The expectant mothers who work with me have always tried to schedule their deliveries based on amount of time they had on the books. In other words, now days women can not afford to go 6 weeks with no paycheck so they try to work as long as possible to generate more vacation/sick time and then the minute their maternity leave starts, they want to have the baby thus giving them more time with the actual child rather than time off waiting for the birth.

Even though I can understand the financial sides of 'choosing' the day and almost the exact time you want your child to be born, it takes away some of the joy of letting nature takes its course or it would for me anyway.
