Nothin' doin.

Well, the due date has come and gone and...Abigail is still cozy and warm in my belly. At my last appointment, Annie (midwife) said that 75% of babies are born after their due date (4% on, and 21% before). Does this make sense? What is a due date other than a statistical measure of the human gestation? Shouldn't Nagel's rule be changed to make it 48% before, 4% on, and 48% after? =) Not that I'm bitter or anything....

I think they should add 10 days to the current due date calculation. That way 100% of pregnant women would FEEL like they were delivering early.
