I feel like something isn’t right and I just want her out

I guess this is more of a vent, I’m not sure what advice anyone can really give here. She’s moving so theoretically she’s fine is what I keep being told. I had a small stroke last week but they can’t investigate or treat until she’s born and since my blood pressure is normal maternity are basically like well, we’ll just wait and see. I keep startling awake because I can’t breathe right and my blood sugar isn’t under control, I’m in a lot of pain and so tired (although aren’t we all) and sick of the swelling in my face and hands especially but worst of all is this gut instinctual ‘something is not right’ that I’ve had since the day or so before the stroke. I just keep being told this is all normal feelings and to just wait another 4 weeks to deliver but I’m scared

Just being nosy :)

To the mums already had their babys so far, or previous babys. How long did you labour for? 🤔

Second pregnancy

Has anyone had a GTT and been told they haven’t got gestational diabetes, but been testing at home and numbers are high?

I had gestational diabetes in my previous pregnancy, my fasting numbers were a problem so ended up on metformin and insulin. After meals weren’t too bad, 9 times out of 10 getting under 7.8 after an hour.
I had a glucose test at 14 weeks and again last week at 26 weeks and was told both times my results were normal and didn’t have gestational diabetes this pregnancy. I still have my kit at home so have been testing, and my fasting results have been 5.6 - 5.8 for the past 3 days. After meals have been in range.
Where do I go from here? Do I contact the diabetic midwives and tell them? Or do I just trust the test results from my glucose tests.

Conceiving first child

Conceiving your first (or only) child timewise took…

I’ve included one time because that was what my experience was, seeing how unique (or not) this is.

Conception is a blessing and appreciate not everyone conceives quickly ❤️‍🩹

Funniest pregnancy brain moments?!

I’ve just been laughing at myself because yesterday I was holding my phone whilst frantically looking for it and today, instead of body cream, I started using my hair gel to moisturise 😂😂😂😂. Tell me I’m not alone!
