[quote=Anonymous]Oof. I don't need to pile on the commentary since you got a lot of feedback already, but here are some facts to consider. While there is a difference in average duration of a 1st versus subsequent pregnancy, it's only about 2 days. Furthermore, 1st pregnancy duration distribution is more spread out, meaning they are both more likely to be past 40 weeks AND more likely to be before 37 weeks.

Secondly, your nanny probably had an optimistic first-time mom view of pregnancy and assumed she could work until birth. But the last 1-2 months, the fetus grows really fast in terms of sheer bulk, close to half a pound a week. She likely didn't know how uncomfortable it would get.

It's great for you that you carried twins to 39 weeks. However, many twin pregnancies get induced at 38 weeks, so you're not necessarily the typical case. Just as one employee being healthy enough to work 80-hour-weeks does not negate the existence or validity of another employee being sick and needing to take medical leave.[/quote]
