Nipt results without gender

Anyone else receive their nipt results without the gender being reported? Thankfully everything came back low risk but we were so excited to find out and are being told now it could take another 7 days to find out. Just wondering if anyone else experienced this or were we just unlucky? Not sure if it’s the fault of the clinic or the lab but we definitely said multiple times we’d like to know 🥲

Am I wrong for suddenly being stern with NK?

I’ve worked with this family for over a year now and I’m starting to feel burnt out due to G6 and her behaviour. She’s a very sensitive high needs child which I welcomed at first but as the months have gone on I’ve had to put my foot down. I used to do everything as soon as she would ask and would never correct her because it was just easier in the moment “I want juice” “put my shoes on” “I’m bored find me something to do” and recently I’ve started to say no. “You know how to put your shoes on yourself, you do it”. “You want juice? Okay what do you say first? Please ask me nicely”. “Find something to do yourself, you have a big imagination” etc. She obviously hates this turn of events and acts up, whines, grunts, cries but I’m not giving in (I’m also in first trimester hell right now so my patience is verrrry low).

This morning she almost missed the bus to school because I refused to put on her shoes so then obviously she had to refuse and cry and make a big thing of it. I straight up told her I would walk out the door and go home and she could figure it out herself. Of course as soon as the bus turned up she shoved them on and ran. I hate this new dynamic we have and it actually makes me dislike being around her. She’s an iPad kid who gets whatever she wants and gets coddled by her parents so obviously I can’t fix that damage, but it still used to be fun to hang out with her. Now I dread it and feel like a failure because I don’t have the desire to pander to her. Is there a better way to handle all of this? Is there anything I can do? I’m on the verge of quitting.

EDITED TO ADD: I cannot edit my post title for some reason. I used the word suddenly but this has definitely been more of a gradual change over the course of about 6 weeks. Maybe that feels sudden to a 6 year old but this was not an overnight change, I promise.

Taken off meds cold turkey due to pregnancy..

I (34F) was taken off Tyvense 50mg about 5 weeks ago now. No support at all from my psychiatrist, just “no adhd meds are safe during pregnancy please stop them immediately”. Safe to say I’m struggling immensely. Between pregnancy fatigue and adhd fatigue I can barely lift a finger. I still have to be present in my life and my job. I’m wondering if anyone else has been in the same boat and if any natural supplements help take the edge off? Or if your doctor was able to prescribe a safe alternative? Any help is greatly appreciated 🥲
