Late diagnosis for Gestational diabetes

I had GD with my son so this pregnancy they did the early test and the standard test for me, and I was glad and surprised that both were negative! Woo!! At my 36 week growth scan, my baby girls tummy was measuring bigger than the rest of her (she's still only a small baby though in weight) so they got me in the next day for another GTT.....came back positive 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm 37 weeks now and have my consultant appointment this afternoon where I was going to push for 38 week delivery anyway as I'm having an elective C-section and I have awful PGP and my mobility is decreasing daily, so for the last week of pregnancy I'm now stressing out about what I can and can't eat! Can't remember everything from last time as that was over 4 years ago lol. I can't eat alot anyway so I've been snacking but now I've got to think of healthier snacks and the 'pairing' system.

Anyone have any snack/meal ideas? Xx

Sick

Hey, I’m 25 weeks tomorrow. At 4am I woke up and my stomach was gurgling loudly. I went to the bathroom and it was complete water coming out. I went back to bed and an hour and a half later was back in the bathroom. I attempted to go to work (8:45 start). By 9:30 I had gone to the bathroom twice and at 10 I went and ended up throwing up my breakfast (into a garbage can) as I was on the toilet. I went home at 12 and forced myself to eat a few Wheat Thins and sip some water. I fell asleep till 4 and then was back in the bathroom. I’ve been in and out of sleep since. I’m worried about dehydration and the lack of me being able to eat for my baby. What should I do?

Is this normal?

Anytime i eat anything no matter what it is, or how little I eat of it, I immediately get tired, nauseous, sometimes dizzy and like my energy is drained. I usually have to get all my cleaning / house chores done before like 3pm so that I can eat something but not be stuck with a messy house. I'm gonna talk to a doctor i just need to make an appointment but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced these symptoms?

Lordy lord 3 are so intense! My
Poor baby has been so warm and restless, clingy (when she isn’t usually at all) and isn’t moving around much (when she’s been walking for ages and loves to run around). It will get better with Calpol and kisses but wow, anyone else’s bub suffering ? X
