I lost one baby to Down's syndrome at 14 weeks three years ago, so I'm considered high risk, plus I'm in my mid 30s. Also, after three boys(and the Angel was also a boy), I have been very anxious about the gender this time. I would love a girl, as this will probably be our last child. Anyway, I decided to sign on here tonight because my Progenity results should be in as soon as tomorrow or by the end of this week. I may need some gender disappointment support this time if I hear boy. It's strange how it dos not really bother me much in my previous 4, but maybe with this being our possibly last baby, I'm trying not to get my hopes up and being prepared mentally. I did get 11 week ultrasound. The nub is pretty blurry but the chin is pointy from the front (skull theory would say girl for that, but it's not reliable) and the side view is blurred at the forehead no because I think baby was moving, so that wouldn't really be worth guessing on, either. Plus, like I said, the results will be in this week. I'll be 12 weeks on Wednesday.
Sorry I went missing in action for so long. I hope you all understand and I know that I can feel supported, whatever the outcome of my tests show. Unlike in the real world. People will judge us all based on what gender our children are and more and yet we cannot be open about how we feel about it:( so, thanks in advance for having me back in the mix.
Best wishes for all and feel free to send me some positive thoughts and prayers for healthy and pink this time. Thank you all and congrats on all of the good news I've been trying to catch up to on here! Two sets of twins, I see also! How wonderful and I'll catch up on the rest as well! Thank you all or being here. I'm so glad to have found this site.
