Honestly, whether it is a boy or a girl, the hospital bills, diapers, and vaccinations cost the exact same! There is no real way to plan for a specific gender, so just plan your finances and health for a smooth pregnancy.

I don't know the exact medical checks, but in my own 36-week visit, my doctor just did a quick scan to make sure baby's head was down. She also felt my stomach and we discussed what to pack in the hospital bag.

Oh yaar, I had major seafood cravings and actually asked my gynac about crab! She said it's totally fine but strictly told me to avoid street-side places. Just eat well-cooked crab from a clean place and you are good to go.

Wait for exactly 14 days before testing. Testing early will just waste your money and give you unnecessary stress because of the residual hCG from the trigger injection. Stay busy with work to pass the time.

I totally get how we can overthink every little thing and worry about things we read online! But don't worry, biologically this cannot cause pregnancy at all because the stomach has nothing to do with the uterus. Rest your mind, you are completely safe.
