Your OB should know better. Terrible advice. Not only has heart rate been debunked, but the idea that sick = girl is also debunked (in several studies now). ONLY in cases of hyperemesis did they find a SLIGHT increase in the number of girls, and it was minor. Like 53% girls, 47% boys. That is still very close to 50-50 and no connection was found to normal morning sickness.
Again, my girl debunks this old wives tale - 3 of my sons I was quite sick, one of my sons and my daughter I was barely sick at all. I have talked to I'm sure nearly 100k people by now about symptoms and there is NO TREND there. None whatsoever. I am always on the lookout for trends and there is nothing there to be found.
Thank you atomic I will try to calm down. I have my big scan and genetic testing coming up at like 12ish weeks with maternal fetal medicine so hopefully I will get some good pictures for everyone to look at.
My OB is a resident so I'm sure her inexperience just had her quoting old wives tales. At least hopefully that was the case. Its hard to not get wrapped up in all of it since I'm having similar pregnancies so hopefully this is just how I am pregnant

Well I got my NIPT results! Healthy baby! Yay. We didn't find out what gender that said though. We want to wait until ultrasound. I know NIPT are accurate. But there are some of them that have a 1.2% inaccuracy rate for gender . I know this isn't a lot when you say it like that, but that's 1/77 people. My gut just doesn't trust it, for the gender part at least. So we are holding out especially after my sneak peek results. I'm just over the blood test stuff.

Embaressed to say I'm starting to spiral a little bit as heart rate was 167bpm which is girl territory. I know heart rate doesn't matter and people have had boys with high heart rate but with both my previous girls being in the 160s I have no hope left since nausea and heart rate both point to girl
maybe I will be surprised but even my OB kept saying girl since I've been so sick and heart rate was high.
We wanted more children so I am grateful for a healthy baby over everything.
thanks for listening ladies and I hope everyone is having their ideal pregnancy.

So glad you finally got to see your sweet baby! And they’re happy and healthy and you have a due date etc. gives you some more clarity! Will you do your NIPT in a week? I’m still (anxiously) awaiting my results...

I’ve had some brown discharge (TMI) and been to emergency because I’m so fearful something will go wrong or is wrong. Baby still has a heartbeat and looked happy. I’m not really any clearer on why or where the old blood came from, I’m praying it’s going to resolve. My obs noticed my placenta is low so he’ll keep an eye on that. My NIPT results are probably 3 working days away and my nuchal scan is in a week. I’m so scared

So I'm waiting for a call from our maternal fetal medicine! The base had to refer me out to do all the in depth stuff since I was high risk with my first. But whenever we get it set up I will have a super in depth scan and all the NIPT and genetic testing done I wanna say last time they did it during week 12 so hopefully I won't be waiting super long.

Hi ladies! I’m looking to chat with Atomic. I cannot login into my account on here. I’ve been booted off it before about a month ago. The only place I can write anything is in someone else’s thread. I’m sorry to intrude!

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
