Love it Unique! Glad to hear all went well xx

Liivy I like how you look at it. This baby definitely wasn't planned for us either so I'm trying to keep myself occupied to pass the time. Actually it has been going quicker than pregnancies usually do for me. If we were going to do a private scan I wanted to get it done around 14 weeks for - hopefully - a sneak peek at gender. It seemed so far away at one time... now it is only a couple weeks away and has me second guessing if I want to know gender after all LOL.
 
Unique- Love that pic, so adorable!
Alli- such good news!

We FINALLY got our results back from the NIPT test and luckily there are no chromosomal abnormalities so that is amazing! Secondly, we are having a GIRL! While we both really wanted a boy originally, we are so excited and now we know that in just 6 months we get to meet our sweet little girl! Now to start stalking girl nurseries and clothes.

Buffy- can you update my gender on the first page? :)
 
AWWW yay a girl! How exciting. Congrats :) And good news that there are no abnormalities either!
 
Still ages until my scan.. can't wait it's going so so slow.

I deffo don't want to find out gender but with everyone finding out so early it's making me want to.. this pregnancy is so so different from others I'm praying it's a girl this time
 
Fx you get your girl, glong! Sorry the wait is so long for you...I know the feeling.
 
Unique - Congrats!! I will update your new due date :)

JWC - Congrats on your girl!! I have changed your boy guess to a girl on the front page :flow:

I had my 12w scan on Tuesday (i was 13+2) and all went well :flower: We have announced and have had all good reactions.

My booking in appointment is today with the midwife, and I have my 20w scan booked for February 20th.
 
I just had my booking appointment and got moved forward to July 3rd instead of 8th :)
 
How do ya'll find out the gender so early? Is it a blood test? I think we are going to stay team yellow until due date. Excited for the announcement after all the hard work of delivery for my OH announcing
 
Yes Krockwell..it is a blood test that can tell you early on. We didnt do it. We will find out gender at our 20w scan.
 
That’s so exciting JCW! Congratulations on baby girl and no abnormalities! I didn’t know you could find out gender so early! :cloud9:
 
Ginaj and Krockwell- it's a blood test called NIPT (noninvasive prenatal test) that you can get as early as 10.5 weeks that checks for chromosomal abnormalities, trisomy 13, 18, and 21. Since they are already looking at your babies chromosomes they are able to see if they are a boy or girl. It is an elective test that usually isn't covered by insurance (at least for women under the age of 35 if I understand correctly) but for us it was worth it to know that the baby was healthy and to have the added bonus of knowing the gender :)
 
Do you guys do the NT scan in the States? That’s what they recommend here. Depending on your results (you also get a blood test) they assess your risk for abnormalities and if it’s high risk they’ll (meaning our provincial health care) will pay for NIPT or further tests like CVS or Amnio, I believe. Luckily we got low risk so I don’t have to do any tests but it means waiting for 20w to find out gender!

I had the choice of either. The normal NT test was covered by insurance but wasn't as accurate. I would say that most people I know go that route, very few I've known have actually chosen to pay out of pocket for the test that I got.
 
Congrats on team pink, JWC!

Alligator you are usually only offered the NT scan if you're over 30 here. At least that's how it is at my local practice. It might vary place by place though. Unfortunately for me my insurance doesn't cover it so I'm stuck paying out of pocket if I want a scan before 20 weeks :(
 
Ah that’s amazing. So exciting to know gender as well. We get the NT scan and bloods taken as standard here (UK) at 12 weeks but no offer of telling gender, then if come back as high risk we are offered amnioscentisis... In fact some hospitals won’t even disclose gender at the 20week scan!

Yes that's right, most will try and confirm gender however there is a hospital about 20 miles up the road from me, where by they will NOT confirm gender due to high levels of certain cultures in the area where certain genders would be terminated
