Confused by gender

Hey! Just wondering if anyone has experienced something similar

I’ve had two blood tests one at 9 weeks and another at 10 weeks and both came back showing girl chromosomes. However, whenever my doctor looks at baby on the scan, he can clearly see a nub between the legs. It was still really obvious at our most recent 12-week scan too!

Has anyone had this happen where the blood tests say girl but the scans have looked more like a boy? Did it become clearer later on?

We’re now waiting until our 16-week scan to see if anything changes 💕

12 weeks is too early to see sex on a scan. You’re likely seeing the nub not penis.

I would trust the blood tests more than the scan. It’s way too early to tell sex. Plus the easiest way to tell it’s a boy is by the testicles not a nub. (My boy’s scan… very undeniably a boy)
Should be able to tell at the 16/20 week scan if Bub is cooperating.

My friend’s girl was a boy according to their doctor until about 6m check when they realised she isn’t. They wait until 20w to tell via scan usually

Hurts during sex

I am a FTM and finally having sex after months of not doing it ( dont want to get pregnant again for awhile lol). But everytime me and my husband have sexy time, it hurts on the walls inside. This might be tmi but I just need to know if this is normal and if any other moms have delt with this. We are also using condoms for the first time in years so that might be a factor to the pain as well

Having pain

Hi everyone, I’m writing this post because I have been having this pain since the beginning of my pregnancy and me and my Dr. We checked everything and everything looks good. I do have my eight weeks ultrasound next week on 25th of September. But today I have been having a lot of pain while I was standing for a long time at my workplace. Is it fine or is it common to have this kind of pain during the first trimester?

Nightmare birth?

Anyone else have a nightmare experience? I wont elaborate much here because i dont want to horrify anyone. But. Im still in hospital after delivery and feel like im literally going insane from the stress of how badly it has gone. I have only slept a grand total of about 4 hours in 4 days. And feel like i keep hearing things that are not really there. Like music or animal sounds. The 20 mins of grand total sleep ive had since after i delivered was pure nightmare. Im drowning in stress

Period at 3and a half weeks PP

I’m convinced my period came back on Friday, but when I’ve googled it it says it’s just the PP bleeding. But that stopped over a week and a half ago (had a C-Section). I know it can start up again but this feels very different. I have had a migraine (only get them when I’m on my period), constipation and the pattern of the bleeding is exactly like my periods used to be. Could this be possible? Baby is 4 weeks old tomorrow.
