Glucose Tolerance Test

Has anyone had the glucose tolerance test? I have mine tomorrow (I have family history of type 2 diabetes so hospital wanted to check). I've been told I have to fast from 10pm tonight but have had terrible heartburn in the past few days. Does anyone know if I'm allowed to take Gaviscon between 10pm and the end of the test, or if I just have to power through?

It’ll probably be too late for my reply now but I don’t think you’ll be allowed to the gaviscon. I hope your test goes well.

Baby movements

So I’m now officially 22 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and I’m still yet to feel him move. I had my 20 week scan not last week but the week before and everything seemed fine but have a repeat scan tomorrow due to not getting a proper measurement of his face. I’ve been told I have an anterior placenta too. Should I start getting worried yet ?? With my first baby my placenta was at the back and I felt him move around the 20 week mark. I’m just really paranoid as I have fertility issues as it is and have had miscarriages in the past and I’m classed as a high risk pregnancy with this one as I have strep B and I had gestational hypertension and pre eclampsia with my first baby so I’m on shared care with this pregnancy and I’m also on aspirin too which was prescribed by the hospital to take to prevent with this pregnancy.

Is everyone just done now and ready for baby or not there yet?

If you’ve had enough and ready how far along are you?

I’m 37 weeks and starting to get more uncomfortable but enjoying it generally not at the end of my tether yet but I fear it may be just around the corner according to everyone else? Haha
