Meditation really helped me. I used a free app called Medito. It taught me the basics and now when I feel the anxiety approaching I'm able to ride it out without getting lost in it.

Honestly, Lexapro saved me. Not sure if you are down with meds, but it was a life changer.

Chunky Baby

I’m 39 weeks pregnant with a chunky boy. He is my first baby and measuring big. I don’t have gestational diabetes (they tested me 4 times). His daddy is just massive and now little 5”5 me is carrying a 6”3 man’s huge child.

Obviously the doctors aren’t concerned because they would otherwise have induced me early or recommended a c section. But I am getting worried about squeezing out a 10Ib baby. (He was measuring 7Ib 6oz at 37 weeks).

Has anyone else had a big baby and a positive experience? Someone else told me that big babies arrive easier but I’m sure they were just trying to make me feel better!

Suggestion for my GD girlies :)

Not sure if other trusts are the same, but for mine if you have GD, they want to take your blood glucose levels every hour during labour!

I don't really fancy being pricked every hour for goodness knows how long, so I've ordered a Libre 2 continuous glucose monitor which lasts 14 days that my partner can use my phone to take a reading of and give it to the midwives whilst I'm in the zone - bonus, they do a free trial 🥳 if you head to their website and click on the free trial, all you have to do is enter your address details etc - there's no additional proof required, they just check that you haven't ordered one with them before (it says there's extra checks for if you have diabetes but don't stress, there isn't)

I've ordered mine to come and then I guess I wait until Labour starts or feels close to use it, a 2 week window feels manageable 😅

GTT test result

How long does it take the GTT test result to come out? Had mine yesterday at Peterborough hospital and I’m so anxious because there has been glucose in my urine over the last few days and my finger prick was quite high.

Endless first trimester

How is it possible for time to go so slowly? This is my second and I thought it’d go quicker this time. Somehow it’s slower. I’m 8+2 and soooo over it.
