Gestational Diabetes

Anyone else been diagnosed? I had my GTT test on Monday and was told the hospital would call if I was positive but I’ve still heard no call from them. I had a midwife appt two days later and she told me that I had indeed tested positive but I’m wondering why the hospital themselves haven’t contacted me if that was the case? Maybe I’m just in denial 🤷‍♀️ but this midwife was really incompetent because she couldn’t find baby’s heartbeat and made me panic which makes me think I can’t trust her 🥲

Ive been diagnosed at 14 weeks (family history) diabetic nurses were really quick to contact me and gave me all the instructions plus the monitoring kit (glucometer ,strips etc)Im surprised you havent heard from anyone other than the midwife.
It would be a good idea to check again with the midwife or your hospital /doctor or maybe if u can get details of your diabetic nurses team try checking with them .
Im sure someone should have formally informed you about the result and gave you instructions .

Yeah that’s the thing, the midwife booked me for another appt 4 weeks from now. Which is odd because if I have GD, I should be informed on how to mange it straight away? I feel like I’m left in limbo now and I didn’t have GD in my 1st pregnancy so not much knowledge on it

C-section dates 🩷

Hi mammas when did you all receive your planned C-section dates? Im nearly 36 weeks and hoping I get mine soon. Bonus points if you had yours at Birmingham women’s and children’s hospital 🩷

Anyone else struggling with deciding when to have 2nd child?

Or if you already have then how did you know you felt ready/ it was the right time. My husband is ready to try in the next few months if I am ready but I really can't decide what age gap I want. I feel the decision for me is complicated by previous baby loss, difficult pregnancy and traumatic birth and complications after birth...
I definitely know i want a sibling for my child and I'm not done yet but its more a matter of when?!

Newly pregnant!

I currently have a 5 year old and she’s been begging for a sibling for years! Well we finally conceived! After trying for almost 2 years. I’m just wondering how long did you guys decide to wait to tell your little ones? I know my girl will be so happy I want to wait until first ultrasound but that seems so farrrr I’m terrible at keeping secrets I’m worried I’m gonna say baby or pregnant infront of her to many times by accident 😅 I told my fiance will just put in back of minds for now so we don’t spill but that’s a little hard obviously lol

Chances of pregnancy?

What are my chances of pregnancy from yesterday? We may or may not try again.
