Since my doctor doesn’t do NIPT for multiples I caved and did a Sneak Peek test even though I know they are very unreliable and wrong a lot. I got my result this morning saying girl. I’m praying that I’m one of the lucky ones with accurate results and it means both twins are girls. :pray::pray::pray:
My Doctor told me i am in the normal range for the test. Also had a NT today and it all looks good for Down syndrom etc. :))
My husband and I are opening the envelope tonight to find out gender im so excited I can't wait!
Good morning! Our test results are in!
We swayed boy and we are having a boy!!!
We are very excited!
Wishing all you ladies a quick healthy pregnancy with the gender you wish for!
That's great news treen enjoy ur pregnancy [emoji4]

I am 12 weeks 3 days.
It is quieter!!
I feel really good, how are you feeling jconger?
We still haven’t told anyone yet it’s so hard!! Have you
Almost 9 weeks. I’m not positive on when I ovulated. My cycle was still adjusting from nursing when we conceived. I may be 9 weeks now lol. We will find out in a little over a week when we get our first ultrasound. I’ve been feeling way more nauseas. I’m taking diclegis and still feeling yucky here and there. It is much better now though with the helps of meds. I can at least function with my 4 other kids lol. Our immediate families know but not too many people outside of that. We have 4 girls already so we might not share on social media until we find out the gender or even birth. I’m tired of hearing everyone’s opinions and pity for having all the same gender or having so many kids. It’s annoying [emoji23]

Oh HUGE congratulations to you Treen!! Such wonderful news. Have you told your other children yet ?
Bunny girl, I really hope it is accurate for you. Did you do the clinical or at home test?
I’m 8 weeks right now, I have my first prenatal appointment and I’ll know for sure how far alone I am
hopefully on Tuesday. Rather nervous, and I’m going to find out if they can offer the NIPT test and gender for me, if they can I won’t cave into a clinical gender blood test! I don’t have any clinics that offer sneakpeak near me I do have the clinical peekaboo. But I’ve heard mixed stuff about peekaboo. I would always do clinical I’m sure less chance of contamination.
Anyone done or know of anyone get an accurate a clinical sneakpeak or peekaboo?

Ladies, do you pay for NIPT test or is it covered by your social insurance?
I'm currently 10 weeks and since they have told twins, I don't think that i can do TIPT.
Jconger- that is totally understandable, Girls are amazing though and a healthy child is what is important. But I really hope you get your little fella :))
afya1- We have not told anyone except for medical professionals that need to know. Its kinda nice being the only ones. I know my youngest daughter will be so happy she has been asking for a brother forever and her friend just got one so she is even more wanting one. My older 2 i think don't think i need any more lol but they will love him
rahaye-raha- We have to pay here it was $550 you can get some extra tests for more but this is what we opted for.
Where is everyone from?
Just the regular version. I have friends who work in a lab that have said that the claims of “wrong due to contamination” are fake, that what they are actually looking for is different than what you’d get from any sort of contamination anyway. For what it’s worth, I’ve seen lots of reviews from wrong results doing it both at home and in a clinic, so I’m considering it just for fun.
thanks for your reply. in sweden basic NIPT test is around 500$(US).
I am from Sweden :)
I am from Canada. All last week we made new records for the coldest days.... With and without windchill it was -40to -62 farenhiet. Its hard to even comprehend it it was crazy. Better this week slowly but by Sunday its going to be 32. Its super hard to deal with ahhah
Has anyone stared thinking names?
I’m from Oregon. I haven’t had power since Friday night due to an ice and snow storm. PGE says it could take up to 10 days to get power back. My mother invited herself over when her power went out and acted like a damned psycho yelling at my kids and calling them names. Me and DH, too. When she started kicking my dog and smacking the kids, I threw her out. She told me what a horrible mother I was and how I never should have had any kids. Then told me it would be my fault if she starved and froze to death at her own house because she had no electricty.......as if it’s not the exact same situation at my house with no electricity. LOL
Im sorry to hear that Bunnygirl19. some people don't know how to handle stressful situations. You had every right to kick her out.
I just read this moring that SASKpower our power company is delivering enough electricity for tens of thousands of homes as U.S. systems strain under cold conditions. :) Hope you get your power pack soon!

