NIPT at 9.5 weeks

I was told I could get my NIPT testing done at 9.5 weeks but I’m nervous it’s too early. Has anyone else gotten it done at 9.5 weeks and been fine? There were just so many vials, I would be bummed if I needed to do it again. 😅

First Trimester Hell

I’m almost 8 weeks and I’m honestly a bit shocked by how hard the first trimester is. It’s not even the nausea for me, it’s the physical changes. I feel swollen, full of fluid, my hands feel weak, my legs and knees feel weak, my skin is changing so fast, I feel I’ve already aged a decade, and my breasts have doubled in size and are so sore that I can’t sleep properly. Bra hurts, no bra hurts, and lying down sometimes literally makes me feel like I can’t breathe because of the weight of them.
I really didn’t expect it to be this intense this early. How did you get through the first trimester? I’m dreading getting through the next 7 months like this… Any tips would be very appreciated.

Anxiety

I’m currently 18+6 and this is my first pregnancy with a BMI of 34-35, and I’m shit scared about my health. Currently, I’m doing alright, but I have this constant fear of getting GD. My mum had GD when she was pregnant with me, and because of my BMI, I’m at high risk of getting it. I have been eating fairly healthily, but just the anxiety is killing me. I had an ice cream just now after lunch, and all I can think of is getting GD. Plus, I have been leaning towards a C-section just because I want to have a little bit of control over the situation (IYKWIM), but I’m also scared of getting the scar infected. I would love to hear what your thoughts are so I could feel normal about it x

Never had a CO2 check at midwife appts

Is this normal? Or is my midwife seriously lacking? She also hasn’t checked my weight since my 20 week appointment or maybe even earlier which I find really strange.
