Young first time mom

I'm a first time mom at 18. I don't know what things should worry me. What are some things that helped make pregnancy easier?

Congrats! It’s rough honestly but absolutely rewarding. I could be wrong, but you don’t have to really worry about much until you get to your 3rd trimester; unless you’re having bleeding, bp problems, gestational diabetes (which i think are from the placenta cause i ate a lot of candy & whatever I wanted & had no issues). I also just asked a lot of questions on this app when there was something new and i would get answers. The community on here is definitely amazing.

Glucose results

Does this mean I pass or fail ?

Glucose test!!

Hey guys so I took my 1hr glucose test yesterday haven’t gotten my results back yet but I’m hoping I don’t have gestational diabetes I haven’t had it in all 3 of my pregnancies but this last pregnancy has been so different from the rest with more problems and I’m just hoping and praying things are good because I’m already dealing with anemia, low platelets, blood pressure being low a lot of the times on top of other issues.

Just looking for some advice

Ive been in and out of hospital for the past week or so, with swelling, flashing lights, ongoing headache, and a high bp that wont lower. I was put on bp tablets which they have now doubled my dosage.
Im 36 weeks and i feel as if the hospital isnt doing a lot to help, theyve booked me a scan and given me medication, but considering theyre questioning preeclampsia i feel like not much else is being done.
Does anyone have any advice on what i should do, or has anyone else been through a similar situation and it turned out to be fine? Im a first time mum and im not really sure what i should be expecting

Appetite

Is anyone else really struggling with food in the 3rd trimester? I’m 31 weeks and I either don’t feel hungry at all or I’ll be starving and make something then when I start eating I’m full after a couple of bites. It’s so frustrating. I’ve also been getting heartburn even though I take omeprazole. Eating gaviscon double action like they’re going out of fashion🤣
