    Why do women continue to say their kids' ages in terms of months after they've reached a year old?

    Because when they are that little a few month can make a big difference in their development. A 20-month old can/should do and say more than for example a 16-month old.
    I know for many people who have children that is difficult to understand, but from a child development standpoint each month really counts.

    Hello,
    I have twins and ran till 19 weeks pregnant and chose to walk after that. I still stayed active all through the pregnancy. They were born at 39 weeks. I did not know it was twins till 19 weeks and I had told myself I was only going to gain no more than 30 pounds this pregnancy, that was of course before I knew there were two! Well, I was active and was training for a half marathon in early pregnancy and gained a whopping 12 pounds in the first trimester. I in some weird way I envied those moms who lost weight in the first trimester, I gained weight by looking at food.Ya and then a whole 68 pounds at the end. I had healthy term babies. Be healthy and stay as active as possible. Listen to your body, lots of protein and tons of water.
