I was reading some pregnancy book and found the following statistic:
“You are almost 100% likely to have your baby by the time you are 42 weeks pregnant”
Ok. You guys. Just. I mean. We live in a SOCIETY, right? With LOGIC and REASON, yes?
No doctor in North America is likely to let you go past 42 weeks pregnant. You will almost CERTAINLY be induced by 41w5d if you are receiving standard pre-natal care in North America. That is just is how THEY DO.
So NO KIDDING you’re 100% likely to have your baby by 42 weeks. THEY WON’T LET YOU NOT. This is not proper application of statistics, in fact, this is why people HATE statistics, because when you abuse LOGIC AND REASON like this, you end up with MEANINGLESS CONCLUSIONS. You can’t just mess with numbers like that and SAY stuff. God. Telling someone they will have their baby by 42 weeks is a completely and utterly meaningless data point, and does nothing to help someone understand, in an informed fashion, when her baby will actually arrive. So, in conclusion, shut up.

For the record, if you can hold out to about 43 weeks the basement will be all finished, including the A/V stuff and the couch delivery. Then we can REALLY focus on the baby stuff. Just sayin’…
this whole thing made me laugh, but especially the title.
I also hate how newscasters always say that 90% of shark attacks happen 1 mile of the coast. No shit newscasters. Hmm, i wonder where all the people are?
What about all those ladies complaining about how they are 10 months pregnant. HUH LIZ?! WHAT ABOUT THEM?!
Elsha, Fit Pregnancy sent me a “Happy 28 weeks/8 Months of pregnancy!” email and I damn near lost my mind
Your husband might have a point. Something to consider. YAY NEW COUCH!
K, you have NO idea how happy you just made my husband. None.
True story: I asked Mike which would be more annoying for him: construction with a newborn or a way overdue complaining wife, and he replied “It’s ok, I have earplugs”. Which I asked “earplugs for construction?” he goes “No, for the wife”
Dude. We totally need pictures! Do NOT forget to take pictures when contractions start at home (or the day you’re being induced)! Embrace that belly! (and share) 🙂
