Glucose results

I did my 1 hour fasting glucose test today and scored 70. WAYYY lower than my first. My first pregnancy I scored 135, I was close to failing. Has anyone experienced this? A significant difference in glucose results with pregnancies? Does it even mean anything? Anything to worry about?

My Dr didn’t seem worried but im still curious.

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 🫠

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.

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!
