GD

I thought my results by the finger pricking were good, turns out they were great for a non pregnant lady 😂
Anyway, I have GD, and it’s likely they’ll put me on medication since my 11-12hr of fasting is still giving a high reading. I have 1-2 weeks to adjust my diet and go from there even though I’m already eating a balanced diet, and eating what I can with Hyperemesis.

Those who’ve had it, is it more common to be given tablets or injections?
And if it’s injections, is it once a day? 🫣

I've had it twice now, in my first pregnancy and in this one, it's exhausting to track and I'm finding as I get further along that something that used to keep my sugars normal now spikes them🫠
Never got to injections stage, just on metformin on an evening to regulate my fasting sugars, I think the injections are more for if the metformin doesn't regulate mainly

38 weeks!

Looking for some advice, was admitted for reduced movements on Friday but self discharged as everything was okay and movements picked up. Since last night I’ve been having light spotting and then this morning feel like again movements have dropped even after a couple of cold drinks. I do have a doppler scan today so is it worth mentioning something when I get there or call up before I go?

Anyone bleed like a period in early pregnancy, or am I cooked?

I’m 10dpo today. Yesterday I was getting faints. Today they’re darker, but all of a sudden last night I started bleeding dark red like a period… but my tests today are darker but not dark enough for a digital. I’m worried about ectopic. If this were chemical wouldn’t the tests be lighter?

Moving to West Wales

Hi all,

I am pregnant and will be moving from South to West Wales. This means I will likely need to change hospitals even though I really don’t want to. I will like be consultant led so will be the hospital in Carmathen. I have read terrible things about the care there so I am nervous. Has anyone have experience of it? Has anyone moved but kept their original hospital - is this even possible when there is so much travel involved?
