Hi ladies

I was told that gestational diabetes usually goes away after delivering the placenta, but it's been a month since I had my daughter, and my blood sugar is still high. This is really depressing me 🥺
Has anyone else experienced this? How did you manage it? I’m wondering if I should wait longer to take the glucose test since my blood sugar is still not under control. :(

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.
