Another curiosity-borne question: I have heard anecdotal evidence that claims "First babies are more likely to be late" and "First babies are more likely to be early." Have you noticed anything in your research that supports either? Are people telling you more of one anecdotal type of evidence than the other?

Oddly enough, I've never felt the desire to touch a pregnant woman's belly. Perhaps if the person in question really wanted me to and asked me, but I have never felt a strong impulse to pat or otherwise touch someone's belly.
