Gender reveal blood tests

Has anyone tried the blood tests you can do to see if your having a boy or girl as early as 8weeks? Just wondering how accurate it is 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m too impatient to wait😅

Some people say it’s super accurate. But it can also be easy to mess up. So I think if it’s cheap then go ahead and try it it could be fun. But I wouldn’t get my hopes up until you can do the nipt testing and or anatomy scan. So I wouldn’t do a gender reveal until after that either

I got one done and it was accurate

I got them done at 8 weeks with both of my pregnancies through Sneak Peek and they were both accurate 🙂

Ooo I think I’ll do one! 🤩 but not to a gender reveal till confirmed via scan just to be safe! Thanks all 🥰

I got it done to check for other genetic abnormalities (trisomies, monosomies, etc) and the gender was exact. If your insurance covers it, I say go for it.

I also did the NIPT test to check for abnormalities at 12 weeks, checked the box saying I also wanted to know gender and found out by 13 weeks that I am having a boy. It matches what was found at our 20 eeek anatomy scan :)

How are we dealing with the exhaustion?!

How are we all dealing with the exhaustion??? Baby is 7weeks old and I feel I haven't had a full night sleep in months (which is technically true as I didn't sleep great in the third trimester).

Baby boy does to a chunk of sleep most nights from around 9/10 - 2/2:30 but then can be really unsettled after 3. I know I'm lucky that he does a chunk of sleep but I'm sick of people telling me that because I still feel absolutely wrecked from tiredness!

Also sick of people telling me I look great because I really don't feel it!

Gender scan uncertainty

I had my gender scan at 15w GA in WTTW and was told it’s a boy… I don’t know what I’m looking for but my boys scans did not look like this one and my friends due in July and was scanned at 15 weeks and her gender scan looks the same as my previous pregnancies… (I have twin boys and she’s having a boy) so I’m so unsure about the decision on this scan!

I’m probably wishful thinking as I’d love a little girl but thought I’d post for any advice or what you think? I haven’t got any girls to compare

C-section

I’m 38 weeks, c-section is booked for next week.
I’m so sad as I really wanted to try give birth this time as I didn’t get the chance with my first born.
😞 but nothings happening no signs nothing

Birth partner

I never see section birth partner is probably very different from a natural birth, birth partner.
Are there any key things that I need my birth partner to know or to do to be able to support me through a gentle c section?

Packing for Induction

What would you suggest to pack more of or extra for an induction? This is my first and I currently have my bag packed for a spontaneous birth but induction is looking more likely. Thanks in advance!

88th Percentile

Hi just needed a bit of advice. Not sure what to do or if I’m panicking for nothing.

I’m just over 33weeks and have started growth scans due to my long term condition. During this scan I was told that my baby is measuring at the 88th percentile? When I’ve been measured by the tape all this time it’s shown to be 50th percentile (I know it’s not accurate).

Anyway the doc said that if it reaches 90th percentile then will be looking to see if I have GD? But when I had my glucose tolerance test at 25weeks it was fine.

I know I’m just hormonal but feeling so guilty and can’t stop crying. I’ve had a rough pregnancy sickness and foodwise and haven’t had that much to eat. The only thing I’ve been able to handle is fruit, ice lollies and coffee frappes (without the cream). Did I induce this?

Any advice would be appreciated.
