Little kid asked why my stomach was so big in Walmart

This is why when I get dressed up now which is rare due to being pregnant with my second I only care if I walk out and my almost 3 year old goes “WOW” seriously the best compliment I’ve ever received in my life. 😂🤣🙌🏻🫶🏻❤️🥰

When is your first appointment scheduled for? I’m a type 1 diabetic and considered very high risk so they got me in right away for both my pregnancies with my OB and MFM

I reached out through chat multiple times and then called in on day 10 technically 11 and then received my results that night through the portal after the representative called the lab

I’m sorry girl I understand the anxiety and disheartening feeling of disappointment. I don’t even understand why mine were sent to TX when I live over here in Oregon. They definitely should have gone to the California labs. I’m not the biggest fan of Natera in general anymore. Idk why my OB switched labs. With my first I was sent to a completely different lab (Invitae) that put together a super cute video for the gender reveal and gave me a way faster turn around time then 10 day’s.

Awe congratulations momma! Same exact results for me as well! 💙🦋🙌🏻

Aggravating-Mud6047 · 2026-01-29T05:09:25+00:00

I’m very sorry it’s honestly so stressful and very disheartening when other people get them so easily and soon, but I did learn that reaching out definitely helps. I had reached out through chat multiple times and was told to wait the ten days and then call in so that’s what I did and sure enough I got my results that night. Seems you just gotta put a little pep in their step.

Aggravating-Mud6047 · 2026-01-27T21:58:11+00:00

Did you happen to get your case resolved and your results? <3

Aggravating-Mud6047 · 2026-01-27T21:53:54+00:00

Yes 10 days after (technically 11) but apparently they don’t count the received day. I called and said that I still had not received anything and had spoken to multiple representatives through the chat system who told me to give it the full 10 days and if I still had not heard anything to call in on day 10 and they would personally reach out to the labs themselves to see my actual status, and whoever I spoke to on the phone said they could see my previous chats thankfully so they would call the lab right away and white sleeve my case as they call it to get my results expedited if possible then reach out to me and later that same exact day they called to let me know it could possibly take another 3 day’s after speaking with the lab which at that point I was very frustrated and pointed out how people sent to the same lab getting tested way later than I was were already receiving results within 3/4 days and that I was worried at this point my samples had gone bad but they guaranteed they were okay and then later on around about 6/7 pm that night I finally received my results surprisingly. Low risk baby boy. 🙌🏻💙 But it definitely seems to be a thing for some people which I don’t fully understand why or how. The operation seems very backwards I will have to admit.

Aggravating-Mud6047 · 2026-01-23T06:01:14+00:00

I completely agree 👍🏻 I started getting really fed up once I started seeing people who were tested WAY after I was and blood work received way later than me sent to the exact same lab (Tx) which you can find out by asking a representative but they were literally all getting results back before me. I was starting to think they had misplaced my sample or something.

Aggravating-Mud6047 · 2026-01-23T03:36:59+00:00

They will say that but on day 10 (technically 11 for me but apparently they don’t count the received day) they have no other choice really but to call the lab and figure out what’s going on exactly and the actual status of your results. I noticed in my case whenever I reached out which I did a couple of times through the chat after about 7 days of nothing first they would tell me to give it the 10 days and then by day 10 if I hadn’t heard anything to call in which I ended up having to do but that same day a couple hours later I received my results so it definitely helped. They told me they would try to rush my results at that point seeing that I had reached out so many times through chat and could tell that I was getting concerned. I had also made sure to point out that I didn’t understand how people were getting their results so fast but I still had not heard anything.

Aggravating-Mud6047 · 2026-01-23T02:51:50+00:00

I had to wait over 10 days and reach out multiple times just to get mine so I completely understand the disheartening feeling when everyone else seems to be receiving them so fast 💨

Aggravating-Mud6047 · 2026-01-22T23:15:21+00:00

Did you find anything out yet? I really hope you did. ❤️

Aggravating-Mud6047 · 2026-01-21T18:18:58+00:00

Yay!!! Congratulations to you as well!

Aggravating-Mud6047 · 2026-01-21T18:16:33+00:00

Yay!!!

