I was, after a growth scan revealed polyhydramnios. I had a GD test earlier in the pregnancy and passed. Fatigue is my main problem now, I'm under the diabetes team and have a 24/7 moniter on my arm and because my levels are pretty uncontrolled even with diet I have to inject myself with Insulin twice a day x

Having a test tomorrow. No symptoms, but baby’s abdomen is measuring big. Passed GTT at 28 weeks (now nearly 35 weeks). Have developed a UTI, which midwife says could be triggered by GD. Apparently is uncommon to develop it late, but not unheard of! x

I was diagnosed at about 36 weeks after my fundal measurements jumped from average to high. I had a growth scan and they referred me for the GD test (I had already passed one at about 24 weeks). Results were borderline, but now diagnosed with GD and just diet controlled. No symptoms apart from the baby being ‘big’!

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