I hope you’re all staying safe and warm!!
We are discussing names but honestly having a hard time; definitely a harder time than when we named our boys. There’s a lot of girl names we like, but I don’t know if I like anything enough to use it for our baby. My sister died when she was 7, so we will definitely be using her name for the middle name. Anyone else thinking of anything yet?
We like the names:
Kingston
Cassius
Draxler
Darius
Atlas
Ramses
We are still looking but this is what we have so far :)) What do you guys think?
I like Kingston and Darius best!
Up till very recently Ramses was a pretty well known brand of condom in the US!
Just had another scan today at 9w5d. Both babies measured 9w3d with heart rates of 174. The both also had anterior midline placentas.
@Treens, that actually made me laugh reading about your older two thinking you don’t need anymore kids! Lol. Really happy for your little daughter. When I had my DS, my eldest was forever asking for a brother. I kept it a surprise up until the day he was born.
Now both of my girls want another sister...
Does anyone believe in the Ramzi theory?!!
So I caved in yesterday, I had my 8 week scan and sent my scan pic in to the gender experts and Baby gender pros.. they’ve all guessed girl... I wanted to know if you guys every tried it??
I’m from New York, we’re expecting a full day of snow here tomorrow! Hope your all keeping safe.
P.s. I’ve attached my little bubs first scan pic.

Oh no!! I’m so sorry! Where in Oregon are you? We have lots of friends in Salem and Portland and they were without power. So tough! I heard Texas too and they are not use to the temperatures they are getting right now.
We are from Seattle but are living in Utah now. We finally got some good snow. We are prepared for it here though so that makes a difference. Wild how the whole country got hit!
I have tried to believe the ramzi theory but i thought it has been debunked? Is that right atomic?
Have not thought of names bc I really don’t want to get my hopes up, and I don’t know how i could possibly name a fifth girl lol.
Have you ladies been right with your inclination about your baby’s gender? I’ve wanted a boy so badly every time that I convinced my self the last two were boys and then struggled when they weren’t. I just don’t want to play mind games but I do feel like this could finally be our little man.
So glad to see this group is finally chatting more!! Yay! Thank you

Atomic- LOL about the condoms, that one is my least favourite but my husband loves it. Maybe this can sway him to no lol
BunnyGirl19- Thats so awesome on your twins. When are you due again?
Afyaal- I know nothing about Ramzi but I love the photos of your little bean!
Jconger- We waited to look at names till we knew it was a boy. I didn't want to get my hopes up. I felt like it was a boy but we did try so hard so I think thats why I thought it was, but i did sway in my thoughts some times. I think it was because I don't want to feel to hurt. I would have been happy either way but I know i would have been sad for a while.
Today we are officially in the 2nd trimester :) Can't Believe we have kept it a secrete this long. We are going to try hold out till March 20, first day of spring and my MIL Birthday. She will be so happy. My husband it her oldest son and has wanted babies from him since i met him LOL. They are a very loving kind Mexican family. For my family I know they think i don't need to start over again with young kids but they will be happy if we are. I haven't seen my parents or brother since October as they live 3 hours from here. So it may be a phone call. They are trying to stay quarantined or away rom people as my mom just had breast cancer about a year ago and my dad is 80.
anyway! Hope you are all having an amazing day :)
I live in a Portland suburb. We finally got power back late last night. No internet or cable yet.
Ramzi is definitely debunked. He never published a study and another study that tried to duplicate it got results ranging from 51% to 57% accuracy. To further prove he is a quack, he also claims babies can change gender up to 40 days after implantation by placing heat on a certain side of your belly. LOL
My intuition is usually wrong.
We get to see bb tomorrow for the first time! Does anyone else get nervous? This is the longest I’ve waited to go in. I had a mc after my first daughter and ever since have always gone in around 7 weeks. We are 10 now and I’m just so nervous lol. I want to see that heartbeat but part of me is also scared to hear it’s high like all of my girls and probably another girl... even though this doesn’t mean anything lol. We are also trying to decide if we should do the blood test. I know knowing or not knowing the gender doesn’t change the gender but I’d like to think for just a little longer that we could possibly have a boy. I know it is *possible* but in my mind I’ve always wanted to hear boy and it’s always been girl... so I keep telling myself to be prepared to hear girl. I just needed to share since no one really understands these things but this group. [emoji170]

