I think age starts at birth. We are not talking about gestational age but actual age. So the boy would still be older.

You are right the age starts to count after the birth in the earth. So the baby boy must be older than the girl.

thank you, Yes the age always start when the child is born.. maybe you all think that this is a silly question.. But if because it happened to me..lolz I have a friend who is one month older of me just because he was born prematurely.. Common...I was born later but I was made earlier.. How can you call him your older brother? I mean If I was born prematurely like him..Maybe I'm his older brother.. You get may point? Its like a robbery.. I'm first in line..But I finish last... So its a little bit a frustration on my part.. Our mother are friends and I'm always force to call him my older brother.. It just and always in my mind of thought..How can you be my older brother..He cheated me..!!!!

That is funny. Well think of all the advantages to being younger, instead of all the downfalls.

Accordingly to our previous discussion (you know what i refeer too) i believe the baby boy would be the oldest, based on how we count age for individuals. It is rarely that people base their age on when they where concieved....

lolzz.. So what do you think? If your a prince at birth and realize that you where cheated of your crown just because your older brother was born prematurely.. Lets say the king has two wives..And the mother of your older brother cheated you by force labor..That's why he was born prematurely..

For example Anna might be the name of woman A and Lucy might be the name of woman B. Anna had her baby girl on 10th April and she had the baby on her due date. Lucy's baby boy was born on 8th April but her due date was really 8th June. Therefore Lucy's baby is two months premature. Anna's baby girl is two days older than Lucy's baby boy. Anna's baby had the whole pregnancy in Anna's womb and Lucy's baby only had 7 months in Lucy's womb. I believe that life begins at conception. However a baby is aged from the date of birth. My toddler son spent his first three weeks in a special care baby unit. It had many premature babies in it. At the entrance it had a notice board with success stories on it. Imagine that Anna's baby girl was 8 pounds but Lucy's baby boy was 6 pounds at birth.

The boy of course. We only say the boy is premature but we see the age as of the day he is born, so called birthday.

We all know that and we all agree with that. Your a week late for that reaction. Please follow the thread of this topic and read so that you can grasp and know where are we at. Thanks.. The present direction of this thread is the right of a firstborn child. I don't want to elaborate it anymore just read the whole thread its much clearer that way. And give me our insights to this..Thanks.

well technically, baby boy is older by 2 days. coz it doesnt matter how long you stayed in your mother's womb to figure out your age. what matter is when were you born. So logically speaking, woman B that gave birth to a baby boy has an older baby.

thank you..I think everybody agree to this and even I.. I think its already a norm that when the child is born your age start.. .......... theirs a light above my head..lolz The age start to at birth because from the time you where born you start to age..lolz...Am I right? or am I right? when you where you where not aging but you are developing.. So logically your age start when you start to age..lolz .......... I'm sorry I have additional information in my upper thread..If its okay with you please read my upper thread..maybe you can add more views or comment into it..thanks

I think technically the one Born Fist since that is what age is calculated from. yet I do think that they both were "alive" before birth so so the One is "actually" alive longer than the one who is technocally Older Tricky tricky

In our community Age will be calculated after birth of the child. So, as baby boy born 2 days before baby girl, so baby boy is 2 days older then baby girl.

I'm sorry I don't quite explain the whole thing..Can you read my upper thread..I have explain it their...Just for additional question.. What if I have a twin.. and I'm a royal blood.. I'm suppose to be the eldest and be a king.. But just because my twin brother was born prematurely. He became a king... Is it not cheating? Am I not cheated with my crown? Get my point? Why it is always at birth?
