No not yet!
For all of you who are calling and asking “Is the baby there yet?” the answer is no!
The due date is actually tomorrow and it is very common in the first pregnancy to go up to two weeks over it. We are as excited as all of you are, but please the stress levels are starting to increase as it is, can you bare with us. 
(For a long time, obstetricians decided on the expected date of birth by adding nine months and seven days to the first day of your last menstrual period. This is called ‘Naegele’s Rule’. But this way of predicting when a baby is due only works if you have very regular periods and always ovulate in the middle of your cycle. As we all know, this isn’t true of everyone.
If Naegele’s Rule is used, 83 per cent of women give birth before they reach 40 weeks of pregnancy plus 10 days, and a further 9.5 per cent give birth before they reach 42 weeks. This leaves 7.5 per cent being delivered after 42 weeks. On the other hand, if early ultrasound is used to decide when a baby is due, 95 per cent of women give birth by the time they reach 40 weeks + 10 days, with another 1.5 per cent up to 42 weeks. This leaves only 3.5 per cent of women undelivered after 42 weeks)
