Worries about mat leave

Hi ladies, I’m due to have my first baby in May and am due on mat leave within the next few weeks! I feel so nervous about mat leave as someone who loves routine and my job, has anyone else experienced these worries? I feel like when I try to explain this to people they look at me like I’m a Martian 🫠

NIPT - to do it or not?

Hey girls, I am 28y.o, it’s my first pregnancy, I am 11w2d.
Just finished my antenatal scan with NHS and I opted for the combined testing for Down Syndrome etc.
I am not sure what is the difference between the NHS test and the private NIPT test? Does it make a huge difference? Is it worth doing it? Or do you think that NHS is enough?
Thanks for the advice!

Glucose test questions

Hi! My glucose test is around the corner & I’m wondering what option other moms went with & how it worked out? I hear you have the regular glucose test, the more natural Fresh Test or the at home finger pricking option.

Not sure how to get midwife to take me seriously?

I have been having several dizzy/near-faint episodes that the midwife brushes off as hormones as my iron, blood sugar etc is all OK even though my heart rate is much higher than normal. Today it happened while I was seated and my husband was taking his BP at the time and we measured mine a few times and the results were 76/47 and 126bpm heart rate. I have a midwife appt at 10am and worried she will brush me off again but I feel the episodes are getting dangerous now due to my size and how hard I will fall? Anyone else had this?
