How many women will deliver before their due date?

Answer by  Kimi (432)

According to the Mayo Clinic, about 40% of women deliver before their due date. However, this depends a lot on your circumstances. For first time mothers, delivery before the due date is much less likely, and more often you will deliver a week or so after your due date.

That is really hard to tell. March of dimes says that over one million premature babies die every year to being premature. I believe the statistics are that 7. 6% of all live births are premature or one in every 8 births result in a premature birth. Babies born after 28 weeks are said to have the best chance of survival.

The due date is never accurate. That is the estimated day that you will have your baby, but it is never exact. You could have the baby two weeks earlier than that, or two weeks after. As long as it is around that area, then the baby is fine. Most women are either early or late.

Before due date atleast 60 to 70% women deliver,but that is week or 10 days. It's normal as the ninth month delivery can happen any time,its safe. Rest 30%deliver after due date.
