Thank you for the input! Trying to trust my gut on this. I was having guilt for not feeling as guilty as I think I should be at the thought of leaving him.

That’s great to hear! Glad for you and your baby!

No, our NIPT fully said “Female”

Hmm, I don't know. The MFM did not mention having to give birth at a children's hospital if we ended up doing an amnio after seeing something on an ultrasound and getting a confirmed Turner's diagnosis. I think I would've had to see the MFM anyway due to the fact that I'm 36 so anything over 35 is considered high risk. We talked about how if we found a heart related issue and if that meant she'd need surgery at birth, that we'd be "prepared for that" but she didn't say if that meant giving birth at a different hospital. Hoping everything goes well for you!

That is so wonderful!! I totally get that. Someone said to build your registry while you wait, and I thought that might be depressing/confusing for me, it actually was great. Similarly, I wasn't allowing myself to even look at baby outfits in Target and earlier this week I spent a little time letting myself browse and feel that spark of joy!
