I had mine today and I honestly feel miserable now. I have the worst migraine ever. I didn’t expect to fail because I haven’t been eating unhealthy and due to nausea I usually only eat two meals a day. Not quite sure what to do any advise?

Hello ladies! So I have just found that I am actually 11 weeks pregnant after a misdiagnosis of ectopic pregnancy in October (terrified is not the word as we got referred to recurrent miscarriage clinic thinking we had 3 losses in a year) - when did you start buying baby stuff?

I went in for a routine Ob appointment and the nurse took my blood pressure then another nurse did then I got sent to labor and delivery they are keeping me here to monitor my blood pressure for a couple hours and they drew my blood they also gave me a menu so I’m assuming I’ll be here awhile. What should I expect?

I was wondering how accurate the blood test for gender chromosomes tend to be. I'm 12 weeks and I got the blood test (no results yet) and my husband is super excited to find out but I don't know if the test is accurate enough to do a gender reveal to the family or if its safer to wait until 20 weeks.
