It may be true that only 5% give birth on their actual due date but, according 
to a graph from a link off of that site (at: 
http://www.dogfish.org/chris/fun/delivery.html), the modal birth date (about 
28% of births) is within a week of the due date. Also, the idea that most 
births happen after the due date, seems not to be true (which makes sense 
since, although there will always be premature births, there are very few 
births these days that aren't induced if the gestation goes even a week or two 
after the due date. Thanks,
