Need advice from moms who had preeclampsia 🥺

I’m currently about 5 months pregnant and I’m honestly really scared. I had preeclampsia with both of my previous pregnancies, and I still haven’t booked a prenatal appt for this pregnancy yet. I know I need to call and make one ASAP, but I’ve been putting it off and now I’m worried.

Has anyone else gone this long without seeing a dr or booking prenatal care and still gone on to have a healthy pregnancy and delivery?

For those who had preeclampsia before, did u get it again in another pregnancy? What did ur drs do to help lower the risks?

I’m terrified of something happening to me during pregnancy or childbirth and would really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s been thru something similar. Plz no judgment, I’m alrdy beating myself up for waiting this long 💜

Gestational diabetes

Please can someone tell me if this means I have gestational diabetes? When I click on tap for more details it says GTT results not back yet. So I can’t understand what it says high but gives me no further info

Gestational Diabetes test - help me!

Please help me I really don't know if I want to have this done or not. I am terrified I am going to pass out if I have this done and I just know it is going to have a snowball effect on my anxiety and potentially undo all the work I've done with hypnobirthing. I have just calculated online my risk for GD is low at 14%. I equally understand the implications of I did have GD. What would you do?

Loving so hard on my baby right now 🫶

He’s 9 weeks, so one of the older ones in the group, and I know a lot of you are in the thick of the 6-8 week crying.

I just wanted to share that it gets better, your babies won’t be little balls of fury forever! Mines smiling, cooing, reaching and grabbing and is so cuddly. I’m so relieved the newborn phase is over and I finally get to see my little boy start to show off his personality!

Hang on in there, it’s going to get so good!
