Early gender test

Did anyone do an early gender blood test? I did at 13 weeks with previous pregnancy but looking at getting an early scan and was thinking I might just do it while I'm there. I would be 7+6 so not sure if this is too early? They do say accurate from 6 weeks but I just don't want to waste money if it's possible it could be wrong? Thank you!

It’s the most accurate from 10 weeks on, the majority of places won’t do it that early since there’s not enough fetal blood for the test.

Did it at 8 weeks and was accurate xx

I had one at exactly 7 weeks with Window To The Womb (7 weeks is the earliest they will do it) it was accurate!

As long as you follow the instructions, the at home or in doctor blood tests to detect sex are over 99% accurate

Has anyone had anything like this? Baby’s tummy is measuring bigger than everything else and looks huge so I’m slightly worried!

Thinking of going for a planned C-section... thoughts

I'm 27 weeks pregnant, I have type 2 and gestational diabetes. I got pregnant via IVF. I'm on blood thinners as high risk for clots.
I've got to have baby girl early due to the GD (even tho my blood sugars are controlled, not taking insulin and my type 2 diabetes had reversed before getting pregnant due to 9 stone weight loss). They've said I'll have to have her from 38 weeks. This is my first pregnancy to full term so the likelihood of me going into labour naturally before that point is quite low and so my options are either an induction or C-section.

I think I've made up my mind to go for an elective C-section but wanted to hear others experiences where the situation is similar.

Thanks ♥️

Should I be worried?🙄

I'm currently 6+4 weeks pregnant and we've had our first scan today. The gestational sack was there, and heartbeat was visible but the embryo only measures just 4mm and the heartbeat was only 105 bpm. We were told the embryo is basically measuring 3 days younger (6+1)and we should come back in 10-14 days for another scan. I'm slightly worried now whether everything is ok...

Did anyone have a similar experience and it turned into a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby?

Found out I am pregnant

Aside from nutrition, health and habits, what were things you immediately thought about to make sure you have a great pregnancy?

Any good pregnancy apps that were exceptional about baby development, pregnancy facts info and so on?

I feel so happy and overwhelmed at the same time about what needs to be planned and done 🤗
