Re: Gender
Actually from about 11-12 weeks, gender can already be told. However, easy for mistakes so unless very sure, gynae or sonographer also wont want to say. The other reason for keeping "secret" till later is to prevent pple from aborting if its not the gender of choice. So some gynae wont tell until its after the "abortable" period.

No worries. These socks are very common in BPs. They also have those longer leggings ones for older girls - like ballet shoes with the string images all the way up. Really pretty.
Yvonne:
Even though you can feel BB's movement now, I realised that hubs usually cannot feel till much later on. Maybe coz the movements are from inside. But next time when you can see a leg or hand sticking out, they can feel.

No need full blader. After about 6-8 weeks, you do not need full bladder for scans already. That is only necessary in early pregnancy. Drinking water, peeing, coughing, sneezing all these tend to make the baby shift. But best I realised is if you talk to baby nicely the night before and ask baby to cooperate.
Yes KK has lactation consultants. Some very good ones. You can request for 1 when you are in the ward if your gynae did not arrange for any to see you. After you deliver, you can also call the KK mainline and ask for a lactation consultant to call you back. When they do, you can ask for an appointment to see them. Or if you just have questions to ask, you can also ask them over the phone.
