Genetetic testing- I am rather against it and have not had it for any of my children. Only reason I would do it now if I did is 100% for gender which I have never found out either. At least now the newer harmony and tests like it seem to have a much lower rate of false positives.

We're close enough to tolerate each other for the older boys (20 & 15). My ex and I don't speak much aside from text but he recently lost his dad (my older boys grandpa) so that's been sad for him and the boys. We have zero in common otherwise and he doesn't know I'm pg. it's completely random that he sent it. No one knows I'm pg aside from this forum and BFF. Partly why I'm disconnected also I would imagine.

Junie, I can't wait for your results, I'll be praying that everything turns out good. Also, OT but I can't stop staring at your signature. Those two little smileys remind me so much of my boys. Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones but I'm sitting here thinking I would love another little boy that loves trucks, dinosaurs, airplanes, and most of all their mama. :) I'm just thankful to add another LO to our bunch. I'm sure that's how we all feel, regardless of the gender. I know the baby's health was definitely something that made me nervous, because I figured after two healthy pregnancies I was "due" for some complications. So far it's been good so let's just keep praying for healthy LOs for everyone!!

ETA: Just to clarify, I meant the pregnancy hormones are what's making me react so strongly to little smileys, ...it sorta sounded like I was saying the hormones were the only reason I was hoping for a boy.

Agree. I've never had a false positive but knew if I did have one that the only option to be sure would be amnio and that's scares me. Remind me your age again Junie? I'm 39, so it does put me closer to the age that the risks are higher.
And it is a personal choice. As is everything we do in pregnancy and child care too.
This is a support forum, you'll only ever get support from me - never judgement.

I agree Junie. I wouldn't do the amnio either. Def. A personal choice that each of us have our own pros and cons for:) I'm of "advanced" maternal age lol and I was with my last one too:)

Should I be worried?

How are you feeling HealthyG?

I'm 29 so not high risk at all but I mean the chances of having a missed miscarriage so late after also seeing a heartbeat were very very low too so now I'm just open to the possibility of everything- although I'll admit that if gender wasn't included in the test I don't think I would have done it! Just the first trimester screening.

Like all of us here I have a lot of feelings when it comes to gender and I just want to 100% know and move on with love for whatever sex child is coming. The sooner the better ;)

For those of you who might possibly be having a 2nd boy I just have to say that if it does happen that it can be so darn sweet watching them together. My sons are like each others biggest fans and especially now that they're a bit older (3 and 5 1/2) they play together so well and in fact their favorite thing to do is sleep together in a sofa bed and pretend they are having a sleepover with each other. It is really really wonderful. Of course my pregnancy hormones are making me feel a bit emotional at the moment :)

Wow this thread is moving so fast.
I'm doing well hitme. Still no symptoms except for sore boobs and occasional stomach cramping at night when I toss and turn.
My ultrasound is scheduled for this Friday.

Junie glad to hear how your 2 boys are together. That's pretty sweet.

It really helps when you guys talk so fondly of seeing your boys together. I have often thought of what it would be like to see my ds with his brother and it does make me feel positively about it. I love having a boy so I know I would equally love 2. I love the way he lines up all his cars and trucks and he's obsessed with dinosaurs and any type of lorry or digger! Love <3

I know you guys have heard me yammer about this before but there is something amazing about having 2 boys. I will forever be thankful for my "two pairs". :heart:
