Any gender predictions?

Posting just for fun as we are planning to find out at our 20 week scan and keep it a surprise for our families. (Although some are already convinced they know what we’re having!) 🤣 I’ve looked into the nub & skull theories but I’m not 100% sure of either.

What does PPA feel like?

I think postpartum anxiety might be creeping in? I’m 4 months PP and I’ve only experienced mild PPR but today I just feel “on edge” or very anxious, a lot of anticipation for nothing.

Sneak peeks!

Has anyone used the early gender tests, pretty sure it’s called sneakpeek and you basically send off some of your blood and they check the chromosomes? Apparently they’re 99% accurate but I want to hear from actual people lol

Hollywood Wax whilst pregnant 13 weeks? Has anyone done it-is it safe?

I need to get rid of this Amazon Forest down there!!! 😂 and Waxing would feel so nice as i’ve done it before!
