Its not that I really give a fuck, I dunno 99.99 percent of woman love babies,so it's not unusual for ladies to get a chuffed at the birth of a baby.There will be thousands of babies born this year and a lot of happy mothers so one very priveledge mothers is tiny in the scheme of things

Ummm... doesn't that just mean that the due date calculation is wrong?75% of babies are born after their due date
Indeed it does! It doesn't take into account different lengths of gestation for different ethnic groups or for first and subsequent babies. Some doctor 200 years ago decided on 266 days from conception and that has stuck as an easy calculation for medical staff. The average length of a first pregnancy in a caucasian woman is actually 8 days longer than that.I've just heard on LBC that

Now if I don't get my fix of angry taxi drivers shouting about immigration I get the shakes.
Any alternative suggestions gratefully received.
Babies can only come one or two weeks late, but can come months early, so that distorts the 'average'.sounds like bollocks, as birth date appears to be normally distributed around the due date.
Average for a first baby is 8 days "late". And as Santino says, once you get to 10 days hospitals start hassling you for an induction anyway.sounds like bollocks, as birth date appears to be normally distributed around the due date.
