I can’t remember how long it took to get the results back with my daughter. How long did it take y’all to get the results back?

Anxiety

I'm finding the first trimester so hard to get through, not because of morning sickness or any physical symptoms but just because I'm so worried that I'm going to lose baby or there will be something wrong and not knowing my exact dates too. I've never felt so alone

Natera Panorama Results

How long did your NIPT test take to come back if it was with Natera? My last one was with Invitae, and it was pretty slow. Just wondering if it came back closer to the 7 - or 10-day mark. I am anxious, haha! I know they can all be different turnaround times, but curious of others experiences.

2nd time round Labour nerves…

Anyone else about to have their 2nd baby but feels more nervous this time round? I guess I didn’t know what to expect the first time round, but this time I’m super super nervous as I know what to expect and I just don’t feel ready to do that again 😅 (extremely excited to meet the baby though)

Capillary vs Vein Glucose Test

Hi! I got my 1hr glucose test done last week and failed it, so I had my 3hr today. Because I still had a small bruise from the 1hr test on my left arm, and my right arm 'didn't have any suitable veins', the tech opted to do finger pricks for my four 3hr draws. Judging from the results (doctor hasn't interpreted ye...
