NIPT was wrong about the gender!

NIPT testing indicated that we were having a boy. At my 20 week scan they couldn’t get the baby to uncross their legs so we had an unconfirmed gender. Booked a private scan 3 days later and confirmed that we are having a baby girl!

I had two gestational sacs at my first sono appointment and was told one was empty but that they couldn’t confirm or deny whether I ever had a baby in there. We think we had a vanishing twin which caused the blood work to reflect the male result.

We are both still happy as long as we have a healthy baby but I wanted to share in case anyone else had a second gestational sac!

Wow that’s crazy, congratulations 💗👶🏻

OMG that’s crazy!! Congrats !! My NIPT says I’m having a boy but my 20’weeks scan it’s on 2 weeks wishing get wrong too and I can have a baby girl ♥️♥️♥️♥️🥹🥹🥹🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

I’m having the same hope right now 😂🫶🏼💜

Wow crazy! Congrats!

Haha hopefully our dreams can be true! Just trust it can happen ♥️🫶🏻

Had my 20 week ultrasound today but we couldn’t see the gender, baby didn’t want to open the legs.

Wow our scenarios are so similar! Our first ultra sound we had 2 sacs and 2 heartbeats confirming a twin pregnancy. Second ultrasound sac was empty and it was ruled as a vanishing twin. We got our NIPT also resulting in a BOY. At this point we are so excited to welcome our son, however our 20 week is coming soon and I only hope everything is spot on!

So yes I did have a second sac from the beginning, and the baby vanished. 😔

Sometimes I wish it were all wrong!
But are excited for our singleton who is healthy❤️.

Congratulations to you as well. 🙂

That’s interesting considering that if the blood test detected an XY, then there most certainly was a male fetus. I’ve seen people have the opposite where, the NIPT said one gender and ultrasound said another, with the ultrasound being wrong. Hope everything goes well for you and baby.

Anyone else up feeding their Bebe?

As above. Trying so hard to keep my eyes open

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

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

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?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
