I got my NIPT test and found out the gender. I’m 12 weeks! They say to wait until after 10 weeks for the most accuracy! You can ask to take it at your next appointment. I trained to be a phlebotomist best tip would be to read something while you’re getting your blood drawn and don’t watch!

NIPT test is usually to find out the health of your baby, it can be kind of expensive I have more information about it if you’re interested, but they can tell you your gender as well

You can get a private scan done from 12 or 13 weeks but they're not 100% accurate x

I did a blood test with my baby at 8 weeks and it was accurate for me!

2nd section

My first I had a planned section it was great. My 2nd planned section is next week.

Question - did anyone go earlier 2nd time round? Was it a scary experience?

I’m worried go early. I’ve been told I would still get my section but treated as emergency section but I’m just really worried and anxious about that happening.

7 week scan

Hi,
Has anybody had a 7 week scan for reassurance and did you hear a heart beat / would you recommend it? I don’t feel like I can wait another 3 weeks until my first midwife appointment!

Would you go to the doctor?

I'm 26 weeks pregnant. Last Thursday, whilst lifting up my daughter, I felt a ping in the middle of my stomach. It didn't really hurt, but it was noticeable. Ever since then, when I lift even light things, or when I walk/stand up I feel a light pain in the area. It is also very sensitive. It's not really overly painful, it really is just a slight niggle. I didn't have anything similar with my first pregnancy. Should I go to the doctor?

Baby is Born!

I am graduating from this group and moving to July babies.
Baby was born yesterday Jul 18th at 311pm. We were 36 + 6 days. I had a 2 1/2 hr unmedicated labor from start to finish at a birth center. We are home and settled.

Happy to answer any questions!

Early Scan?

I’m trying to decide on whether or not to book an early scan, it’s my first pregnancy and will be 5wks tomorrow. I’ve had some mild cramping and coloured discharge, according to NHS it’s all normal. I have quite severe anxiety as it is, and this is making me spiral slightly. I’m trying to reassure myself but I don’t know if booking an early scan will help?

How soon after losing your mucus plug did labour start/baby born?

I’m starting to get lots of symptoms/indications that labour is getting closer. But how soon after losing your mucus plug did labour start and then when was your baby born?

I lost my plug yesterday and feeling crampy and more emotional today…
