Reply To: source for not buying stuff for a baby before its born needed

sam4321: I saw an interesting twist on that Midrash brought down in a Sefer I have called Ashrei Yoladeto (I highly recommend this to anyone expecting!). He asks that Lema’aseh it’s possible to know today what the gender is -?- The Toras Hayoledes answers that the Chasam Sofer writes there’s a difference between “??????” and “???” that ?????? refers to AFTER it’s noticeable that she is expecting (after 3 months), whereas ??? refers to before (until 3 months), and therefore when the Midrash says “??? ??????? ?? ???” it refers to the first three months. [???? ?????? ???? ????, ???? ????? ??? ???? ???] I found that interesting 🙂
