Non-identical twins can be either boy and girl or of the same sex (two boys or two girls) because they came from two different eggs and so have two different sets of DNA.
Where should you feel your baby move?
I have just had the great news that me and my husband are expecting our first baby. This is thrilling news but now I am trying to gather as much information as I can. I'm currently at week 6 and am already feeling "hormonal" and can sense changes in my body, but I want to know what to expect in the future. What would be perfect for me would be a week by week guide to pregnancy which highlights all of the key milestones at that stage. I know I am asking a lot but does anybody have the titles of books on the subject or maybe web articles on the topic. Thanks for all those that help with this request, your support is appreciated.
