Nigel,

 NR> My wife also went 41 weeks. We went to the birthing center at about 8pm
 NR> and he popped out at 3:25 the next morning. It was pretty painless
 NR> (well, for me anyway) lol.

  That reminds me of a joke...hopefully, folks will see the humor in it. :)

  This man takes is expectant wife, in labor, into the hospital. The OB/GYN
tells them "We have a new treatment to transfer all the pain from childbirth
from the mother to the father". Momma was eager for that, and Dad (who had a
high pain tolerance) figured "why not??".

  So, they wire both up for sound , and the doctor keeps adjusting the
settings, until their maxed out. Neither Momma or Dad had any pain, and
she delivered a healthy baby boy.

  However, when they got home...the milkman was found dead on the porch.

... If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.
