((B.C. Forest Service)) Canada's forest fire season usually starts as early as April, with grass fires that scorch the landscape. Then the season moves into high gear with the first round of forest fires in May and June, with more to come in the dry summer months. By the time it's all over in September, an average of 25,000 square kilometres â an area the size of Lake Erie â will have burned in roughly 10,000 fires across the country.
Following that party of fertility fun, our doctor suggested we do a round of IUI (for the newcomers, IUI is what is commonly referred to as turkey basting) and boom, pregnant at 42. Dreams really do come true. I'm just going to come right out and say it: I'm too old for this new career. I hate to say it, but I realize whether Mother Nature might have been trying to help us when she decided, centuries ago, that most of our eggies would have use-by date once they'd been on the shelf around 33 years. I so get this now.
Near the end of your pregnancy you may be uncomfortable or anxious to see your baby. But remember -- you want to be sure you deliver a full term baby if possible. How long is full term? Pregnancy lasts for about 280 days or 40 weeks. A preterm or premature baby is delivered before 37 weeks of your pregnancy. 1  Extremely preterm infants are born 23 through 28 weeks. 2  Moderately preterm infants are born between 29 and 33 weeks. 3  Late preterm infants are born between 34 and 37 weeks.
