has anyone gotten the baby's gender wrong on their nipt test? I'm just now coming around to they idea that I'm having a boy and getting excited but my test says accuracy 98%. I know it's pretty high but just curious if anyone has gotten theirs and was wrong?

My biggest fear is driving in the rain and hurricanes are pretty much making me feel like they're driving at us while we are standing still. Around my house is like 4 huge ahh piles of sticks so I wanted to leave the house last night thinking the storm was coming in by 8am this morning but now it's coming around 7pm...

So we didn't know that some insurance didn't cover the amount. We did the test as the doctor recommended and are waiting for the results now. I just got an email about the cost estimate that crosses 1k after insurance. It's ridiculous!

Hi gals! This is my first pregnancy! I have anxiety anyways but I feel like pregnancy has sent it through the roof. I’ve paid for a reassurance scan on the 9/10 - was wondering if anyone else is feeling similar??? ♥️❤️⭐️

So this is potentially a very silly question.. I've just today got my period back as I've been exclusively breastfeeding my little one. Can I use tampons or is it not advised? It's almost ridiculous timing as I'm due to fly to Croatia first thing Saturday 😞😞😞 and basically planned to be in the pool lots. I've not…

This is the bottom, any guesses?

My midwife just told me in 3/5 engaged. But I really don't understand it. I'm getting pressure really low down and in a bit of pain. Is this a good sign? Or is 3/5 normal? I'm 36+4

Okay this is soooo random and I do not want judged for it hahahah. I’m 25 weeks + 4 days and the other day I just had this mad urge to bite a table , it won’t go away. Every time I sit down to have dinner I can’t take my mind off just biting the table. I have also been in the car or walking and thought like inedible...

Do I count 4 weeks from his birth date 14.07.24 onwards or do I go by his birth date of every month so 14th of every month? It’s so confusing as the calender is saying he will be 12 month on the completely wrong date🤣 I think I’ve done his 1 month and 2 month birthday wrong🤣

After trying for 4 years with no luck, we’re finally pregnant (4weeks 3days). I’m really scared something is going to go wrong, had 1 miscarriage 13 years ago. Got a beta on Tuesday and then 6 week scan on 13th October. How do I keep myself busy until then?!

Hey, yall. So I was gbs positive. I did receive antibiotics in labor. Now my baby is 8 weeks old. I get sooooo scared every time I go to the bathroom, have to change a pad, even when I shower! My hands are literally raw from washing. I know it's mostly due to my PPA but I'm just so worried about giving her strep now...

When dose the worry stop I’m almost 20 weeks and I’m just having constant worry if my baby is okay I’m so so so scared of losing him .I have an anterior placenta

So I may have preeclampsia and I'm kind of freaking out, does anyone have any comforting thoughts or advice?

Has anyone used this before?? Is it accurate?? I wanna try but a little hesitant

How did you guys deal with waiting to go into labor? I am so anxious and starting to panic because all of a sudden I don’t feel ready anymore. I know I am and I just want to meet my baby boy but the anxiety is real. One stressed out first time mama.

So I’m thankful and grateful to be pregnant with our little one (found out we’re having a girl) but who ever said that the second trimester would be a break before entering the third; I wish I was them. I have had non-stop nausea and heartburn thru the first and still having it. It’s hard to find foods to eat when I...

13 weeks 1 day

I don't see my dr till the 1st

Did anyone else not get told where abouts your placenta was sitting? In my previous pregnancy I was told straight away. But this time round she just showed it to us on the screen. So I’m now wondering if I have an anterior placenta as I haven’t really felt any movement and I’ll be 16 weeks Friday. I know everyone i...

If any one got this genetic testing to find out the gender how long did it take? I was told first it would take no more than a week, then I was told 7-10 days but on the website it said the won’t be ready for more then 2 weeks. And I know that’s not too long but I have been told so many different things. Did anyone ...
