Today, and for the past 38 weeks of my pregnancy, my husband decided to amuse himself by following me around, making whale noises. FML

Well if he wants to call you big start calling him small. That would shut him up.

Just as long as he doesn't have extreme short-term memory loss. Also, you might want to name your child Nemo. It's for the best.

why the **** does everyone talk about pregnancy and babies in weeks......?! just say 8 months.

My guess would be that it's easier to keep track of during pregnancy. Or because there's probably a huge difference in the fetus's development between the beginning of a month and the ending, so it'd be more accurate to speak in terms of weeks when going to check ups and things. And I assume OP has just gotten into the habit of using weeks rather than months. For babies that are already born, I have no idea. I really don't get when parents refer to their babies as being eighteen months or something.

because in pregnancy the difference from one week to the ne,t is huge.

Now that I think about it, it's probably the same for babies that have been born already, too. Huge changes in developments and all that.

The change in babies between 13 months and 23 months is HUGE, even though is is all technically a one year old. Generally it is accepted as normal to refer to how many weeks old for the first 6 months. Then refer in months for the first 2 years. After their second birthday, most everyone just uses years.

Also, because that's how our doctors talk to us about our pregnancy. If they constantly said "Okay, see you at 8 months!" and stuff like that, we'd probably be more likely to talk in months as well. As someone mentioned, the fetal development at 35 weeks and 38 weeks is different, even though both are technically month 8. If you go into labor at 35 weeks, its cause for concern, but 38 weeks is full term.

93 was talking to you. If your pregnant wife/girlfriend wants something random at three in the morning, you drag your ass out of bed and go get it, no questions asked!

Tell him to keep practicing, some day after the whales are extinct, we may need him to make those noises to keep a space probe from destroying the Earth.

He'll probably make cow noises every time you breast feed.

#105 - if you ever get someone pregnant and they have cravings, i feel sorry for them having to put up with your selfishness.

This is when you slap him until he cries, then follow him around for the next 18 years making fake crying sounds.

Op won't make it to 18 yrs with him if she does that.

Geez, if you ever get a girl pregnant, I feel sorry for her. Don't forget she's the one carrying YOUR child, and it can be an incredible ordeal. You should do anything you can to make it easier on her, no matter how tired you are. Speaking of which, waking up in the middle of the night for her is good practice, because as a parent, you'd do it every night for the first few years, regardless of whether or not you had work in the morning!

Keep tabs of how many whale noises he makes and make him take a day with the kid or go pick it up when it cries at night for each time he made a noise. Tell him this after you have at least 20 saved up.

Maybe asshole is unaware that it's not recommended for women that far along to drive unnecessarily. Airbags deploying is extremely dangerous and if she goes into labor while driving she can get into an accident(even typical pregnancy hassles like Braxton-Hicks, sciatic nerve pain, and numbing of the legs puts pregnant women at higher risk of accidents.) If she's willing to carry a child for you, then you should count yourself incredibly lucky considering your douchery.
