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.

Anybody going through their pregnancy alone?

Just wondering. 15w and due March 12, 2027.

It’s just the beginning and this is one of the hardest things I’ve done!

Announce my pregnancy or hide it at my performance this Friday?

5 months with baby #2 and SHOWING. I don’t wanna keep wearing spanx and hiding the baby but I’m not quite ready to go public yet either.

What’s your average screen time on your phone?

Sometimes my phone tells me my weekly average of screen time on it and it always makes me feel shitty - what are your guys averages like?

I genuinely didn’t think I was on my phone THAT much so seeing it is a bit of a woah time to reduce it moment for me (and yes I know it’s ironic that I’m on it right now)
