anyone else know someone who's had a baby over the past week

Mid twenties to around 30.

I don't see how I have been singled out when I agree. I was just asking because I was curious :confused:

Around 'that age' + this unusual thing might make it stand out more to you than to other people in this thread who are maybe older/younger.

no you weren't you (like a few others) jumped the bandwagon without actually reading the thread

There does seem to be a "baby-boom".

Maybe recession has anything to do with it. Miserable times = more sex?

Unedited and all that way before asking how old you are.

I got 3 cousins and an uncle that are having/had children this year. I think it's interesting.

Like there was a town in Germany I think some years back that experieced a baby-boom 9 months after there had been a lot of power troubles in the winter. They guess that not having any electricity and it being cold made people heat things up themselves :)

Not in the same week though which is the point of the thread.

But there does seem to be a lot of people that are having children at the moment. I also had 3 friends that had children late last year.

Am I not allowed to discuss this because the births didn't happen within a week?

Are you trying to argue just for the sake of it? I don't get it :confused:

What happened around your area 9 months ago? Was it hit with bad weather in early spring (I'm sure some areas were)?

Because that was the point of the OP and everybody was taking the pee out of him as though knowing 4 people having a baby in the same week is normal - which it isn't.
There are 5 women in my office who are having a baby within the next 6 months (the latest one announced it on Friday) and 3 have just come back from having babies (but they didn't have them in the same week).
 
Are all of these 4 people friends of each other? Maybe they decided to try for children at the same time :o

I just don't see how I'm singled out when I agree on it and I'm asking out of interest? Just because this is OcUk don't assume that everyone has the same 'smash pasty' mentality please.

I didn't take the **** out of him at all...

alright fair enough. the other posters of the **** taking nature obviously find it quite normal to have 4 people they know become parents within a week.

Maybe they were all impregnated by aliens due to the fact the mothers knew you and the aliens wanted to get a grasp of this higher intellect?

Or maybe it's just a coincidence that a few of your mates shagged at around the same time.
 
A friend of ours was originally due within a week of us (September last year), but the unfortunate happened. :(

Beyond that, two people I knew were in Maternity at the same time as us, and according to the Midwives, it was a quiet period. Which leads me to believe that these things are nothing but coincidence :)

And tearing is preferred to being cut, mental!

it heals faster and more cleanly, leaving less of a scar and less chance of future pain/complications and infection :)

frankly, compared to the rest of the pain during childbirth, the tearing probably doesn't make much difference.
