Weight for it!!!!

[redken1]

Yesterday I was telling a female relative that my cousin’s wife has just given birth to a baby girl. On hearing the good news, what do you think the relative’s 1st question was?

‘What is her name?’ No. ‘Was she fit and healthy?’ No.

She asked me, “How much did she weigh?”

How the bloody hell would I know and in the grand scheme of things what relevance is that to the rest of her life.

Oh ye remember my 1st day at school; ‘How much did you weigh at birth Kenneth?’

1st request to a girl in a nightclub for a dance; ‘Yes would love to dance with you Ken, but how much did you weigh at birth?’

1st job interview; ‘You obviously have the necessary skills for the position Mr Glass, but how much did you weigh at birth?’ ;D

If you had a vagina you might be interested ;D

Seriously though most people understand it to be an important indicator of health not just at birth and in childhood, but in aulthood as well. I'm not in a position to discuss the epidemiological merits of that argument.

I very much hope my post didn’t come across as sexist as was only intended as a light hearted look at the female gender’s apparent obsession with birth weight. :-[

I’m still none the wiser after reading your post.

I do understand the relevance and importance of birth weight in terms of an individual’s medical records and future health care.

But, my question is usually met with, a rolling of the eyes, a shrug of the shoulders, followed by, “Oh! Shut-up you’re a man, what the bloody hell do you know“ ;D

Good advice me thinks – I’ll ‘shut-up.’ Lol :-X ;D

Well done Graeme for dispelling “The best things come in small packages” myth. ;D

Heavy baby = wide load = more PAIN ;D ;D ;D ;D

Made my eyes water when another lady I was in hospital with years ago gave birth to a 12llb baby.

My mum's never forgiven me ;D ;D

Interestingly, the birth weight of each of my children went up each time..... make of that what you will ;D

if it's a case of weight = pain then why ask something easier? A weight is hard to remember...surely "how's mother, baby and fanny?" would be quicker and easier?
