Serious anxiety over 20 week gender scan
Guys I’m having some serious anxiety. Like the keeping me up at night type.
I’m 17 weeks pregnant. Obviously 3 weeks off from my 20 week scan. Although I had the NIPT blood test that confirmed XX chromosomes (girl ) and the 12w6d nub is girly I’m convincing myself it was wrong.
I was told with DS2 in an early scan that he was a girl so I think that anxiety is coming back to me. It was pretty much what triggered GD in me. Thinking he was a girl till the 20 week scan.
Even though this is different because I actually have had a blood test that checks chromosomes !!!! I still am doubting it. My Fetal DNA was only 4% at 10 weeks in the sample blood. The lab tech said that was a fairly normal
Amount but since I have a higher BMI I’m scared that with the low percentage there could be higher false rate.
She told out of 20,000 people they only got 4 wrong. So that’s 0.02 percent wrong. I’m being so stupid but I can’t help it. I really can’t.
I’m considering getting a gender scan before my already very expensive 20 week scan. My husband thinks I’m insane.
Any words of encouragement ? Honestly my biggest worry is telling people I’m expecting a girl then it being false. Because I’m seeing everyone’s true reactions now. And I don’t want pity. ( and my obvious desire for a daughter since I’ve been swaying for a year ! )
Any words of wisdom ? Should I get gender scan or wait 3 weeks ? Seriously anxious over this. And feeling sick about it. I’ve convinced myself it’s not a girl.
Thanks so much
