Yes indeed, the body is an amazing thing. And one of the most amazing things it does by far is growing an entire human being.

Those women who have gone through being pregnant and giving birth know just how truly amazing their own bodies are. But that also doesn’t mean that pregnancy is a walk in the part.

A lot of women want to prolong getting pregnant for as long as they can simply because they don’t want to put on the extra weight. But it might not be as much as you think it is. Or maybe it’s more since a pregnant woman definitely gains way more weight than the newborn baby will end up being.

Question 17

Question 19

About how many weeks before the doctor can first tell the baby’s gender?

Just letting people know that you’re officially pregnant at the 12 week mark might be exciting enough. But it won’t be before long that people start asking about the baby’s gender. If you want the baby's gender to be a surprise, you may have never bothered to commit this timeframe to memory.
