My little girl was born at exactly 29+6. She's now 3, about to turn 4 and doing really well. Always happy to chat and share any advice based on my own experience

How did she do in the first couple of weeks? They’ve said my little one I’d breathing well and a good weight (3lb4oz) but this is new territory for me are they just being nice or is it true !?

And our little girls are the same age! I had my first born in June 2022,

My little girl was born at 2lb 12oz so a weight of 3lb 4oz is great!
During her time in NICU it was always just a case of waiting for her to grow before discharge as she transitioned from incubator to heated cot and then eventually to a normal cot.

OK then. She’s been transferred away from my hospital tonight. Did this happen to your little girl?

No it didn't. She stayed in NICU in the hospital she was born in. Did they tell you why she has been transferred? Is it a small hospital that perhaps doesn't have the resources to care for a premature baby so she's moving to a hospital that does?

Blood pressure

I got told off the midwife this is a fine blood pressure but it seems high to me? Especially for myself

Glucose Test

Y’all were SO dramatic about this… I was waiting for this test to be disgusting & was so anxious about it. All for it to taste like barely flat Orange Fanta.

Early gender tests

Has anyone used the peekaboo early gender blood test??
I did a sneak peek at 6 weeks (very rushed and in a bathroom I share with my husband) and it came back boy. I wasn’t convinced I didn’t contaminate it so I bought a peekaboo.

Peekaboo came back as a girl result at 6 weeks 3 days.

So now I’m the fool who paid $270 to be right where I started. Is one less accurate than the other? I mean I could’ve contaminated the boy result but the peekaboo may have been too early without enough fetal dna?? Ugh I want a girl!! I have two boys 3.5 / 12 months. Idk if I can handle another little boy in such quick succession haha
