Pregnant? Have You Used the Chinese Calendar? Maternity Clothes?

My husband is Korean too and we did not use the Korean / Chinese calendar to determine the sex with our 3rd child. My MIL knew I was expecting before we told her because my youngest was playing with a laundry basket pulled over him, like a cage. And she told me that I was or would be soon having another baby..What? How did she know? She was right. I did however use a free on-line ovulation/when to conceive calendar and based on their timing it told me I was likely to have a girl. And we did.

And it's normal to get bigger with subsequent pregnancies. You become more lax and stretched out each time and your body doesn't hold it all in like it used. After pregnancy, gravity starts to attack your breasts and other parts....

Enjoy parenting. Love each moment!! Do your kids LOVE Korean food like mine?

Maternity clothes, I can offer a few ideas, second hand stores that sell maternity. Gap and old Navy, sales in other stores with a larger size, craigs list and ebay. Congrats!

The Chinese Calendar said I was having a boy, but I had a girl. It's got a 50% chance of being right, but then again, so does a coin toss. :-)
I LOVED Old Navy/Gap for maternity clothes. If you check out the clearance section online and in the stores, you can get GREAT deals like $1 for tees. Congratulations and good luck!

I did not use chinese calendar with my 2 boys, now I am preg with our third, it says it will be a girl, but I am sure it's a boy. Also I do not think it matters if you have a girl or a boy how soon you show. I did not show till 6 months with my first boy, 4 months with my second and now at 14 weeks already showing. As for maternity clothes...EBAY:)
congrats

What does being Korean have to do with the Chinese culture? From what I know, they are totally seperate. Those are two totally seperate cultures.
Good Luck and Congratulations on your baby.

The Chinese calendar was right for me, even though everyone said I was having a boy, and I thought I was too based on ovulation time etc, but we had a girl. I bought most of my maternity clothes at resale shops (goodwill, once upon a child, etc) but it takes some hunting to find stores that have them separated well. I also bought some on ebay. Try craigslist too.

Chinese gender chart is not right for me - ever. 50/50 shot and it manages to be wrong. We're expecting #4.. so we shall see.

Kohls has cheap maternity clothes made by Motherhood (but WAY less). I like them for maternity. My friend loved Old Navy maternity clothes.

The Chinese Lunar Calendar was right with all 3 of my kiddos! Girl, Boy, Boy! The Intelligender was WRONG (only used it on my 3rd) Remember to add nine months to your age when using the Chinese Lunar Calendar.

The chinese calendar was right with my first son. I don't know about the second child, as I don't find out the sex until Tuesday. I kind of laugh at it now though.... the chinese calendar goes according to the mom's age and month of conception, which has NOTHING to do with the sex of the baby. It's all determined by the dad : ) So I don't really trust it anyway.

On another side, a friend of mine tried the "string test" where you tie a paperclip, etc to a string/hair and let it dangle over your wrist and depending on how it swings it tells you what you are having. I figure that one has a better chance of being more accurate : )

So, according to the chinese calendar, my second child will be a boy. But, according to the string test, it's a girl. I guess I will find out Tuesday!

Good luck and congrats

i didnt used any calendar with my 2 but my girl i didnt realy start showing till about 5 or 6 months but with my boy i was in maternity clothes at about 3 or 4 months he sat way lower like on my bladder thats how i knew i was having a boy its the old wives tale girls sit higher and boys sit lower not sure how true it is with any one else but not only did i use it to predict the sex of both my children i used it to predict the sex with 2 of my really close friends and not even being around them they just told me how they felt how big they were an dhow it felt the babbies were sitting and i was right on with both of them

The chinese calendar was wrong for me with my son, it said I would be having a girl. I am pregnant now and it says boy, I don't find out for 3 more weeks though! It's fun to do, but I don't believe in it.

The Chinese calendar told me my twin boys would be a girl. I guess it can get the sex of your baby right 50% of the time.

For maternity clothes, I found reasonably priced clothes at Wal-mart, Target, and Kohl's.

The chinese calendar was right with my first, wrong with my second. Depending on which site you're looking at, each day also has percentages (70% likely girl, 50%, etc.) I found some of my favorite maternity clothes at good Gap sales, old navy, target, and consignment stores!

I use the chinese birth chart anytime I hear someone is pregnant! LOL It has ALWAYS been correct! We even checked it for when my brother, sister & myself were born. It was correct about my daughter, my nephew, and all of my cousins' kids.

It's the weirdest thing since the chart is based on info about the mother, while we know scientifically it's the father who determines the sex! lol
