Glucose test alternative

For those worried about the glucose test, I recommend asking your Dr/Lab if they’ll approve the FreshTest. It’s an FDA approved, all natural product with like 2 ingredients that’s literally sold by LabCorp; they should be fine with it but be persistent. I found a discount code through labcorp so it was only $8. It tasted like a sweet fresh lemonade (like what you get at a fair). I had a slight headache at 30 minutes but I didn’t have any of the other side effects that other women talk about after taking Glucola. I truly believe a lot of women feel terrible because of the gross ingredients/chemicals in that drink that aren’t necessary for the test. I was so worried about this test because I don’t usually drink any soda or anything super sweet, and when I do, I feel terrible after. This drink didn’t even make me feel like that. The hardest part was not being able to drink water while I waited the hour, but the drink didn’t even leave a bad taste in my mouth, so it was doable.

Also wanted to add that I took an insulated cup with the measured 10oz of water ice freaking cold, so when they had me mix the drink in, I wasn’t drinking some room temp nastiness. I brought a straw so I could mix it really well, and that helped me drink it pretty quickly. Again, it didn’t taste bad at all, but since you have to drink it so quickly the straw definitely helped.

I’m planning on using this too! Can you share the promo code? Where did you order from?

I bought it over a month ago to make sure it made it in time (I had plenty of time but I wanted to be sure 😂) so I don’t know the exact code. If this works, it’s directly on the fresh test website. You probably still have to pay shipping. https://thefreshtest.com/products/the-fresh-test-50g-powder-1-pack-labcorp

Yes!! I agree with this! You can also get it on Amazon. Though it’s pricier at $24, no side effects, it’s a refreshing drink. Definitely better for baby too!!

I just have my dr test my a1c and no sugar test needed

I did the same today tasted great and I felt fine

thanks! Mine is in 3 weeks so I think I’m good lol

I used the fresh test for mine and yes, definitely agree it was so much better than the glucose drink I had with my first. 🙌🏼 and I didn’t feel gross afterwards.

LOVE fresh test!

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲
