More evidence on why you should use organic products when pregnant...especially when you think your having a boy

Studies have shown that everyday chemicals found in shampoo, makeup and cosmetics, paints etc have been linked to reproductive organ defects in baby boys.

Its scary to think that simply washing your hair everyday can be linked to this.. but it just goes to show how sensitive your baby is to external toxins.

Its definitely more fuel to make sure you read the labels of all your products and use organic when you can.

Week 8...starting to feel somewhat better?

Is it wrong that I'm starting to show enough to be noticed now? Haven't put on much weight at all (max about 1kg) but have a round tummy that's sticking out and it's low.. Had mothers day at Dave's grandparents place....was standing sideways to my mum -inlaw and she started to scream in a high pitch voice from across the room saying she can see my belly! haha..that can't be right..surely??

Queasiness is only after meals now...not bad...can handle that as long as it's not all day and night like previously. Can't believe that this time next year I'll have a 6 month old. crazy....

Other than that - nothing much to report on this week.....really looking forward to seeing the OB-GYM...I've got so many questions to ask her.
