I had mine at 28 weeks as I had several risk factors, within a day I was rang to say I'd failed. A few days later I was booked in with a diabetic nurse at the hospital to set up my monitor and then had to test my sugars 4 times a day. I managed to stay diet controlled and didn't need any medication for it mainly by following the Gestational Diabetes UK website and Facebook group x

It depends on the area in which you live. Some areas test routinely, others only if there is risk factors such as family history or diabetes in previous pregnancies etc. When pregnant with my first they didn't test me even though there is a family history. This this time round they have decided to test. It normally happens around 28 weeks.

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 😭
