hoping this is kind of true. I really don't wanna be overdue 😁

Answer

My brother was 2 weeks early and I was 2 weeks late.

Answer

I'm pregnant with my first I kinda wanna know the answer to this too because my mom was two weeks over due with me an a week over due with both my brothers. I'm not looking foward to being overdue if it hereditary :/

Answer

I think so. My mom was 2 weeks overdue when she was induced with me. My brother was induced at 37 weeks. And I was induced at 41+1. One of my mothers favorite sayings is that "first babies are always late".

Answer

I think that can play a role in it but I think being active and walking a lot in pregnancy helps labor progress faster. I had my first at 38 weeks and I was a busy body. With my second I was tired all the time and not as active and had to be induced at 40 weeks. My sister was sedentary with her first and was induced at 42 weeks

Answer

My mom had my brother 3 weeks early, had me 2 weeks early and had my sister 1 week early.

​I work as an ER nurse and am on my feet for the ENTIRE 12 hours. Went into preterm labor 3 days ago :( only 29 weeks along. Thankfully they were able to stop it. I was having contractions ever 2-3 minutes for over 3 hours. IV fluids and a shot of terbutaline helped it. Side note - my dr didn't even put me on light duty because of this and said I can resume work like normal - which I'm scared of:( 
​
​Anyways, I think when you'll deliver is mainly due to how active you are but family genes probably play a role too.

Answer

My mum had both my sister and I a week early. My currently overdue with my first :/

Answer

My mom was born a week early, I was born on my due date, and my daughter was 5 days early. My little brother was two weeks early. So it may be possible 😊