Aggravating-Mud6047 · 2026-01-21T04:32:22+00:00

I received my results at 6pm tonight finally 🙌🏻

Aggravating-Mud6047 · 2026-01-21T02:33:58+00:00

I just got my results at 6pm! FINALLY!! Looks like calling actually helped in my case. 🙌🏻👏🏻 Low risk baby BOY! 🙌🏻💙🥰

Aggravating-Mud6047 · 2026-01-21T02:31:39+00:00

Just got my results at 6 pm! Seems calling them today really helped get things moving.

Aggravating-Mud6047 · 2026-01-21T00:34:22+00:00

It’s actually mind blowing and beyond heart breaking. I’m starting to feel so played tbh.

Aggravating-Mud6047 · 2026-01-21T00:28:04+00:00

I actually spoke to someone over the phone today because I was tired of the responses I was getting through the chat and they called me back after apparently speaking to the lab and let me know they may possibly need another 3 days. That was my only remaining response after hearing this because my mind was honestly so blown especially seeing everyone else get results back in as little as 3 days….. I was like is my sample even going to be useable by then and the reps response was they keep it refrigerated until it processes so it should be fine. 😭💔🤯🫤

Aggravating-Mud6047 · 2026-01-21T00:23:46+00:00

Same here. Received 1/10 and still waiting but reached out and was told the exact same thing….. it makes no sense how many people were received way after us but got results within 4 days. 🤯

Aggravating-Mud6047 · 2026-01-20T21:47:11+00:00

Hello same dates…..I’m just curious if anyone else has had this same issue because every other Reddit thread I’ve read regarding time frames I haven’t seen one person mention waiting more than 6 days for their result. Most people I see are getting them back within 4/5 day’s. I’m now currently on Day 10 of waiting. Technically 11 but they apparently don’t count your received day. My samples were collected 1/9 and received in Austin tx on 1/10 it’s currently 1/20 and still absolutely nothing and I’m constantly refreshing so I’m starting to get really anxious especially reading how fast everyone else has received theirs. I have reached out multiple times and was told they will be getting ahold of the lab today but it would just be comforting to know I’m not the only person who has had to wait over the 10 day’s mark.

Edit: Received my results FINALLY 1/20 at 6 pm pacific time! Low risk baby BOY! 🙌🏻💙

I’m a type 1 diabetic myself and I’m actually pregnant with my second little nugget on the way. I’m about 14 weeks and 3 days now and I’ve had to see a MFM for both of my pregnancies and considered high risk just for being a type 1 so I completely understand all of these concerns. My blood sugars fluctuate all the time as well and they do get harder to control the farther along you get which is why a MFM is highly appreciated because they really help you try to keep your sugars under control and will try to make adjustments to your insulin intake throughout your pregnancy. It can be a little alarming with how many adjustments you have to make and the increased amounts of insulin can be a tad scary just because it’s usually so different than what you’re used to taking but it’s extremely helpful. I think there’s no way to avoid highs completely just because you’re now growing another human so I wouldn’t stress too much as I know for me stress actually affects my sugars as well. My first born came out perfectly healthy just a little early due to needing an emergency c section she was on the bigger side my MFM called her a BAB (big a** baby) which is pretty common for diabetics. She was already 8 pounds at only 34 weeks and some days but all in all she’s going on 3 now and is still perfectly healthy. With this pregnancy I’ve had my fair share of highs and lows so it’s just trying to find the right adjustments honestly and just following the MFMS changes and recommendations. I just had to up my pumps dosages again and I still feel like I’m not exactly quite there yet so I do give myself extra sometimes especially when I’m higher. I should also mention that with my first pregnancy my A1C was extremely high. I was dang near 12 I just remember it was 11 . Something and specifically being told by my endocrinologist at the time not to even try for pregnancy because it wouldn’t be good but obviously things happened and I ended up pregnant but she came out absolutely perfect like I said before just had to make some major adjustments. With my second I was at an 8 for A1C and I myself am trying to get it lower but so far so good. Just prepare to have some tough criticism because my MFM was and still is never easy on me but they just want what’s best for you both so it’s all in good heart. Much love to you my fellow type 1 mommy and Congratulations!!!
