The one thing I want you to know that I wish I knew about pregnancy/babies is to not pay too much attention to milestones and averages and standards. There is no such thing as a standard pregnancy or standard baby. In my experience other mothers often know more and have better answers then doctors who must adhere to strict fantastical guidelines.

Very true!! Great advice! !

I was fortunate to find a female doctor..

newly immigrated young mother who recently moved here from Dubai. ..her approach is very different from my first doctor. ..
Being an anxious person I've had moments of panic..both times I showed up sans appointment. .she made a point to listen and comfort me right away...it was just an upset tummy but unlike most doctors she took the time I needed to be reassured. Every time I ask her if something happening is normal she gives me that look...lol as she says " if I fry 2 eggs will they cook & look identical ?"

5 more weeks until we get to peek at babies junk...I want a girl but I'm convinced it's a boy...we did some gender tests we found online and all but 1 point to boy.. (but I question accuracy ) Chinese calendar says girl. ..lol did ur wife try any ?? Most women I've asked say they are accurate. ..lol and most say they knew from early on...

My wife and doctor both guessed correctly. My wife had a "feeling" and the doctor guessed on the old wive's tale of bpm. It's that whole thing, boy/girl as long as ot's healthy, that's all that truly matters.

Ya I know that I've done a ton of reading definitely no standard anything
i took a year of child developmental psychology in school so im actually a lot more prepared than i thought at least in terms of certain things

My doctor rocks she's pretty legit she listens to everything I say and gives options

There's a trick that's taught to Ob/Gyns. You tell the patient one sex and you write the opposite in the chart on the date you gave them the guess, voila you are right either way. Man I would so get kicked outta the union for this shit LOL.
