Pregnancy and baby DOB coincidences

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

I have once sold a maternity dress via EBay to a buyer who emailed me to say the dress – although new- had a small tear, never the less, she left me positive feedback. This prompted me to reply and we have kept in touch. We were both pregnant at the time, both expecting a baby (one in Sept and the other one in Oct). We found out that we were both born on the 22nd day of a different month, our lucky number was 22, and we both ending up giving birth on our husband’s birthdays in the end (in Sept and in Oct) despite the fact that our babies' due date was not the one we had given birth in. We both hate make up and perfume. Although we never met, we are in regular contact and are good friends.
