SneakPeek Gender Tests: Clinical vs. Snap Test– Which One is Right for You?
Discovering your baby’s gender is one of the most exciting milestones of pregnancy, and thanks to SneakPeek, you don’t have to wait for the anatomy scan to find out! At North Alabama Newborn Nurse, we offer two incredible options for early gender determination: SneakPeek Clinical and SneakPeek Snap Test. Both are 99.9% accurate, but they cater to different preferences. Let’s explore what makes each one unique so you can decide which is best for you!
Postpartum Abdominal Changes
The postpartum belly undergoes arguably the most drastic and abrupt physical change the human body endures. The pregnant uterus spends 9 months stretching skin, ligaments, muscles and squishing organs. By 36 weeks of pregnancy your uterus is at it’s highest point at the sternum, tucked up close under the ribcage.
Entering the Third Trimester
What to expect in the third trimester? Lots of growing! Baby gains about half of their birth weight in this last trimester!

After giving birth, more than likely you will quickly start to get a lot of questions and encouragement from nurses to use the toilet. Along with wearing diapers, it can start to feel like you are are being potty trained all over again! In some sense.. there can be some bladder re-training that needs to happen, but mostly, we just want to make sure everything is working properly and that it continues to work properly.
