My profile

Hi, i'm 28 years old, soon to be 29 in Aug this is my first baby, my partners 3rd. Me and my partner made the decision to move in together at the begining of the year, but couldn't actually do it until the end of March (he needed to get his driving licence back long story) As of the 1st of April it was offical that we we're living together, then surprise surprise on the 9th April, the line went pink, I was in total shock fully expecting it to be negative and that my body was playing tricks on me, everytime I told someone I kept expecting them to say no your not it was a false postive, but almost 6 months down the line we're still here and very much looking forward to our baby boy arriving. He'll be a nice 2 year aniversary present for us both.

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 cloudy. Your baby will arrive in the evening.

After a labor lasting approximately 22 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 6 pounds, 4 ounces, and will be 17 inches long. This child will have hazel eyes and a little patch of brown hair.
