I swear, this letter writing could be a full-time job! I think I will tell the Wash Post that 40 wks is the gold standard for a pregnancy to last in almost every single case. Should we be advocating ending the preg. sooner because some moms cannot gestate the baby this long? I guess we should accept that some babies just want to come out early at 26 wks, eh?
