NIPT

Currently 15 weeks and still haven’t gotten my NIPT testing done, due to not having active insurance (waiting to be added to my husbands - just got married last month) and SO in my head about everything… Is there a cut off date when you can receive that test?


Wanting to know gender so bad, and making sure baby is healthy..
my anxiety is getting the best of me.

They say it’s “best” before 12 weeks but there’s not a cut off. I’ve seen mommas in at 18,20 weeks before.

There is a cut off date.

You can also apply to their financial aid. Mine only cost $90

I didn’t get mine done til I was about 24 weeks due to me not finding out I was pregnant til I was 23 weeks pregnant. But there’s also the ones you can buy my sister did that one, I believe she paid 70$ for it, I helped her draw the blood with the kit they send and within a week you get results in your email

Honesty at this point you may be better off waiting for the anatomy ultrasound! NIPT is not a requirement and is not typically covered in full by insurance unless you are over 35 or have genetic conditions that run in your family. The anatomy scan is still the most reliable way to see if baby is developing properly and even if they find something on NIPT they have to confirm with the anatomy scan. By they time you get your results it would be time to go for the anatomy scan anyway

So over ittttt

I’m 37 weeks and just so over this pregnancy now!
I know baby will come when they’re ready but I just want this baby out of me now!😂
I’m so bloody exhausted and having constant painful pelvic pains.

Any way to help bring on labour soon?
I’ve been collecting colostrum, eating dates, walking everything.

Normal reaction to pregnancy announcement?

I told my friend who I used to be close with that I'm pregnant, she pulled away and said " what the fu*k " with shock that looked anywhere between surprise and disgust.
No smile.
Just stared at me until I nodded and i said yes, she then asked who knows, etc. Not once did she say congratulations.

We haven't been close in months.

Announcement

When would you begin telling friends and family?
I only just found out two days ago I am pregnant, I’d be about 4 weeks at the moment?

With my son I told my mum and sister at 4 weeks, some immediate family at 6 weeks and everyone else at 11 weeks after scan. This time round I’m struggling to keep quiet after waiting so long!

Last baby 👶🏼

I’ve just had my second, and last baby, 2 weeks ago. I know I’m done at two, and I’ve been lucky enough to have a girl, then a boy, but does anyone else in the same situation feel sad that they’re never going to experience pregnancy, and labour again? Labour with my son was fasttt and so intense with crazy contractions but I’d do it again in a heartbeat for my perfect boy.

I don’t know what I’m getting out of writing this post but just felt I needed to write it somewhere! It’s the end of an era and I’m content with my two children, but never experiencing pregnancy, kicks, scans, or having a newborn baby placed on your chest, or having that first night in hospital just you and your baby again makes me feel a little sad too!
