October 2013 babies!

I had my Mat21 blood draw Monday so I should know by April 1 They said they will call as soon as results come in so could be sooner.

Thanks to your exciting news I just called my office to see about having the test done! They do it where I go!!! I just need to convince my doctor to go for it. She's been my doctor for 9 years and we have a good relationship, so I'm hoping she'll agree.

I just got the call from the drs and baby is healthy... and a GIRL! Super in shock. Need to think of a cute way to tell my mom on Easter (she has 5 grandchildren all boys and wanted a girl more than me I think)- excited to tell people now and stop hiding my growing stomach!

Congratulations!!!! That is so exciting!! It is funny my mother in law has 5 grandson too! Hope I can add a girl like you did!!

Oh, and I had a delivery dream with this one that when I gave birth it was a boy so phooey on that whole thing. Dreams are just a way of working out your fears and hopes IMO.
katie- good luck w/the doc. I can't see why they wouldn't do it as it is accepted by ACOG. My doc was actually excited that I asked.

Congrats, Strawberry!!!! I forget, what children do you currently have? How did you sway? Dying to know now!! I'm intrigued by the test...you said it was because of your age? I'm 34...wonder if my dr would go for it or not...?!? Did your doc suggest or did you ask for it?

That's awesome news Strawberrymom!

As far as the gas, I have it bad too. And stinky. Sometimes after I eat it's really painful too....

Congratulations Strawberrymom!! That is so unbelievably great!!

Gas is so, so horrible. I had to take Gas-x once, and it worked. It was listed as ok on my doc list of meds. It's way worse than my other pregnancies. Hoping it lets up in 2nd trimester

My doc office has a test like that too where I can find out gender-but it's called Harmony. I could have already taken it. Just trying to make sure we aren't going team green like with my two boys.

I have 2 sons ages 3 and 18 months. I did sway (was on le for 3¹/² mo and vitex among other things). I'll try to post sway soon. Anyone can have the test and I wanted it mostly because of my age (12 week screening would be skewed because of age and don't like risks of cvs and amnio). I did request it from my dr, but I e-mailed the office first to see if they would do it. I know there are 2 other companies Harmony (as ICB3 mentioned) and Verifi. I guess the Harmony now tells you gender also, but not certain that Verifi does.
