Hello All,

My name is Lovely. I am new to the site as well as to motherhood. I am 22 and pregnant! I am so excited as well as afraid. It just seems so weird to have a lil baby growing inside of me, but it never ceases to amaze me. I am from Boston, a true Bostonian, born and raised. My lil bean was my graduation gift from college. Lol... well that's how it seems. I am just happy to have a forum completely dedicated to this.

Baby Gender Predictor

Madame Zaritska's reading

Madame Zaritska, our resident clairvoyant, wants to help you prepare for the arrival of your child. Here she does her best to predict certain aspects of your labor and birth experience.

What she senses for you
The day you deliver, outside will be slightly overcast. Your baby will arrive in the evening.

After a labor lasting approximately 11 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 6 pounds, 4 ounces, and will be 18 inches long. This child will have hazel eyes and be almost bald.

But there is more. I sense that you have thought about labor in the water. You ask yourself, "Why do women find it helpful?" I think you should look here to find out more.
