It was fast and easy I passed😊 I also bought theā€ fresh testā€ instead of Taking theirs , highly recommend!

Mine wasn’t terrible. I love sweet things so it wasn’t too bad. But the sugar did burn the back of my throat a bit and I got very shaky from the sugar. But I passed by one point! šŸ˜‚

Tasted gross, buy my OB office also chills them, so it was better than a room temp one. The first bit is easy to get down, it's the last of it that had me struggling

It wasn't too bad. Mine tasted a little sweeter than flat orange soda. I recommend fasting from midnight the night before. I didn't, and I failed the one hour test. They advised me to fast for 24 hours before the 3 hour test and I passed that one with perfect numbers.

Did the fresh test and I really liked how it tasted - which is great because I had to do it twice. I failed the 1hr screen but passed the 3hr diagnostic test

Tasted NASTY I don't like any of the flavors they have with a passion šŸ˜‚ I'm very active and was not overweight prepregnancy but failed the first test by a few points šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø

Passed the second easily! Don't fret if you fail the first the fail rate is like 1/4 so it's high chance

Second test only about 20% fail :)

Failed the first one; becccuasse I ate a burger and had soda like 20min before 🫠🫠🫠

Passed the second time with no issues.

Drinks aren’t the bessst, they are like a Orange juice with added sugar

People make it sound so bad lol yes it was really sweet, but I don’t think it was that bad. I was shaky though šŸ˜… and a huge sugar crash lol

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way šŸ˜‚ arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
