Labcorp taking forever with NIPT results!

It’ll be a week tomorrow since my blood draw for my NIPT and genetic carrier screening. I am used to Labcorp test results coming back in 24-48 hours so this is killing me!

I got mine done on Friday and they only received it Tuesday. It’s killing me too!

how do you know they received it? Is there a way to check?

my doctors office emailed me with new results for my chart. I called thinking omg I got results but it was just it’s way of saying that the company received the results and it’ll take a few days to get a answer. I’ve been checking constantly

that’s a tease! The day I got my order for my test my doctor had added the test in my chart but they all say no value. So I’m hoping they’ll update it soon! I might give them a call just to check in

That's terrible. Mine took 4 days to get my results back.

Did you confirm that they received the sample?

Girl I did mine through Quest labs and Monday was a week since my draw. I’m ready to see these results

Usually I takes up to 10 business days

My OB at old me it’ll take up to 2 weeks

usually it depends on the clinic or place you are doing it every laboratory is different my told me up to 10 days to get the results like I said every click testing is different day my differ

I did mine through unity and it's taking forever lol

My doctors office didn't even call and tell me my results were in, I messaged and said did my NIPT Results come in yet? And she said "NIPT Results were normal" I'm like that's great but can I come pick up the envelope with the gender cuz my reveal is this weekend. So apparently they weren't planning to call me they were gonna wait until my next appt which defeats the whole purpose of getting the test to find out the gender early.

I did it through labcorp too and I guess this specific test labcorp can’t release to your portal until your dr reviews it.. I was so upset because my ob got the results after like four days then took another week to even review it because they’re understaffed. So hard being patient lol!!

did you get the results back yet?!?

the cystic fibrosis genetic screening is taking forever to come back so they said to check on Thursday!

Ugh fingers crossed! That’s so annoying! I went for my nipt at labcorp this morning and I’m hoping to have the results back within a reasonable timeframe! They told me up to 10 days but I’ve heard so many people get it back sooner. Hoping for speedy results for all the mamas

I did mine August 25th… it’s ridiculous. I’m hoping it’ll be back Thursday when I call.

I hope yours comes back soon :)

thanks! Fingers crossed for the both of us!

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Induction experience

I just wanted to share my experience with being induced as I wasn’t sure what to expect and thought it may help others.

I opted for the foley balloon which was inserted at 8am Saturday morning, I had to stay in hospital due to hypertension and protein urine however usually you can just go home once this has been done. The insertion of the balloon was not painful, was slightly uncomfortable as there was slight pressure. I actually found having the cervix checked prior to be worse (again not painful at this point just uncomfortable) The balloon had little effect and after having it removed I was still only 1cm. Removal also was pain free and hardly even noticeable.

I then had my first dose of the gel and definitely noticed a difference, I started experiencing period like cramps almost immediately however they were light and manageable. After 6 hours I had another cervix check and although my cervix was soft it was still only 1cm and was only open at the front. I had another dose of the gel and felt an increase in pressure and more intense cramping where I now required pain relief (codeine). After another 6 hours I had another cervix check and I had now dilated to 2-3cm however was still quite difficult to get all the way through so a third gel was recommended which I agreed to.

Almost immediately I noticed the difference and was in considerable pain, I had paracetamol and codeine however the contractions had now become intense and a lot closer together (around 3 minutes apart). After a couple of hours I had my last cervix check and was 4cm and taken down to the Labour ward to have my waters broken and an epidural.

I had been in my room for approx 20minutes when my waters broke by themselves and I was now 10cm and actively pushing…. There was no time for the epidural and my beautiful girl arrived into the world within 2 minutes of pushing.

All in all I would say the cramps/contractions were manageable up until the third gel where it became pretty unbearable however it was for a very short time a gas and air helped take the edge off. The worst part about any of it was actually the later cervix checks where after stimulating the cervix my contractions were at their most painful.

If I had to be induced again I would skip the balloon and opt for the gels immediately as thy had a quicker effect and I would have been out a lot sooner if I had done this to begin with.

One more thing, I’ve never believed when people say “you forget the pain once they’re here” but I can honestly say this is true. It’s been 4 days and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Gave birth (vagina) 5 days ago and yesterday morning and this morning getting lot of pain in my right bottom side and lower back
