Answer 1

I will tell you something that is the most valuable piece on advice i have ever got...Don't listen to other peoples advice on pregnancy or raising your child. You just do or wear whatever you feel comfortable doing or wearing. Your body will tell you when you should stop doing something, like wearing tight clothes. You will get sooooo uncomfortable. That baby is surrounded by shock-proof liquid, your thick uterus and stomach muscles, a layer of fat and rubbery skin. Rubbing your stomach is not going to hurt it. If it took something so little to hurt unborn babies humans would not have lasted long on earth. I have 3 children and i always found a use for my stroller.

Answer 2

They look at my belly and they say it is boy since my belly is round, but Dr told me that it is a girl....

* that's an old wives' tale. Some people say if you're carrying the baby high or low then it's a boy or a girl (depending on the myth)

They tell me I do not have to wear jeen ( it is maternity Jeen )

* wear what you want as long as it's comfortable and not restricting you

They tell me that I do not have to rub my belly it will hurt the baby

* that's rubbish.

They tell me that stroller is not useful after the first 6 months
and ...

* strollers shouldn't be used early on - the baby should be kept as flat as possible. After 3-6 months (depending on which country you are in, the guidelines can vary), you can start sitting the baby up in the stroller. After the first 6 months, a "pram" with a carrycot is fairly redundant as bubs will probably want to sit up and look around - maybe that's what they mean

You will find that you will get lots of "advice" from well meaning friends and relatives. Take it all with a pinch of salt. Guidelines have changed since our mothers had babies so go with the current advice from your doctors instead.

Also, maybe consider joining a parenting forum website. They have been a Godsend for me when I've had "silly" questions :-)

Answer 3

Whoever "THEY" are don't know what they are talking about. I wore maternity jeans through my whole pregnancy and my daughter was born healthy and still is. I loved to rub my belly and talk to my girl when I was carrying her and again, she was born healthy and still is. I kept my girl in her stroller for the first 2 or 3 years of her life so that she could go places with me. Making a little kid walk all over a mall or park or wherever is just not feasible. Get a good stroller that will grow with your child and you will find it handy for several years. I would assume that the doctor has done an ultrasound or something else to determine that your baby is a girl. "THEY" are just using old wives tales that supposedly tell the sex of your baby by the shape of your belly. You are going to make yourself nuts and sick if you don't stop listening to these people. I am not sure why people feel they have to tell pregnant women all these things unsolicited. Get yourself some good books that deal with pregnancy and everything baby and read those and stop listening to these people.

Answer 4

Belly shape and the way you carry, is mostly a wives tale when it comes to determining a baby's gender. I seem to be carrying rather low, belly is quite round and I've got myself a girl.

I still wear pre-pregnancy jeans, along with maternity jeans. Totally depends on the mood I'm in or rather whatever I can find when I need them and heh if they fit anymore.

If rubbing your belly hurts the baby, then mine's been incredibly damaged. Sometimes you just can't help yourself. There's someone in there. Touching is connecting. It isn't harmful.

I've no intentions of getting a stroller, or at least for myself, period. Or at least until the baby is a toddler (near two-ish or even three) and only then, I plan to use it for trips that are too long for a small child to be constantly walking. Otherwise, and up until the child can walk for themselves stable enough, I plan to use a carrier of some sort. I've yet to decide on the type.

None of those comments make any sense. At all. No need for concern.

Answer 5

I had every man and his brother try to tell me what the sex of my baby was, just by how I was carrying it. Many tried telling me I was having a girl, when I was pregnant with my son, and many tried telling me I was having a boy with this pregnancy, when my ultrasound showed I was having a girl. Listen to your doctor or the ultrasound technician.

You can wear jeans during your pregnancy. Maternity jeans or even regular jeans. Whichever feels comfortable for you and doesn't restrict movement.

Rubbing your belly won't hurt the baby. That's just absurd. Your baby is cushioned in all that amniotic sac to protect it.

A stroller is often a parent's best friend! There are many types of strollers and using a stroller should depend on your child's weight, not age. A stroller can be used after 6 months, though the older they get, the harder it may be to keep them in it!

It sounds like people are telling you things that are worrying you needlessly. Don't take stock in these things. Ask your doctor or those that have had a couple of children. Best of luck to you!

Answer 6

If the ultrasound said it was a boy most likely it is a boy.
Rubbing your belly will not hurt the baby, there is so much cushion in between there is no way it could hurt it.
Believe me the stroller is useful for about the first two years if not more.
I don't know what you mean by jeen, are you talking about jean pants, wear them if you want to.

Answer 7

1- People do carry differently with my son yes i was very round but if your doctor told you that you are having a girl then, I think his opinion out weighs other people.
2-I am 33 weeks pregnant and maternity jeans are my best friend they are very comfortable most of them are made from a stretchy material, so if you want to wear maternity jeans that that's fine.
3-As for rubbing your belly their crazy you can not hurt your baby by rubbing your belly, I think it gives the mother more of a bond with her unborn child to rub their belly.(that's my opinion)
4- the stroller please there a life saver especially when you know you will be doing a lot of walking and you are not going to want to carry your baby or even toddler around every where. The stroller comes in handy for longer then 6 months of age my 2 year old still used hers last summer for family outing when I knew she would not be able to walk the entire time, same for Halloween.

Listen to your instincts as well as what the doctor says. Some people just talk to be talking a hope some one listens to them.

Answer 8

No, they do not make sense to me. Only an ultrasound can tell you what the sex of your baby is, other people just guess or follow old wives tales which they believe to be true. (and hey, why not , they have a one in two chance of being right). You can't hurt the baby by rubbing your belly. The stroller is definately useful for about 4 years, and makes life Much easier. Oh yes, and you can wear jeans, or slacks, or sweat pants, whatever fits you and is comfortable is the best choice for you. Relax and remember women have been having babies for centuries....LISTENING to advice is good, but don't try to follow everyone's advice, that will make you nuts. Make your own mind up using common sense. Good luck and congratulations!~

Answer 9

Dont listen to them, try and block it out. Im about sick of what people have to say too, the only person i take seriously is my dr... after all he should know best!! Everyone has their own experiences and their own beliefs but really EVERY pregnancy is different and every belly shape is different. The whole belly shape thing is an old wives tale, of course you can rub your belly, a stroller can come in handy for first 2 years, and maternity jeans can be very comfortable... you may not HAVE to wear them but when it comes to comfort you may prefer it. Enjoy being pregnant experience things for yourself and any concerns take up it up with your dr. BEst wishes and Happy PRegnancy :)

Answer 10

OK Many people have old wives tales about all sorts of things.

so here goes
#1 - They are nuts - wo cares what you wear - aslong as you are comfortable.

#2 - just a myth - if your doc said girl and they were pretty positive, I'd say girl. the chance of them being wrong is greater when they say girl then when they say boy (for obvious reason - if they see a penis they obviously know its a boy, but a lack of penis could mean the baby was in an odd position). But if the doc said girl - i'd definitely go by that.

3. Rubbing your belly will hurt? HA! thats nuts - running my belly was relaxing and it helped to relax the baby when she was going nuts in there...

4. Every person is different but I use my stroller every couple weeks - it all depends on what yuor daily life consists of. I work at home and only use it when i go visiting or shopping.

So just go with your gut and try to ignore these people...people will say the craziest things.. and it doens't stop once the baby comes either - people will be giving you un-solicited advice til the kid is in college :) Just gotta learn to nod, smile, and ignore.

I had a lady today ask me if my daughter was a "good baby" I just responded with "of course, are there any bad ones?" and she just smiled and went on her way :)
