Interesting Facts

True or false, I find these interesting...

* During pregnancy, a woman's uterus expands to five hundred times it's normal size.

* Some people drink the urine of pregnant women to build their immune system. (Ewww...)

* Babies born in May are, on average, 200 grams heavier than babies born in other months. 

* Up until about the fourth month, amniotic fluid is produced by the placenta.  After the fourth month, the babies kidneys start working and amniotic fluid is made by their waste.  (Our little ones are basically swimming in pee!)

* Whether your baby is a righty or a lefty is determined at approximately 10 weeks gestation.
