So my brother in law must be a ghost or something since he was born at 10 months.

I love the (rare) stories of verifiable pregnancies that go past 10 months. Dr Bradley (of the Husband Coached Childbirth books) reports a 12 month pregnancy in his book, mother under his close supervision from conception through delivery so wasn’t a false timing thing either.

Yes, don’t tell the Netherlands about this one! Since they know that normal gestation is 38 to 42 weeks, and “overdue” doesn’t even begin until after 42 weeks, they have perfectly normal babies, at home, and no one bats an eyelash about 42 weeks. What a Difference An Ocean Makes!

Ayup there’s a little bit of C4 hooked up to a timer on your umbilical cord. At 42 weeks and 1 minute … BLAMMO!

I think my 7-month-old daughter might take issue with this. She was born at 43 weeks.

Wow. So my healthy 12 year old and 8 year old were…..at deaths door when born at 43 weeks? Humm. I guess I missed that with the 10-10 APGARS and all.
