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?
