Babies come when they are ready, normally between 37-42 weeks gestation. They only give 40 weeks as a due date because it is a rough average between 37 & 42. Most women are not satisfied with being told that "your baby could come in January or February," they want a date to look forward to.
At least this bloke wasn't totally incommunicado and got the message. I feel sorry for the poor beggars who work abroad when their other half goes into labour prematurely........they nearly always miss it.