Good luck!! :)
We have two boys. Pregnant with number three and definitely last baby. We decided this time to stay team green! ItÂ’s hard but i think it will be a nice surprise either way. Of course we would love to have a girl (girl sway) but we will be happy either way! :)
I hope your appointment goes great today! Wishing you a healthy baby boy :)
I also have a regular doctors appointment today, excited to hear the heart beat!
where you guys live are you aloud to take husbands or someone or do you have to do it alone? In Canada we have to be alone.
I got all my first trimester labs drawn today. They are only doing the standard screen instead of NIPT due to it being unreliable for multiples. They did have the option to still look for Y chromosome along with the screen, so we’re doing that, too.
We saw the baby Monday and he/she was measuring 2 days earlier than I was thinking. Hopefully that meant we had more bding during our peak window than I had thought since this was a surprise baby. I definitely ovulated sooner than I was expecting but if this is the case it would have been something like 6, 5, 4, 3 and 1 day before ovulation vs thinking i only had 1, maybe 2 days during the peak. This was definitely different from getting pregnant with any of my girls. [emoji1695] [emoji170] we are waiting for the 20 week ultrasound to find out.
May I ask you all, what do you drive? This will be baby #5 and we live in Utah. I want something good in the snow but something bigger than our mini van. Thanks!!

Jconger- praying for Blue for you :))
I have a KIA Sorento. I love it! I have had it for 5 years now and it has been my favourite car. It has 3rd row seating too. When I was looking back then I went all over looking at everything with a 3rd row, I didn't really like the KIA brand maybe i was a brand snob back then but I am defiantly glad i went with it. Lots of great features and a bit cheeper than others. Quality is amazing :)) At least take one for a test drive, the heated steering wheel and heat/cooling seats are the best and the sunroof is huge!
Good luck!!
I got to hear the heartbeat on Monday, I took a sound clip for my husband because he cant come into my appointments. Rate was 140. Such a great sound! I also started to feel slight movement at 13w 4d. I am now 14w 1d. So cool too. Our bodies are amazing!!
Our only “family car” That holds all of us is a 15-passenger Ford Transit. Otherwise we have a Mazda RX-8, a Mercedes E63 AMG wagon, and a Porsche Macan GTS. We used to have a Yukon, and we loved it until it started having weird problems. Brake linkage broke and the lines exploded for no reason that could be determined. Then we had a ton of electrical issues. These issues were all common in the year we had (first year of new updates), but I don’t know about other years.
Ohhh gosh. We’ll be looking into buying a bigger car too. My 3 kids have been fairly cosy in the Acura RDX I drive, but with the 4th one on the way, we need something with a 3rd row. I’m not a huge fan of big cars but I’m sure I’ll get use to it.
For those ladies who have had the NIPT test done, how long did it take for you to get results back? I was told within 10-14 days I’d be receiving a phone call. I’ll be going tomorrow to have blood drawn.

afya1- mine took 2 weeks exactly! Felt like forever... They they forgot to give gender so I had to wait for them to get back to me on day 16. But it was worth it :)) Im in Canada though they told me 7-10 days
