As the first person put very well... if you are Democratic then the baby isn't even alive until the entire body is out of the stomach and the umbilical cord is severed... how else can you, after all, justify abortion? yeahh....
According to today's standards, however, in general, whether you are a Democrat or Republican, the baby's d.o.b. (date of birth) is the official time that you start counting the age... so while the baby may indeed already be nine months old... you never know EXACTLY when the child was conceived, and so the d.o.b. is the most accurate measurement, and the baby's age is therefore starting the birth, not the conceivement.

How many people could be sure of the day the baby was conceived? So a lot of kids would have a 'I was concieved somewhere around now day' instead of a definite date. A birthday is a more obvious 'event' in the life of the child.
Personally I know I couldn't be sure - we were having a lot of fun making her so it would be hard to pin down the exact date. More so as my periods are irregular and the docs cldn't deal with that and told me she was weeks older than she was until the first scan...

It takes time for the baby to develop so only certain parts of the child would be 9 months old. We celebrate the day the baby is all done.

A woman may not know for sure which exact day the child was conceived, but I would imagine she remembers the birth. Besides, it's called a birthday, not a conception day...

hmm.. that's interesting. I wonder sometimes w/ babies that are really premature - like born months early - do they developmentally hit the milestones at the same age as other babies. for example if a baby is born 3 months early, at 5 months of age is she developmentally where a 2 month old baby born on time is - physically and mentally? If that's the case, it is hard to measure milestones by when a baby is born and more accurate to look at when they were conceived... Discuss... :)

I have to agree with one of the other answers.... it is called BIRTHday, not CONCIEVEDday. plus, not all babies stay in for all 9 months- so does that make a baby that didn't stay in for 9 months permanently younger than a child that did stay in for 9 months but born on the same day and time? think about it.

i'm curious as to why he grew to become into no longer in trouble-free terms categorized Autistic. provided that that's a spectrum affliction and would variety from severe to trouble-free, it form of feels that it may ultimate describe your brother. generally the IEP group concurs upon the label that's the main widespread reason for academic problems. whether, an IQ score below 70 is intellectually disabled. A score of sixty 9 would be trouble-free. In my state the speech-language postpone would be a proper service, no longer a accepted service via fact there's a incapacity that has greater effect on his getting to grasp. each pupil is entitled to sensible differentiation interior the college room. whether, the curriculum does no longer be changed provided that each pupil is envisioned to bypass state attempting out in step with NCLB (No infant Left at the back of). So if a changed curriculum grew to become into the point, then i think it incredibly is the reason the IEP group went with Mentally Handicapped extremely than Autistic. Then they'd use the state attempting out better to fulfill NCLB for intellectually disabled scholars.

That would be great,but we have decided that the day we celebrate is the day that they arrived into the world. Often the date of conception is too hard to determine. If you want to celebrate both that is up to your family, but the rest of the world will only acknowledge his date of birth or the date that he was born out of you.

No, because the day that someone is born is the day that someone becomes a person hence birthday. Besides, it's unlikely you'd be able to figure out the exact date of conception.
