Math Question About Age

[catjac1975]

yes, they say 9 months, but its 40 weeks.

I can remember my nurse sister telling me near the end of my first pregnancy that it took closer to 10 months rather than 9...

Hmmm, all but one of our kids and grandkids were born up to 2 weeks early . Only one was born on predicted due date. Averages of the masses , I guess !!!

One of ours was three weeks late and 10-1/2 pounds, natural birth. No C-section. The other two were right at 8 pounds and pretty much on time.

Oh I feel for your daughter/in law with a 10 pounder Ridge!
My dad was 13 pounds at birth and there were no more kids after him. I don't know the actual reason for that since everyone else on that side of the family had huge families, but I think if I delivered a 13 pounder I'd retire too.

DHs aunt delivered twin boys that were over 8lbs. each. Ay yi yi....

#1 son was almost three weeks past due date. Thank goodness he was only 9#2 oz

That was not a daughter-in-law, it was my wife. She had the courage to have another one after that.

Daughter-in-law is aware of that story. She is due with her second the first of February and has had discussions with her doctor about that.

Babies no longer go past due date, Dr very quick to do a c section.

At the time I had my son, another new mother was expressing her surprise with her 12 lb baby, but mentioned she'd heard someone else had one at 13 lb 2 oz. That was my beloved DS!

Not a problem. I once had an old European doctor tell me I wasn't like "American women" and I'd have no problem with deliveries. He was right!

Red what did you name this 13 02oz bundle of pain

Since this is age humor, I decided to risk putting it here, right ... or, wrong.

Celia Bullwinkel ... says: “Many find ageing to be not funny, which was an obstacle. I love old slapstick cartoons, so my approach was to exaggerate the follies of growing older, without having it be mean-spirited." Yeah!

who has learned that Americans and Canadians spell if "aging" but the British and others use "ageing." (link) live, learn, and tolerate ...
