2nd Glucose Test

Got my 2nd Glucose test tomorrow as I was sick straight away with my 1st one. Really dreading it but I'm really really hoping I can do it and find out if I have gestational diabetes or not 🤞🏻
Do they tell you straight away if you have it?

I got told the next day. Though the told me at the time I would get a letter if any problems. They get you in straight away if it is high. Mine was slightly over and had my first appointment today. Don't panic if you do, they told me it's all to do with hormones. Xx

When I had mine they just told me no news was good news I gave them a week after I did it and just thought I must not have it then. Id take some water with you to get rid of the taste you can drink water while you waite out the 2 hours

Try and do a meditation when you finish drinking the glucose drink - just find one on you tube and put head phones on

I had hyperemsis for the first 22 weeks of my pregnancy and felt soooooo sick when doing my glucose test

The mediation and deep breathing really helped me when I felt so sick

Boy or girl?

I’ve just discovered the nub theory and this is my 4th baby. Anyone take a guess?

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.

39 weeks pregnant FTM

39 weeks baby hasn’t come yet and I am just full of anxiety. I am trying to relax. I am trying to chill, but I can’t chill. I do not want to be induced. I would love to have her natural. Issue is I am tight down there and petite and baby is measuring big like the head especially. I know that measurements can be off. But I have photos! And she is a chunk. This is so unpredictable. How do I just put my faith forward and trust in God and how do I let go of this anxiety? I am doing fine and then boom it hits me and I want to ball my eyes out. I am trying to treat myself and do little things but driving or doing anything is so hard now and I’m so huge and uncomfortable …I’m at my breaking point 😭

So ready for second trimester 🥲

I really really hate the first trimester. It’s exhausting, no appetite, not enough hours to get the amount of sleep I need, headaches, smell sensitivity, and overall just feeling like crap! And I don’t want to announce anything until 14 weeks since I’ve had losses before, and it’s getting really hard to hide it from my friends. Two more weeks to go….

Just needed to vent to others who understand!
