Glucose Test Failed Round 1

Just got my glucose test results back and I failed it, I was 7 points over. Now I have to do the 3 hour test which I am not looking forward to especially the fasting part. Any tips on how to manage or suggestions to help ensure you pass the second time around? TIA ☺️

Scared of Labour

Hey guys so I’m 31 weeks pregnant and I’m getting so scared of Labour! And the actual birth of my little girl , I’m scared I won’t be able to cope with the pain but I also only want gas and air 🥲😭 is it really that bad??

Is this normal to feel this way

Hiya, I feel like this may make me sound like an awful human. But did you all feel that immediate love and connection when you saw the two lines?

We were trying and know we want a baby, but I thought I would be overwhelmed with love immediately, and instead I’m just overwhelmed haha!

I’m hoping this comes soon as right now I feel pretty indifferent to the fact I’m pregnant.

Has anyone else felt in a similar way? Thanks xx

Those that have a newborn and a toddler - how are we doing?! 😴😅

I am super lucky that my husband still has a few weeks paternity leave, but I am tiired 🤣 however seeing my toddler with their sibling is the most adorable thing!

Air conditioning/cooler recommendations.

Hey ladies. I am at the end of my tether and really cannot cope with this heat anymore 🥺 I am someone who has never been able to deal with heat anyway but being 24 weeks pregnant during it is another ballgame. I am very anxious that there is a long way until the end of summer, have any of you found a portable air con/cooler that actually works??

Anyone else the same weight as pre pregnancy ? 19wks

I felt like I was gaining weight but it really seems like I’m sticking around the same number. I started around 125,127 pre pregnancy and went to 133 but I got on the scale today and found myself back at 127. I’m 5’2 and stayed pretty lean before from the gym and wanting to have abs but I’m a bit concerned now. I had a midwife I seen twice but haven’t seen them since 12 weeks bc I moved states and am waiting on insurance to kick in. Anyone else weight similar or do I need to foot the bill sooner rather than later. Baby is still kicking and I have a bump.
