You’re Only Saying That Because It Isn’t You
This woman’s ex thought women were pregnant for 12 months. I wonder if this strange misconception had anything to do with the fact that Jackie Chan once claimed he was born three months overdue, spending 12 months in his mother’s womb? Or maybe it has to do with a story that was once aired on ABC News that claimed that American women should reframe the duration of pregnancy and not think of it as 9 months but as 12 months.
The point of this story was that women who are planning a pregnancy should begin preparing for it at least three months before actively trying to conceive. Anyway, a 12-month pregnancy is almost as long as the walrus’s gestation period which is 15 months! But it’s still way less than elephants, who are pregnant for 22 months! So in comparison, human women don’t have it quite as bad.
