Has anyone used the Sneak peek gender test?

I’m feeling ill and I want to do something for fun to lift my spirits. So I thought it’d be cool to find out what gender it is. I’ve seen mostly positive reviews and some negative. Have you used the sneak peek gender test, if so what was your experience like, were the instructions clear, and how was customer service?

Effacement but no dilation?

I had my weekly appointment with the midwives today. I am 36wks +5 and due on October 31st. She did an internal exam and said that I am 50% effaced but still closed and 0 dilation. I was 0% just last week. She said that's normal for a 1st pregnancy, but this is my 2nd (albeit a 15yr age gap). Has anyone else been ...

Any mamas going thru the same?

I have had my ob since June and at first she was great but for the past couple weeks she has been very short on our appointments. She has shown up late which I could understand the first couple times but it has been a constant thing. I have voiced my concerns and she just brushes them off as normal pregnancy symptom...

Feeling disappointed

Had my 38 week appointment today still zero meters dilated and my BP was high. They’re making me go in and get labs redone for pre eclampsia. Ugh! This is so discouraging I just want my baby boy to be here and be with me.
