So these babies would be born AFTER the patriot day.

That is full gestation for humans, it's true, but a lot of women do not make it to the 40th week. I think the average is week 38, but I could be wrong.

[Sojourner]

"The unborn baby spends around 38 weeks in the uterus (womb), but the average length of pregnancy, or gestation, is calculated as 40 weeks. This is because pregnancy is counted from the first day of the woman’s last period, not the date of conception which generally occurs two weeks later. Since some women are unsure of the date of their last menstruation (perhaps due to period irregularities), a pregnancy is considered full-term if birth falls between 37 to 42 weeks of the estimated due date.

A baby born prior to week 37 is considered premature, while a baby that still hasn’t been born by week 42 is said to be overdue. In many cases, labour will be induced in the case of an overdue baby."

I always love how you're "pregnant" two weeks before you are.

I know, I never got the whole math part of it. lol It never quite made sense to me, especially when you know your conception date (and they never believe you the first time you tell them that you know for sure, you have to insist 20 times before they realize you really KNOW!).

My wife and I won some prises -- 8 of 'em.
And it's a fun little game we play, too... and it's for married people. And it gets challenging after winning a few times. It goes into the "are the kids awake?" round.
