Hi everyone My name is Chantal. I am due next friday. I have been reading some very interesting articles about ethnic minorities and due dates. According to a big study as I am of black origin I may be due after 39 weeks as we tend to gestate quicker. I have been having the symptoms of labour for the past week and a half so it looks like I may give birth before my the 24th. I am expecting a little boy. Chantal
