Nope. Just gonna wait for the usual detailed scan to tell the gender :)

I've met families locally who have adopted children here. A couple we know adopted both their boys from birth. Their mothers didn't want them at all. Didn't quite seem like it was such a painful process when the woman descrined her experience to me. But it might depend on several factors.

The hair loss usually starts around 3-4mths and can go on for months. I lost half my hair over 6mths for both babies. Not to worry, it grows back. It's just a hormonal response.

Oh, mine is due 13th June too! My third though. And yes, moody, cranky, acne problem. Quite likely to be a girl I think! I was moving house too when I had no.1 so I completely empathise with you. But it's also exhilarating to be doing up the baby 's room!

Lol...didn't know this superstition existed! I'm on to my third pregnancy now, have never had an issue with visiting or carrying other babies when I'm in first tri.

Ya! Think I might do that too when my 3rd one is born next yr. Saves some money :)

I arrange to have calm conversations on this with my hub. Cannot talk about it when I'm exasperated. I explain that everyone is at a different life stage now - work, family/children. Everyone's priorities have changed. Some people choose to invest more time in their children, some want to...

I've travelled from first tri to third tri of 3 of my pregnancies, latest being 30wks, earliest being conception and 10wks. I didn't go hiking or excesdive shopping :) but I did have to manage my own luggage and toddler. If you are confident of your pregnancies/health status and have no...

Hi, I'm sorry for your anxiety and I wish it was more clear cut for you. I just want to say it's not wise to invest in a fetal doppler at this point. The earliest reliable period to hear a heartbeat via the doppler is 12-14mths, so using it now can lead to disappointment. The foetus' heart at...

Darling, please ensure your child is given for adoption THROUGH MSF. You must do it through MSF and this is the best thing that you can do for the baby. MSF will do background checks and follow-ups to ensure your baby is truly well taken care of. Again I say, please....don't do it outside the...

Is the back pain in the lower back rather than upper back? Most pregnant ladies have lower back pain. Upper back pain is not likely to be as a result of heavier breasts.

I recommend just using cotton wool and tap water. Cheap. No worries abt chemicals. Does the job. And because newborn's poop is pretty simple, no need to use any kind of soap to wash too. I started off with pigeon wipes, but then decided that bringing my infants to the tap to wash the bum was...
