So on Saturday I got a missed call from a doctor and then a text message asking me to book a repeat blood test and urine sample , this is surprising since I’ve not had a blood test for at least 3 years and haven’t had a urine test recently either , I rang on Monday and spoke to a doctor who was talking about results...

I did NIPT and I got female but the fetal fraction was really low at only 3.2% , my boys was always 7% and above and also I did sneak peek at 9 weeks and it said boy , I did SNAP! The hands free device which sneak peak says little to no male contamination

Anyone experiencing super fussiness around the 9 week mark?

Was diagnosed with gestational hypertension at 28 weeks and was sent to the maternity center for monitoring. I was told that I’ll need to monitored weekly.

My blood pressure has been raised for my past three midwife appointments. Today it was 138/96 and I'm being sent for some further monitoring at the hospital.

Finally reached the 13week mark today and officially in second trimester.
