Glucose test is NOT BAD

For anyone who has an upcoming glucose test, I just want to calm your nerves. I was so anxious because I read a lot of horror stories, but I just did it this morning and it was totally fine and easy. The drink is a very small amount, doesn’t come close to filling a glass. It doesn’t taste bad at all. The wait is annoying, but I never felt sick or anything.

You got this!

I truly believe it’s different for everyone as well as every pregnancy.

I didn’t mind the drink with my first pregnancy. But with this pregnancy it made me gag and made me feel super sickly. Headache, stomach ache, shaky feeling. I literally never want to be pregnant again after this experience with the glucose test 😭😅

oh no I’m so sorry! Okay so maybe I just got lucky then.

definitely luck 😂 I didn’t think the drink was bad with my first pregnancy with my little boy at all. But something about these girls makes me super sensitive to sweets.

Well, I’m having a boy so maybe that’s why haha

It’s different for everyone I have low blood sugar since my pregnancy and when I did my glucose it taste and felt like I was drinking Gatorade I ask the nurse for another bottle 😂😂😂she said get out😭😂in a nice way tho

😂😂

The drink it is gross, I don’t think it’s horrendous though. I know it makes me gag when I have to drink the glucose but in the end it’s not like I drank a whole bin of it lol

I had to do a 3 hour test today, and it’s 100 grams of glucose and that drink was gross. The regular 50g for the 1 hour was fine. But both give me headaches

totally agree! I’m doing the 3 hour test today and the 100 g drink is nasty it’s so much thicker. It’s making me feel gross but the 1 hour test drink wasn’t that bad

I’ve done the test 6 times 2 of which were warm the rest were cold. I just chug it in under 30 seconds I don’t even know if it touches my taste buds 💀😂(I always pick orange)

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Best way to be induced??

I just found out I may need to be induced early due to preeclampsia and having a generally bigger baby which of the ways to be induced do y’all recommended?

This is a bit strange.. but hear me out

I am 36 weeks and 4 days today.
I had that feeling, you know when you are trying to take a tampon out on your end of period and it kind of hurts because the tampon is dry? I had that sensation today?

Now I feel like I have to push something about my vagina? It kinda tickles but uncomfortable. I’m not having any pains at all anywhere btw so can’t be baby ??

cheating dream

i need advice but PLS DON'T JUDGE!!!
last night i had a dream, i always used to dream my partner cheating on me with my friends, or being super mean, but since we had our baby those dreams disappeared. for context, we haven't been able to have sex yet, I'm 12 weeks pp, and my pelvic floor is so tense, and it's awful.
last night i had a VERY weird dream, it was so realistic, and different from others, he handed me his phone, and ask me to help him handle this girl, like annoyed? in the chat this girl was super obsessive, and messaged him a lot before he replied. she asked him to sing a song to her, and he sent her a voice message singing it, and other voice messages i couldn't listen in the dream. i wrote her to stop, and she was angry, telling me he started it. then i confronted him about this (still in the dream) and he changed his attitude, he seemed so guilty and said to me he had deleted some messages. i don't remember much else, but i woke up with the URGE of checking his insta messages. we've been together for 5 years, and I've never checked his phone, and neither has he (that i know if, at least) and contained myself, but I'm still very much concerned about it. it felt like an epiphany, a revelation or smth like that. I know people might think I'm overreacting but i can't get it out of my head, it was so specific.
i though about asking him to show me, but i know he'll be bothered that i don't trust him (i would be too in his place), but if he's cheating he would say that to make me feel bad. also i thought about checking his phone in his sleep, and then ask him to see his reaction, but feel so bad, i wouldn't like if he went through my phone without asking, even tho I have nothing to hide.
please, be kind!!

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?
