    I've got 3 children.

    1 - 2 weeks late

    2 - 1 day early

    3 - bang on due date

    Paternity leave can't start before the day of birth anyway.

    My latest nephew was due 23rd August, but arrived on 14th. It's definitely not unreasonable to consider that the baby may arrive whilst the friend is on holiday.

    That was my point, to explain to mummyoftwomonkeys that babies can be early, late, or shock horror, even be born on their due date, as like my example, I've had all 3 happen.
