the sooner the due date comes for example she is due on the 8th and the baby would come before then?

what i know for a fact with two children myself is every delivery is different it doesn't matter how many children u have given birth to because sometimes your first experience with giving childbirth can be easier than the second one or maybe different.

not always true most any doctor will try to stop labor The starts before 36 weeks unless the water is broke. A baby should be born between 37 and 42 weeks no matter the 1st or 9th that is full term a baby under 37 weeks is not called full term!. My 1st was 36 my 2ed 37 so sometimes they come Early sometimes late how many kids the mom has had dose not mean they will come sooner. Some 1st babies come to soon. The only thing that changes a lot after the 1st is length of labor 1st time labor last longest.

no it isn't true.
Although some women carry babies longer than other women do . All mine were a week early and around nine pounds.
When it comes to due date consider two weeks before and two weeks after the due date to be the birth day.
More often than not a women will have her babies around the same time as their other babys.
I had one doctor tell me that each woman has a cooking time and when it is done then the baby is born.
There are other factors that determine the birth date. The mother's blood sugar. The size of the baby. Intestional cramping can encourage labor. Although many women try everything from spicy meals to sex to get labor started.....it works with some and not with others.
The one thing a woman can count on .......is that she won't be pregnant forever!

No, they wouldn't just keep coming earlier and earlier....babies are gonna be born when they are ready...regardless of how many you have had in the past.
They do say labor can be quicker for each pregancy, but thats not ALWAYS the case. Both my 1st and 2nd pregancies were over 12 hours....my 3rd was 7 1/2 hours....
I have had 3 kids, so far--#1 was 3 days early, #2 was also 3 days early, and #3 was 2 days early. I am currently on prengancy #4...Due Sept 18th.....

Actually I had my first early, my second on his due date and my third late. I don't think it matters it just all depends on when they are good and ready and as long as your niece isn't high risk their is no reason why she can't go on or even after her due date.

I've never heard of that before. But usually after someones had their first, second, and so on (child).. the labor and delivery goes faster.

Absolutely not. And labors aren't necessarily shorter or easier either.

Not necessarily. I do know the more kids you have the faster the labor is.

Not particularly, the baby comes when it is ready.
