I did an early gender reveal blood work at 8 w and this service looks for the Y chromosome. I didn’t do it myself but at the clinic they took my blood. Now I got BOY (super happy) but I’m worried if it’s accurate or not. Any experiences?

I went with a company called early reveal and my blood was collected at one of the UC baby clinics (canada).

Hey. I’m 32 weeks and I am struggling with the lack of intimacy from my partner. I never thought I’d be the one pretty much getting turned down and it’s making me feel really paranoid. Bump is pretty big now so I understand it’s not the easiest but that doesn’t make me feel any better! Has anyone else had this? I ...

Some advice/words of encouragement or even experience would be great😬

So I’m pretty sure I’m pregnant, I have a nearly one year old (she’ll be one in a couple weeks) so if I am they would be about 1.5 years apart. We weren’t planning this and every conversation I’ve had with my partner is that we’d wait until she was about 3. I don’t think I could terminate the pregnancy as I now look...

Can I ask for a sooner date for a planned c section?

My baby is breech and I'm getting a scan next week to confirm it. My midwife said I will probably be booked in for a c section at 39 weeks, but I feel anxious about waiting that long and going into labour with a breech baby! I live about 40 minutes away from the hospital, and also don't have anyone in the area to dr...

Combined Test Results

Hello, has anyone else had a combined test result of 1 in 5000, I know it’s still low risk but most of my friends have had 1 in 10000, so half the chance. They got pregnant in their 20’s though and wondering if it’s just an age thing?
