Just Trying To Take Day By Day

Literally was engaged and it’s like as soon as he found out we were for sure pregnant did a complete 180 🤯 Best part is I didn’t even know of any mishaps between us and he was telling me I was pregnant before I even found out 🤔. What makes matters worse is I was pregnant last year and we lost our son last may so it’s like still grieving that. Now he has just lost his relative on the anniversary of our sons death so has completely checked out 😔. Luckily I have family helping me but this is insane 😵‍💫

Expecting second baby!

Too early to announce as only 7 weeks but excited so had to vent somewhere! Anyone else pregnant again?

Any second time (or more) moms find it hard to connect with first time moms?

I don't mean this as a judgement. I completely get that everything is new for them and I try to be supportive of that when it comes to their experiences.

It just drives me a little crazy when I say I'm fine or not worried about something and they keep trying to go on about how scary that sounds.
Like in individual conversations I mentioned I'm having Braxton Hicks to a few friends with only one. They all got so concerned and talked about how BH are so scary and concerned I must be about to go into labor. I tried to explain that they are just annoying and uncomfortable, not scary or concerning, but it was as if they couldn't understand me. Also the only reason I bring it up is because they ask how pregnancy is going and I never know how to answer that question, so I just say "oh you know heartburn and Braxton hicks".
When I mention BH to friends with multiple kids they just go "oh I remember those, so annoying".

I feel like I have similar versions of this about different topics all the time.
I have GD for the second time and all my first time mom friends act like it means I'm dying. I am zero percent concerned about it. I am totally diet controlled and have barely even changed my eating habits. I just check my blood sugar after and add more protein if I want dessert. I try to explain this and get vacant stares followed by "you're so brave I don't know how you manage. I'd be terrified". I'm literally just drinking a protein shake.
Yes I know it is much worse for some, and that sucks. I'm very grateful mine is mild. I also understand that they probably would be terrified, I was the first time, but I don't know why they act as if I should be now.

If I say I'm fine why is it that moms with only 1 kid never believe me, but moms of multiple do?

We have hit 6 months

Liverpool women’s glucose test

Hi guys! Just wondering if anyone has had a glucose test in the women’s recently?
What exactly will happen for the 2 hours I have to wait after the drink? Will they give me somewhere to sit because I’ve heard it can make you feel really nauseous? Or will I just be sent back to the waiting room or told to potter around for 2 hours? Just trying to prepare myself so I know if I’m going to be stuck in a very warm waiting room for 2 hours or if I’ll be on a ward or smth lol
I didn’t get it with my first because it was covid so they just took a blood test and sent me on my way and said they’d bring me back for the drink if needs be but never did

Driving?

Has anyone attempted driving yet? I’m 4 weeks PP tomorrow and wondering if it’s possible? X
