No tips. I have mine at the end of the month. My doctor told me i don't have to fast but don't over eat and try to avoid sugar or sweets or fruit right before. I don't remember which flavor I got with my first, I think it was Orange and was not bad.

I’m using a birth center with a midwife as my primary provider. She let me drink a medium chick fil a lemonade with light ice. Obviously it tasted amazing but it DID make me a bit nauseous and dizzy as I never have that much sugar at once. Make sure to eat a normal lunch a couple of hours before you’re scheduled to drink whatever you’re drinking (unless they’re having you do a fasting test). Don’t stress over it! I was freaking out and my BGL after the 1hour test was 96 🥳

I really didn’t think it was that bad when I did it with my first. For breakfast I just had a lot of protein and minimal carbs. Think I had like 3 boiled eggs and a few slices of cheese. I had the clear one and it just tasted like flat pop. Bring a straw as it’s easier to chug that way.

I did get slightly nauseous but nausea is my baseline most days lol so I’m not even 100% sure if the test caused it or not.

Overall I think the lead up to the test is scarier than the actual test. ❤️ the worse part for me is the waiting around for an hour killing time haha

Incredibly Broody!! Just a very emotional mum

I desperately want another child! We've agreed to wait ttc next year (2027) when things in our life are a bit more settled and I'm already tracking ovulation as it worked the previous time.

I'm just so Broody, I see pregnant ladies and babies everywhere. I can't wait! My son will be 6 by the time I hope to be pregnant again.

My sister is pregnant which is super exciting as I can have baby cuddles again. Anyone else feeling like this?

Fast baby heart rate?

I had my midwife appintment and she monitored babys heart it was faster then she would have licked and i hadnt felt movement that morning and she couldnt feel any either ( this was morning around 11:20 so havent had much time to sit down and feel baby as i also have a toddler at home) anyway i was admitted into the antenatal ward, i was put on a constant monitor for about 5 hours inbetween that time they got me ready to have an IV drip for liquids and where getting a bed ready in labour and delivery for more constant monitoring, but then babys heart dropped back to normal and started moving again i was monitored for another hour and a half before being released as they said they where happy but had no explanation for it... i felt completely fine i had no signs that baby was in distress at all.

Im just sat feeling so lost now i dont have any more appointments untill the 21st and im concerned i wont notice again if anything was wrong.. ive had braxton hicks like mad for last past week but in no pattern to indicate labour, babys heads down but not engaged, and ive had slight tightening but they dont seem concerned at all.. im 35 weeks

Has anyone had a similar experiance ? Im just confused what caused it and how it ended up being lowered on their own and they just called it " a moment"

3rd Trimester nausea

Anyone else suffering? No where near as bad as 1st trimester but keeps coming in waves 😵‍💫🌊 So hard with a toddler in tow!
