Length of pregnancy . . . Are they pulling my leg?

Re: Length of pregnancy . . . Are they pulling my leg?

At the other end of the spectrum, there is also the extended pregnancy. Do you recall Patience Pargiter (nee Atkins)? Her husband, Endevor, was a sailor on a cargo ship between Japan and Australia for a year. Imagine his surprise he arrived home, and found that 2 days earlier young Patience gave birth to a fine son, who had taken those 12 months to hatch.

SIX DAYS? Wow! Who knew the Lord could make a baby so fast! He truly is amazing!

I have heard big boned ladies have shorter pregnancies Pastor. To give you an idea last fall Brother Ray's daughter Baylee dropped one right in Sunday service and let me tell you young Sister Baylee is so big boned she is a "double" on a pew rentals. We figured she must have gotten knocked up by that Mexican boy only six days before (hope Hernado enjoys his stay for rape in State prison). Well at lest Baylee found this nice boy named Clint to marry her and over look the child's conception and adopted the kid as his own.

wrong section, sorry.

Brothers -

I'm no expert on female parts, being a bachelor and all. However, I like to think I'm familiar with the basics, like how it takes 9 months from conception to birth.

Well, I've wed three couples in the past year and a half who all had their first babies prematurely. One had their firstborn boy 6 months after the wedding, one 5 months, and the most recent -- a big-boned bride, let me tell you -- only 6 WEEKS after the ceremony!

Some of the ladies in my congregation have told me, "The first one can come pretty much any time. AFTER that one, they always take nine months."

Is this true? Does the first baby develop faster, because it's so eager to get out into the world and spread the Love of Jesus?
