Gender blood test

At my next appointment they told me they will be doing the gender blood test, I didn’t ask but they said they would, has anyone done this? & how did they give you the results to keep private? I don’t want to see by accident because I’m going to do a gender reveal, never got the gender test done with my last child, I didn’t know offices usually do it for you.

My NIPT test asked me when I logged in for results whether I wanted to know the gender. I did Natera Panorama test. You should let your OB office know as well if you don’t want to find out!

okay thanks yeah I told them if they could print it,& I let them know but I won’t be getting it done for 3 weeks so I’m going to have to remind them! Because I do use an app for my info too

With my last NIPT the office called to tell me my results and said they would write the gender on an envelope for me to pick up if I wanted. They are usually really good about not spoiling the gender but a genetics test is a great idea to make sure baby is healthy.

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
