Hey what to expect at my first midwife appointment? I will be going alone, hubby will be stuck with work..
Has anyone else had this? Had my 25/28 week appointment this week where I was actually 26+5 and they took my bloods to check for anaemia. I got an automated text message from my GP surgery saying my WBC is slightly elevated and likely due to a limiting illness, repeat in 4 weeks. Haven’t heard anything from my midwife though? Or on my app. I think the ranges for WBC’s is higher in pregnancy so not sure if the GP surgery is looking at them as though I’m not pregnant? Never had results from the surgery. Always through my midwife or badger notes app!
I am 37w +3 have been drinking over a gallon of water a day + Gatorade. Does anyone feel like that even drinking over a gallon of water? I don’t know how to quench my thirst at this point. I fear I developed gestacional diabetes. My test at 28 weeks was negative though. Does anyone feel like that?
Hi all, I have been diagnosed with GD at 26 weeks, and I have been controlling the sugar levels quite well for 2 weeks, now I am reaching 29 weeks but in the last three days fasting levels are in the range of 5.3-5.8 so they have sent me Metformin. I really don't want to start meds. Did anyone find a natural way to lower the fasting readings? Thank you!
Does the line look like it’s progressing okay? Top one is 10DPO, middle is 11DPO and bottom is 12DPO. Thanks
From my dates I think I’m about 5 and a bit weeks
