Mommy2apples Thank you so much for always praying for me!! It really mean so much to me!
Greydore didn't realise u worked in a hospital- that's great 're the scrubs! Are u in a maternity hosp?(if be scanning myself every day [emoji4])
I've tried the trouser and loose top combo bit i think it makes me look bigger. It's probably all in my head. I do remind myself often of how lucky I am to have this "problem"

Congratulations Gwynn! Very happy for you.
So I received my blood test results and I'm having another boy. Feeling a bit down. I didn't sway that hard so I'm not too surprised. I hate that I'm feeling sad because some women can't even have children and I'm having a healthy beautiful baby boy. I should be fine in a few days and I still have hope for a girl as I can still fit in 1 more baby to the family so I'll sway really hard next time and then I'll call it quits at 4.
I really am happy for all of you ladies :)
JL7 congrats on your healthy baby boy! I know it’s a little disheartening when we don’t get the gender we were really hoping for, but once little guy is here it won’t even matter! The lord always has his reasoning for the gender he chooses for us and maybe he wants your little girl to have three strong brothers before she makes her appearance!

I’m an L&D nurse :) I haven’t scanned myself yet, but plan to this week if we aren’t too busy. Our machine is only used to determine fetal position so it’s not as detailed as the ones at the doctors offices. So we’ll see if I can even tell what’s what.Quote:

Mommy2apples that's really sweet, thank you :)
Greydore yeah I know that's so true! Yeah I told the hubby and he was a little sad but he's super excited about having 3 boys haha. We told the boys and one is happy but the youngest was upset as he really wants a little sister but then again he wants a puppy, guinea pig and a rabbit so I'm sure he'll be fine hahaha.
Very welcome JL7! It’s okay to be sad too, I was sad for awhile with my 4th baby, but it did go away and I got excited! Now I couldn’t picture my life without him at all! My ornery little two year old was suppose to be in our family! The lord knew he was the perfect addition to our family!

JL7 congrats on your healthy baby boy. I know the disappointment when u want a particular gender. I really want a boy but I think it's a girl. This is us for us, 3 is our magic number. I also know that if it is a little girl she will be loved and will complete our family.
Greydore what's an l&d nurse? Fair play to u- I am in awe at all your amazing people who can do that job. I would seriously live in that machine!!
Had a scan today. All is great thank god!! But they brought my dates forward following scan last week?! I am 13+2 by early scan dates but they now say I'm 13+6 ? Is this not a bit strange? I've never had my dates changed before?

I just got my NIPT tesults back. It’s a GIRL!!!! I’m so happy I’m shaking and crying. I was going to be team green, but when I was checking the rest of the results it was hard to miss GIRL!!! written across the page in hot pink marker. LOL
Bunnygirl!! I’m beyond the moon excited for you!! Congrats! Adding it now!!

Congrats bunnygirl!! So excited for you!

Thanks everyone! I’m planning on going shopping tonight so I can make a gender reveal gift bag for my husband to find out. He’ll be so relieved. LOL
Lol bunnygirl I think my husband is relieved too

Not a midwife, just a nurse :)Quote:

Dating scans are most accurate before 11 weeks, after that the margin of error is much wider and fetuses start to grow at different rates. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

DreamingRainbow, I will be using progesterone the whole pregnancy since it’s twins. :). Cute baby bump!!!! Keeping my fingers crossed for a boy for you!
JL7, I’m sorry you didn’t get the gender results you were hoping for! Congratulations on having a healthy baby boy though! I’m so glad your husband is excited, and your little boys sound so very cute!
DreamingRainbow, Sounds like you have a nice healthy growing baby in there!
Bunnygirl, Congratulations!!!! Woohoo!
Congrats on your baby boy JL7!!! Such a blessing! I want a boy so bad :-)Quote:

My doctor insists Harmony only has a .4% inaccuracy for gender and that internal statistics (I’m through an HMO) only show one wrong gender result not related to another genetic disorder out of over 30,000 tests they’ve ordered.
Those Debbie downers need to keep their opinions to themselves! So excited for your baby girl! Even when I got my ultrasound you always have that one person that says what if parts are hiding [emoji849]

Welp, she's wrong. I have read those posts and you will find that many of them are not even about the NIPT tests (they did "Sneak Peek" which is not a NIPT and is unreliable) or they did the test too soon or they are going off an ultrasound and believing the ultrasound instead of the blood test. Rarely, the baby ended up having something wrong with it.Quote:

I have never questioned them before, so I’m not sure why her comments bothered me. The test was “wrong” with my twins, but because it turned out the nurse ordered the test too early and there wasn’t enough DNA to test, not actually a wrong result. When the test was repeated at the correct timeframe it was right. The only other “wrong” I knew of was a coworkers daughter’s test, but it was actually something wrong with the baby and his Y chromosome (a microdeletion I think) when further testing was done. I feel pretty confident I’m having and girl and went shopping for her. I decided to give her a unicorn theme. :)
Bunnygirl I’m sorry your friend said those things, but she’s wrong. The new NIPT tests have great accuracy and are actually becoming more recommended now than the traditional first and second trimester screenings due to their high rates of accuracy. It’s not surprising that you might get a false result if the test is too early, either. I would be confident in your results, and enjoy shopping for your girl!

Totally concur with the girls comments above. My consultant was "the" consultant for conducting nuchal tests in my hospital for years. It was he who recommended the harmony test due to its high accuracy and conclusive results. Happy shopping for your daughter !

How’s everyone feeling? Anyone bought any cute clothes for their little ones yet?

Mlka, I'm so crossing my fingers and toes for a boy for you honey!
BunnyGirl, Unicorns sounds adorable!!!!
I bought a few to do a gender reveal for my husband, but no real shopping yet. I’m making lists of things I like or hope to be able to make. My free time is extremely limited so I probably won’t have time to make much of anything, though. I picked out a name for her, and her nickname. DH and I haven’t discussed names yet so I hope he doesn’t poo-poo it on me.
It’s rough when they disagree for sure!
Eek will you share her name?

I’ve also bought her stroller, car seat, bassinet, and swing so far.

I want to name her Felicity Grace. I’ve loved it for a long time and DH had deemed it tolerable for the twins last time if they had both been girls. I told him if we ever had another girl I wanted to use it. He had said we were done with kids so I should save it for a pet someday. LOL! When I found out I was pregnant I started seeing that name a lot and thinking it meant I was having a girl. The same thing happened with both of my other girl pregnancies and the names I’d wanted to use were not at all common.
We have plenty of baby gear left over so I just need to buy her some clothes, blankets, etc. I bought her Build-A-Bear already, her lovey, and her Wubbanub. I’ll probably hold off a bit deciding what other essentials to get once I get her some blankets, but keep making lists.
I love that bunnygirl! That’s a for sure sign it’s meant to be! Aww I hope he does agree!
Yes! Good idea Bunnygirl! We’ve had boys the last 5 years, I’ve not had a girl in 9 years! I was too excited not to buy girl stuff! Have had boy things for way too long.
