Gestational diabetes test

I have a GDT test this Friday and I’m super anxious about it, I don’t do well with sick at all and I’m so worried I’ll be sick and feel funny and faint because I won’t be able to eat!
Please someone tell me it’s not as bad 🥲🥲
I didn’t have this with my first!

It’s probably the easiest test you’ll do throughout your pregnancy! Mine tasted like sprite and I felt fine. I ate a high protein meal the night before so I wouldn’t be faint or hungry for my test the morning after.

I just took mine today! My drink was easy peasy, not icky at all. The only side affect I had was an increased heart rate. You got this !

I was allowed to eat a high protein breakfast before the test! Also it’s not that bad. DO NOT chug the beverage, take the full 5 minutes to drink it or else you might make yourself sick. There’s no reason to suck it down lol

Yeah, maybe don’t chug it lol. I drank it way too fast, when it really didn’t taste that bad. I went alone and started feeling like I was about to faint. I got really hot and sweaty, my vision started going, I started seeing like radio static and I kinda freaked out. This was a bit before the time was up. If you can, take somebody with you!

I did eat before though, and my results were negative!!

Please be nice as I have anxiety…

So I’m 20 weeks pregnant and I went to the hospital for light bleeding when I wipe ( not ever time though).. the doctor told me it was due to sex and that my cervix was irritated has anyone else experienced this? And or know way to just calm my anxiety from it

Dabs

Anyone take a dab or two when pregnant? I’m about 20weeks today.

Anyone else due 1st May?

I’m wondering whether I’ll have an April or May baby, thought she’d be late originally because she’s my first but I’ve had this weird feeling recently she’ll be early… if you’re in the same position what do you think?

Milestone anxiety

Anyone else really struggling because baby hasn’t hit certain milestones yet? My anxiety is overwhelming me.

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭
