Glucose test

So I’m halfway through my Glucose test, just waiting on midwife to come back out and take my last lot of blood, just curious anyone else felt sick and tired in the wait up to the second lot of bloods?🤦‍♀️ could it be the amount of sugar I’ve just consumed in such a short amount of time?

Yep I felt really sickly and tired after that drink not nice feeling is it xxx

Yeah I felt awful.. about half an our after taking it I just wanted to go to sleep... I forced the sick feeling down, as I thought if I'm sick, I'd have to do it again x I didn't feel great all day after.. wanted lunch but was really tired xx

it’s horrible 😩😩 I genuinely cannot stand this but heyho it’ll be worth it in the end! 😩❤️ think the amount of sugar I just consumed has woken my baby up 😂

really hope I pick up during the day, cus I’m exhausted and I really feel sick it’s genuinely the worst , but that’s exactly me once is enough Thankyou so I’ll be keeping it down as hard as it is😂xxxx

Aww trust me your baby be on one all day now my boy was lol yes you've done it now hun and you soon be home just rest up drink plenty of water flush it and and I hope your results come back clear.. Because I'v not enjoyed diet change since I've found out I'v got GD xxx

Mine made me nauseous too while waiting in-between! Guessing it’s the combination of fasting and then all the sugar? Good luck with your remaining test, nearly done!

I felt absolutely fine however a woman before me collapsed after hers x

it’s crazy how much sugar was in that drink 😂, she’s incredibly active now😂😂, thankyou so much my love I’m hoping so too!!x and I’m so sorry angel but it’ll all be worth it eventually ❤️

yeah that’s what I was thinking I haven’t had sugar since 10pm last night and that was my first lot of sugar since 😩❤️, really not enjoying it if I’m completely honest x

Thanks sweetie my boys definitely worth all the finger pricks lol xxx

oh god no😩 I couldn’t imagine collapsing, that’s quite scary tbh!xxx

I was fine I just felt super bored waiting around but after they took my last bloods I felt very tired on way home

I had mine a couple of weeks ago. It can make you tired, yes, in the afternoon of that day, I had a headache, I took paracetamol because for me if I just eat sugary things I can’t actually fall asleep. So I had lunch, soup and vegetables then went to bed for couple of hours.

I fell asleep!!

I felt awful until I could have a proper meal again... actually the first hour i was bouncing off the walls 🤣🤣 me and my partner went to sit outside and that seemed to help a lot but when I came off the sugar rush, I crashed well and truly... and I got rly grumpy 😮‍💨😅

Yeah I felt awful, I got my flu jab straight after and had to have a 3 hour nap in the afternoon😩🤣

I suffered with sickness untill 25 weeks pregnant and the one thing I never threw up was that drink haha I 3ven took my sick bowl just incase 😂🤦‍♀️ but I was very sleepy after I went home and had a long nap x

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡
