Antibodies during glucose test

I’m currently pregnant and just had a glucose test this morning. I received a call informing me that some antibodies were detected, and I’ll need to undergo further blood tests. This has made me quite anxious. When I asked about the specific antibodies, they mentioned they couldn’t identify them, which is why additional testing is necessary.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Thank you!

The way antibodies were described to me was that its when you're at risk of developing something. So for example, I had additional testing with my bloods and it turned out that I had positive antibodies for thyroid, which makes sense as hypothyroidism does run in my family. But I have no idea when those antibodies will actually start showing the symptoms of the issue, so it didnt really feel worth knowing as nothing can happen until then anyway🤷🏼‍♀️ x

I’ve had the absolute roughest day, she would not settle for longer than 30mins all day and has screamed, absolutely screamed like she’s never screamed before.

Tell me it gets better 🙏🏻

Short cervix

Has anyone got a short cervix? If so, any advice to keep calm. I had a normal cervix with my first, then had a leepz treatment due to precancerous cells and being told I have a borderline ok cervix for this pregnancy so they will be doing more monitoring!

How quick did people get results for the Down’s, Edwards’ and Patau’s syndromes 12 week test?

We were told we’d get a letter if low risk or a call if high risk, how quick did people get results?
