So we did the gender announcement on Saturday. We had a ton of people at my house for the birthday party of my youngest and decided to do it then. Apparently my mother in law bothered my husband so much because she is a whiney baby and feels like she had a right to know, he told her before hand to shut her up. So I am pissed. She claims she deleted the text. I don't believe her. Now I'm feeling even more secretive than ever. No one has a right to know anything. So I'm going to shut her completely out and see how she likes it. I'm ready for her to go home back to Washington, where she belongs. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...d9f78044f3.jpg

HI everyone. So I'm now a bit over 9 weeks and still debating on whether or not to do the panorama test this week. I'm fearful it's a boy. Extreme hunger has started this week. Bottomless pit in the evenings. Still have nausea but it's a bit better. I'm trying to stay hopeful. In reality it would take the same amount of calories to make a 7 lb baby girl as a 7 lb baby boy so hunger should be the same. I think my progesterone is going up and this could cause the hunger. I always get super hungry after ovulation for this reason. AH, not sure what to think or do...
What is the panorama test? I have never haard of it. ( perhaps it is something that is not done in The Netherlands)

It's a NIPT blood test that can be done as early as 9 weeks that can pull fetal dna from the mothers blood and tell gender and whether or not your baby has down syndrome etc. I think I'm going to go for it. I'm not sure if my anxiety over the gender will get worse or not if I wait. I dont want to obsess so much as I did with my 3rd son.
Okay nipt is not available here unless you have a high risk/ encreased chance for down syndrome etc. Otherwise you can not get it in the Netherlands you can hoe to Belgium but will have to pay for it. It is free of charge when you have encreased chance...

Same here. Not covered by healthcare unless you are high risk. My private insurance company will reimburse me though. It's $550 in canada.
Only $500 for me in BC. Still more than I could spend and didn't look into whether it could have been reimbursed.Quote:

Here they charge more then double that amount..... that's why I will wait till august first and pay around $ 80 to get a short ultrasound to reveal the gender.

In canada they wont do a gender ultrasound until 18-20 weeks. I'd likely just wait until 13 weeks like you if I could find out then by ultrasound. Are you hoping for a girl as well?
Yes hoping for a girl. This will be my first. My fiance already has 3 boys

And they do not do gender ultrasound every where op a few who are specialized.

Pink help, if you're planning on finding out the gender regardless, I say take the Panorama. Much better than driving yourself nuts for another 10 weeks, IMO. I had it done and was very thankful to know so early so I could put my mind at ease (or wrap my mind around another boy had it gone that way). I feel like it's so much more stressful playing guessing games and analyzing every symptom you come across. Best of luck to you and I hope you hear pink whatever you decide!!
Had my anatomy scan yesterday at 21 weeks and finally got some visual confirmation that baby still has girl parts:) I'm actually so glad we did the NIPT this time because her legs and arms were crossed blocking our view! I would have been really nervous trusting the gender from that appointment alone.
pinkin is your gender scan tomorrow ?
10 days till my 12w scan, hoping to see a very girl nub xx
Oh & my cousin had a baby girl today so has totally relighted my fire for that girl :DD::princess:
I cant get a gender scan until 16 weeks so 6 weeks to wait :holysheep:
Hi Sharon. It was booked for today but i canceled as it was causing too much stress between me and hubby. I see my usual ob on the 8th of august and she has an ultrasound machine do im going to just come out and ask can she tell me gender
Aw no way , wel i hope sh can tell u then xx

I feel really at ease about it all atm. Whatever gender is fine. I was nuts for about a week ha ha but its all calmed now thank god
I had the NIPT blood test yesterday. Results in about 10 days......We will be on holidays then so it might be a few extra days. I can't believe i might get to know this early! (as long as they get enough fetal dna)
Exciting stuff x

I've noticed a dark hair pop up on my chest and one on my tummy. I had that same random dark hair on my tummy when I was pregnant with my boys. :/ I just know this baby is a boy.
Ksmom, are you finding out Monday? Try not to read too much into symptoms. I hope you're mind will be put at ease soon
Hope you hear pink, pinkhelp!!
Oh i hope we all hear pink!

Not necessary ksmom. It may just be pregnancy hormones because I still get dark hairsQuote:

Ksmom hoping you hear pink! Can't wait for your results!
I went to a mfm last week he checked me out and said my cervix is completely normal and long and strong. Not sure if my reg doc will do another length check. But mfm said its perfectly fine and normal and so is my baby girl she is measuring 2 days ahead.
I also decided to try breastfeeding out! Well I am mostly going to pump and BF at night and while older two are at school. I been doing a ton of research and my insurance mays for the medela breast pump, I am so excited to experience it with my DD!
I am also trying to see if I should buy a belly band for my pelvic area, since my bones been bothering me. Doc said its completely normal and since its baby number 4. I hate taking Tyneol and all I do is lay down, not very active anymore.
Hope everyone is doing good!
I hope to breastfeed this time too princess mom. And I have the medela pump its awesome!!!! I pumped with ds1 as he wouldn't latch and ds2 would latch but had terrible reflux and I couldn't fill him up it was just an awful experience with ds2 until he was put on medication at 2 months. I had no help so I just gave up.. petty sad. But I hope to be able to get through it this time being my 3rd baby and a bit more confidence
Hope it better this time around pinkin!
I am really excited to try it out! It does seem like a lot more work to exclusive pump, I will see how my dd latches etc and go from there.
I been researching so much about it lately I become obsessive lol
I just wanted to chime in and say best of luck with breastfeeding. I've breastfed all of mine and will with this one. Not sure for how long. (11 months with first (and that was tooo long for me) then 7 months for the other two and that seemed about right for me) Also, I'll be getting some belly bands and hoping to get one with pelvic support too. With my second son, i tore my stomach muscles the whole way down (cant be fixed) so I really feel the weight of my belly when it grows and also i just plan to wear one after birth to help hold things in and hopefully lose the floppy belly faster. :)
It's nuts that I could know the gender this week! (if I chose to find out) I'm still thinking I"ll wait until we get back from holidays at this point. I have a prenatal check up tomorrow. I'll be 10 weeks so likely too early to hear the HB yet :)
It's a girl we got it comfirmed!!!! 😍😍😍

Wow so many girlies!!! Congrats!
She could not tell at first dispite my full bladder. (My uteris is tilted a bit backwards?) So she wanted me to pee and try again. That did not help at all so she did a vaginal ultrasound and we got an instant potty shot.
Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-G920F met Tapatalk
My uterus is tilted too but lucky i never had a problem with scan because of it. Problem I had with baby at 13 week scan is no matter what they tried she would not lie in the right position for the downs screening.xQuote:

Had my anatomy scan. Baby was upside down with legs tightly crossed and totally uncooperative. The tech had a hard time getting any measurements so we had to jiggle the baby around a bunch. lol Baby looks healthy and like I predicted, is a boy.
