Wife Upset About Pregnancy

You are married, in your 30s, and have a normal, healthy pregnancy, and she works from home. Is her “worry” really escalated to the point you need to post on a forum about it?


OP can post what he wants. This forum is open to anyone. You, however, can decide to skip over the topics you don’t like. You do not get to dictate who posts what on here.

OP here. She is 16 weeks pregnant and no. We would never consider any other option besides keeping our child. He was unexpected but a wonderful gift.


Troll. You don’t find out the gender until 20 weeks.


OP here. You can figure out the gender earlier. We found out at 8 weeks.


Insurance doesn't cover that blood test unless you are over 35


OP here. I never said it did. We have paid for multiple tests out-of-pocket.


I call troll. The out of pocket cost for that test if insurance doesn't cover it is thousands of dollars. No one would do that just to find out the gender a few weeks earlier.


Had a kid at 30 in 2017 and one at 32 in 2019. Insurance didn’t cover but I paid $300 out of pocket each time

No its not, I paid $100. Under 35. No need for the test other than that I wanted to know the gender. Most OB offices have agreements with a lab.

As a woman who had three HORRIFIC pregnancies and who's husband watched on in pained empathy as I endured months and months of vomiting and needles and physical therapy (ie, therefore someone you would think would be most irked by the 'we' thing) I think the we argument is really dumb. Anyone strenuously making arguments for or against it is being silly, its a turn of phrase.

OP your wife should be fine but is a nervewracking thing to be 16 weeks pregnant with your first even when the world hasn't gone to hell. Just be supportive, and take half the night time wake ups when the baby is born.


At 32, I was told unless I have a medical reason or are over 35, insurance wouldn't authorize and cost would run $5000


Yeah that’s the rack rate that’s not actually what they charge you. Go look at the natera website for ex- if your insurance rejects the claim then they bill you $300
