What's the s*x?

We don't know if it's a boy or a girl. And we can't know. It's illegal. When you go to hospital for a scan (écho) you have to sign a form stating that you won't ask. And if you get close to the zone that would indicate something, the Dr moves away from it! This is because in India, many people would prefer to have a boy rather than a girl. So as a preventative measure, Doctors are banned from giving this information out. I've heard that some still do, thanks to a baksheesh. But I don't want to go down that road.

So, instead of choosing to have a surprise as some people do, we are having a surprise, whether we like it or not! Do you get the impression that I might have liked to know?! Typical India, forcing me to control less! But this is a small price to pay to be here.

To have a bit of fun with it, I've added a poll to the blog, so you can say if you think it's a boy or a girl.
