mis-read again!!!

All the best for Anji - it is a very strange feeling having someones hands inside your tummy (apologies to anyone who had just eaten!!!)

djfierce · 22 Aug 2008, 11:10

you got that right

never experienced anything like that before

heck....i've never had ANY operation before.

At least i can be more relaxed this time knowing what to expect.

Everything is going to be ok...and although it's a surgery, there is still some comfort in knowing when exactly baby is coming.

I am still trying to figure out where 8 Lbs.13oz Casey fitted in...

That is what I am wondering about too

But: is there anyone on here, who can give me a little idea on the lbs.os thing comparing to kg to give me a chance too to join in here

Good to hear you are allowed to work from home for a while after the birth, Michael! ....assuming you actually are going to make it to do some of that kind of work though....

It is hon... It's not a straightforward conversion RJ!

samurai7 · 24 Aug 2008, 03:32

1kg = 2.2lb

**RadioMaster** · 24 Aug 2008, 09:57

I'm 99% sure it's different here...

2 pounds are 1 kg where I come from, and it's always been that way

I'll take that 1%

"2lbs = 1kg" is just a shortcut for those who can't mentally multiply or divide by 2.2*

Dave

* yes I know it's not exactly 2.2 either

**RadioMaster** · 24 Aug 2008, 12:46

Just checked Wikipedia:
it is true that the german and the briish pound have two differnt weights. The german one is exactly half a kg, although it's not an official unit of mass, while it is an official one, with a different weight, in other countries. Here it's only used colloquially (sp?). You order a pound of meat for example.

Ah, I see. Varies in the UK too. For example, if you order a pound of meat in Chorley you get 220lbs of lard instead.

Same here, RJ. Hence my question for a ''converter'' and Zina, the .454 kg = 1 pound is a number that rings a bell.

Who from the past can we blame for this
