Hey , i was diagnosed about 3weeks ago. Its taken me that long to find out what foods work for me. So it might be a trial and error at first, but dont give up. I found it difficult and mentally tiring. But now okay with a balance of cheese, corn cakes, olives and berries and nuts 🙂 so far water with a squeeze of lime for drinks, and ive got to full fat milk now as I got told that is better for us with GD. But that might spike for you depending on how your body reacts. Ive also beenunching on a lot of raw veg, cucumbers, peppers ect.

Private scan

Has anyone else paid for a scan and not been able to see baby’s face? My partner feels like it was a waste of money I see where he’s coming from but I’m just glad I got to hear baby’s heart beat and seeing the baby moving. What would you do?

Toddlers are something else 😭🤣

I’m just sitting here minding my own business at 8 months pregnant and my toddler comes up to me and says “who got you pregnant”!!!
I looked at her like “what” and she repeated herself so I said “her daddy”! So she said “why did my daddy get you pregnant” 😳
So I said “I don’t know”! She says “it’s fine I will call him and ask him”…. She grabs my phone calls her dad who’s at work and he was sounded mortified, when she said “why did you get my mummy pregnant”! I couldn’t fully remember what he said because I couldn’t stop laughing!!! Nothing can prepare you to be a parent to a toddler!! 😭😂

Tips to induce labour

Im 40 weeks on Sunday and have a C-section booked for Tuesday. I don’t want the section but because of previous C-section due to preemie baby I’m not allowed to be induced - either by body goes into labour naturally or C-section :( - I have a needy toddler at home so would prefer natural in terms of recovery!

Please give me all your tips 🙏🏼
