For example, both of my kids were born right at 37 weeks (#1 19 days before EDD, the other 20 days). #1 was 7lb, #2 was 8lb 7oz. Absolutely uninteresting pregnancies. Both labors were spontaneous, although #1 started with rupture of membranes, where #2 had to be artificially ruptured at 9cm. Both < 6hrs from onset to delivery.

Just idle curiousity...
