Nipt testing

I will be going to Natera nipt testing for the 3rd Monday I’m beyond scared to get the same results as the first 2 test (not enough dna) everyone I tell they are surprised that I’ve had to do it more than twice with no results

I had the same results on my first, currently waiting for the second results. Does anyone know why this happens?

Weight and medication can affect the results

I had to redo twice as well the first time not enough dna 2ed time was a lab issue

My first one came back “Not Reportable” due to not enough DNA. Second one came back with a decreased risk of one of the conditions. Doing additional testing to hopefully rule it out. 🤞🏻

the only medications I’m taking are metformin, my thyroid meds and the prenatals. I was told it could be weight, age, medication or auto immune disease although my obgyn keeps saying that my baby is too small I will be 5 months tomorrow

I never heard of people having to do it more than twice it’s my first time having to redo it a 3rd time with my first pregnancy I only had to do it once I weight the same as I did my first time I’m hoping this case is cus of my age I was 27 with my first I’m 30 now

Do they not offer any other dna testing?

Avatar

there may be other tests especially since you’re farther along. I’d ask about this. Age shouldn’t play much of an issue, I’m 34 and normal weight.

At this point they may end up asking to do an amnio. Much more invasive and a biiiiit riskier but that one shouldn't get "insufficient" results

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

Sneak Peek Test

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?
