okay .. i think i have to give you more information on this graph...
First of all it has to be based on chinese calendar..So depending the mth you are born, you need to add either 1/2yrs to your english age.
Then, according to the date you are conceived.. you need to check if fall in the 5th mth / 6th mth of the chinese calender.. Those born in Jan/Feb normally has to add 2 yrs.
e.g. if my ttc is on 7 july 08.. then it falls in the 5th mth.. and if ttc on 20 july 08.. then it will falls in the 6th mth.. So you need to be aware of this..
For more information, like some explaination on the graph and clinical test carried out to check the accuracy.. you can see this one..

Yes mine is natural, but I was trying for boy and used some of Shettles method . In fact all prediction tests I've taken have told me girl. However these tests are like horoscopes, there will be exceptions. It would be very strange if the entire country's population of pregnant 30+ yr old women bears only one gender for the whole month LOL

Stephanie,
You mentioned that there could be 20+20% discount for Robinsons/JL for the pump? That's almost a 40% discount!
calamari,
Think no hurry to get those baby stuff. I plan to save up first then get those things nearer the date. Some of the items come with warranty so the earlier you buy, the earlier the warranty timer will start ticking. There's going to be a bb fair at Taka in Mar. Right now, I spend mostly on maternity wear as I'm finding myself having nothing to wear for work.
Jgal,
The chart I got to know is the same as labour of love website. It is accurate for a friend of mine, but not accurate for another friend. I was asking in my earlier post the same thing, whether the gender prediction came true for those who already know the gender!
Ladies,
Btw, better check what you're using when you do manicure. Found out that one of the base coats given by a local salon (it has several branches) contains formaldehyde. This is one of the 3 ingredients declared not safe.

cheesy, the nurse was telling me she has seen pregnant mums vomits all the way till delivered! Wah! I nearly faint!
Actually I also won't be buying baby stuff so early. Reason being that just in case anything happens *touch wood*, it will be very sad to see all these things lying around. I think quite a few of my friends who were pregnant before also felt the same way, so they did not buy anything until the 3rd trimester.
Also, even tho my plan is to breast feed, but doesn't mean i definitely will be able to, cos depends a lot on my body, some of my friends who were determined to breast feed had problems with their milk supply, so no choice. So i guess i will hold off buying the expensive pumps.
Now spending more on maternity clothes, cos can't fit into my bottoms anymore, and most of my tops are pretty tight fitting. Went to the spring maternity sale on sunday and got a pretty top and three quarter pants. Bought some flat shoes over the weekend too.

hi sputnik
great, thanks. you must have been to the sale too, was it a big haul?
i hv same mindset as you, i didn't buy any baby stuff and in fact shared baby news only recently, because of "just in case" . the range of things that need to be bought for baby is mindboggling! it's difficult to change the mindset of spending on baby now, i'm still itching to buy makeup and beauty products for myself LOL.

now your bb is still small so there's still room for bb to move ard your tummy. as they grow bigger, due to smaller space, the kick will be more obvious & frequent. by then your hubby will definitely be able to feel it. sometimes u can even see their arms or legs moving. very amazing!!

joelle, the Spring Maternity sale is not storewide, only for clothes displayed at the atrium outside the shop. Thik the sale is until this weekend or something. I actually tried on quite a few tops and bottoms but only managed to get 1 top and 1 bottom, cos i'm pretty small size so most of the clothes are too big. Don't really like the designs of most of the tops on display tho.
Actually, i thik for tops, no need to get from maternity shops, cos i find the price is so high once it is a 'maternity top'. But for bottoms, no choice, so i just bought 2 basic black pants, 1 black skirt for work, and 1 casual pants.

It's so difficult isn't it! Everytime I feel like buying makeup I think "this $100 can buy breastpump / contribute to babycot etc... " waah very tong ku. T__T
Sputnik
Oooh. Guess I shouldn't have high expectations then. I had hoped to find the denim skirt on sale there.
Cheesycake
Yes I get discharge too, but it's just uncomfortable for me. Did you have spotting before, is that why you are worried?

Talking abt spending money, spent a big bomb at TMC last monday, abt $1400, on antenatal class, gynae package, oscar test, FBI card... heart pain....
just to share, i bought a top from pepper plus at wisma on sat, having sale now, cost only $15. Some tops are suitable for preggy as they are quite long and baggy at the stomach area.
