Gender anticipation

Guys…. Im going crazy. I still have another two weeks(or more) before i can find out the gender! Im 11 weeks and no one knows im pregnant yet besides my husband. We have had a few losses and i am on medication to prevent MC this time around so we decided to wait a little longer before telling anyone this time. ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY! I can’t wait to tell family and my best friend, and i also can’t wait to find out what the gender is because this will most likely be my last child. Two more weeks (as long as everything is ok) and all this anticipation will be over but it feels like it will never end! What are we doing to distract ourselves??

I was able to complete a genetic screening blood test at 10 weeks and was able to find out the sex at 11 weeks. Is this a possibility for you? Love reading how excited you are to share your amazing news with those around you!! 🥳👏🏽🎉 you got this mama!

My past two I’ve ordered the sneakpeek testing kit. It was correct for my first and is 99% accurate when done at 6weeks +, have to verify results for our second. Congratulations to you and hubs, very exciting!

Same exact scenario, but this pregnancy was not planned like our last one was before we had several losses. I think you may be the mom that posted about Lovenox, maybe? Sorry if not, haha. Only my husband knows also. I am just distracting myself with work, my kiddos, and trying to be active with them when I'm not working. Also, 11 weeks, and I have my NIPT tomorrow.🤞 Appointments are always so nerve-wracking.

Okay I’m going absolutely bonkers too. We got our results back last week and my closest friends know (they’re helping with the reveal) and it’s driving me CRAZY that they know and I don’t. I regret my decisions to tell them so early lol

@Nadia unfortunately my ob office is booked out, iv got the first available appointment. I did the nipt test with my first boy and it came back inconclusive and just caused anxiety so we decided against it this time anyways.

@Cristal yes im on lovenox! Congrats to you! We decided against the NIPT this time because of past experiences. Iv barely felt like leaving the house this time around so far. Just feel so alone with my thoughts. Thanks for the advice!

@Macy this was me with my first! Lol we decided this time we were going to be the first to know and tell others in a way we see fit 🥰

@Schannon i just dont know if i trust them with how often they are wrong tho! Id rather wait then get one result when its really another. Lol

@Natascha definitely learned my lesson🤣🤣🤣 will be doing it that way next time too

We're also not announcing until later after tragic loss after miscarriage. At this point, anything can happen, so I'm just calmly mission ready trying to pump myself with as much nutrition as I can tolerate and trying to stay as healthily a vessel as I can. We'll be excited to find out the sex once the NIPT is done, but it's definitely an afterthought.

@Nadia yes I just did the same yesterday results should be here in a week 🥰I waited longer with my first so I’m excited.

@Natascha Congrats to you also! I totally understand. I'm praying I don't get more anxiety with these results. Luckily, my past ones were good, but Lovenox can throw the results off with the fetal fraction. I'm not sure if you were on it with your last child or if anyone told you that. I'm just hoping I don't have to retake it ( I did not skip my dose), and all comes back well. My inbox is always open if you need someone to talk to.
