Statistical analyses and large-scale obstetrical studies indicate that male babies tend to gestate slightly longer than female babies, meaning boys are statistically born a few days later on average than girls. While the standard human gestation period averages around 40 weeks for both sexes, research tracking hundreds of thousands of births shows that male pregnancies have a marginally higher tendency to run past their due dates, though every individual baby arrives according to its own unique developmental timeline.
