GD

I have my gestational diabetes test tomorrow but three times in the last few weeks I’ve had what I think are hypos - hot, fainting feeling, eyes going white etc, and then really shaky and out of it.

Has anyone else out of it

Have they put you on any medication for it? Maybe get some advice from your GP. I had my gtt test last week but came back normal

Usually if they have diagnosed u with GD thyley don't do the test- but if not then the test will give them - however in you case it looks like it's low sugar level so the sugary drink may not really show it. Please speak to a doctor or Ur midwife about it if u can today

I haven’t been diagnosed with it yet, but do have the test tomorrow. Will talk to them about it tomorrow!

I've experienced something like this but my GD test came back fine and it turned out to be caused by low iron instead. Obviously let them know when you get there though as having blood taken can trigger a reaction like that too so they might want to take extra precautions like having you lie on the bed or something. Hope it all goes well x

My results came back as normal for GD but my iron is low so that might explain it!

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?

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

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 😭
