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

Is it normal to have 3 scans in one week

I was told that you could only have a scan every 2 weeks but I’ve got 3 in one week

Hospital bag

When did everyone start packing their hospital bag? Second time mum nearly 31 weeks pregnant and feel I’ve left everything so last minute this time round 🥴

Gestational diabetes 🤦‍♀️

Anyone else been diagnosed? I had my glucose test and got the dreaded phone call today to say it came back abnormal. I wasn’t expecting it at all😑

Big baby

Has anyone else had any growth scans and been told their baby is measuring large? I am 32.4 weeks and baby 85th percentile but the head and abdomen were measuring in the 90s...

Thyroid issues

Just been informed by my GP I have under active thyroid. Could be hereditary, but I’m also wondering could it be due to postpartum (almost 9 months).

Anybody experienced this? Anybody found their levels went back to normal? I really don’t want to be on medication for the rest of my life.
