Due in March/April/May 2016

I just had the NT scan and bloods too babypink. We call it "combined screening" in NZ. With the scan they measure the amount of fluid behind the neck. This is often enlarged if baby has a chromosomal abnormality. With the bloods they check for a protein in the blood which can also be elevated with abnormalities. They put all your details (age, babies measurements etc) into a computer program and they just give you a degree of risk. Like 1 in 5000 I think I had with DS1.
It doesn't tell you gender or anything specific really. If you come out high risk then they offer you an amino here.

Oddly enough, the months where I had my miscarriages, the chart said girl. I felt that was the case both times. This thing is so weird! I almost wish I wouldn't have even looked at it!

I'm doomed to never give my DH a DD...

DS1[emoji125]🏼, DS2[emoji577], DS3[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170] Jan. '16 I'll sway for a DD[emoji166][emoji171][emoji166] for my DH!!

If I go by that gender calculator 2 of my boys should be girls and I'm pregnant with a boy lol. Actually I wouldn't mind that too much :P

Mine was right then wrong. But it says this should be a girl.

According to the Chart I should be carrying my 3rd boy.

Mine said girl for my ds and boy for this one. it's going to be right 50% of the time for everyone.

How do people manage walking about with a toddler and a newborn? Do you have buggy boards and do your toddlers behave with them? At the moment we walk but he's not walking too far so I bring the pram if we go on a longer trip. If he's playing up I just put him in the stroller and he settles once we set off usually. I have visions of being trapped inside once the new baby comes as it will be such a mission to get out with 2 babies especially if he's in one of those moods! I don't think he would behave and stand on a buggy board for too long..

I usually wear my newborn in a front carrier and push my toddler in a stroller/pram. I get so cooped up nursing a newborn that I have to get outside and walk/power walk most days so I don't get too stir crazy!!! I end up at a park to let my toddler play and bring either a blanket or a nursing cover in case I have to nurse the baby.

Me too!! My sweet boy is now measuring 3.5 weeks ahead [emoji16]! I haven't gained anymore weight, but he is rapidly growing/gaining. I hope he doesn't come too early, but I also don't want to deliver a huge baby! I've been spoiled to 6lbs 11/12oz with both DS1 and DS2! Ah well, it will be what it will be!!!

Wow time has flown!!!
Ya that chart is scaring me. I looked back and I think it was wrong for 1/4. I'm so nervous for blood work. I'm not gonna lie... I'm glad you pop in here now and again; when you see everyone getting their dg when they update their sways, it's comforting to know that your not alone getting opposites. I'm so sure I'll have another boy (with every wives tale against me too... Full moon & stupid Chinese calendar too)
