Ultrasound is the most accurate

I’ve heard Nipt is most accurate and that kind of look like boy to me idk??

I would trust the blood test more than an ultrasound picture also congratulations

this happen to my friend & ultrasound showed girl and it was a girl. on US they can actually see the babys parts

also i have a boy & it doesnt look like this on ultrasound. ill upload mine here if it lets me

The same happened to my sister and she had a girl just like the ultrasound said

I've heard that sometimes boys are mistaken for girls in ultrasounds, because the determining factor for "girl" is no male genitals...and sometimes it hides 😅 I'd probably lean more boy but I also am not a doctor!!

National Institute of Health says NIPT is more than likely the most accurate

"NIPT is very accurate for the determination of fetal sex. A 2017 systematic review of NIPT in singleton pregnancies found that the sensitivity and specificity of NIPT for fetal sex is 0.989 and 0.996, respectively."

The article is slightly out of date considering it was posted in 2019, and, having twins myself I can tell you its claim that NIPT testing is less provided for twins is no longer the case-- it's just as prevalent now, and if anything the testing is MORE accurate now, over half a decade later. So I would lean into boy!

Induction

People who have been induced in their first pregnancies, how long did it take from starting the process to going into labour? Was the experience as horrific as all the social media posts i see online?

Im supposed to be induced at 38 weeks and absolutely shitting bricks that its going to be a difficult process because my body just wont be ready.

🫣 feel like I’m really catastrophizing it and it’s not helping!
Please can anyone share there positive elective stories with me/ any tips they have to help make the theatre experience better and to stay calm in the theatre?

Inductions and sweeps

So I’m 38 + 1 weeks and they have said they will be inducing me on my due date if my sweeps aren’t successful.
I went for one yesterday, my midwife said no chance of a sweep as my bodies not ready after checking and said we can try next week.

I’m a tad nervous they are going to have to induce me, in case it just makes birthing 10x worse. Has anyone had any issues when being induced?
