Gestational diabetes - anyone else have this test?

Freaking out so much about this test. It’s in August and I will literally be gutted if I have it.

I've got to have this test as well in August, I hear its quite a common test and a lot of people I know have had it done, I wouldn't worry too much about it, see it as a good thung that you're being checked for it so they can give you any help you might need, some people don't have the check and end up with GD anyway and don't know so don't get the help or heads up about it, think positive 😊

I’ve got mine in July & am super nervous too! 😬

I have mine on Tuesday, I have to do finger prick test for a week, then again at 24 weeks for a week as I am unable to have the drink test. I’m not too worried at all my midwife has explained everything to me in such detail that I have no worries if I end up with it or not now

I had mine done at 10+1 at the start of May, I’ve had GD in previous pregnancy and had sugar in my urine at my booking appointment. The test isn’t as bad as people say it is, just take something to do whilst you wait between blood tests. I have got it again this pregnancy.

I had it in my first pregnancy, it honestly wasn’t too bad. People complain about the taste of the drink, but they’d chilled it so it just tasted cold for me.

Gallstones

Anyone else who has gotten gallstones after pregnancy have you had any issues with your chest? Like chest pains heart fluttering sand feeling like you’re gonna have a heart attack? Ever since I’ve gotten gallstones it’s literally taken over my life. I’m so afraid of being by myself. I cannot do anything and I have a huge fear that something bad is going to happen. Anyone else in the same boat? I’m so alone. My partner is always out the house with work and my family have their own lives going on so I’m just living in constant fear by myself

Nothing fits, already!

Hi friends,
I’m new to this community and so excited to connect with mommas due in December!
So I’m 14 weeks and 3 days today (first pregnancy ended at 8-9 weeks), and almost none of my regular clothes fit me. I’m feeling frustrated because I’m technically not showing yet, but I’ve been super bloated my whole pregnancy. Anyone else in the same boat? How do you cope with the frustration? I know I’m creating life and that it’s a precious thing, but I’ve had a hard time accepting the changes with my body.

Not enjoying pregnancy

Is anyone else just not enjoying pregnancy? Everyone says it’s such a magical time but i really don’t like it. I feel so guilty for feeling this way but I just can’t wait for it to be over. I’m sure it’ll be worth it once my baby’s here but I’m just having a really miserable time :(

Reassurance

Everyone says the second baby is bigger. I was 7lbs 6 ounces and my sister was 9’6. My first baby was 9’2. Someone please give me hope that my second will not be massively bigger

26 month old height

My daughter is 26 months and I’ve just measured her height she’s 80cm
I’ve heard this is very small and worrying she’s never been measured for height!
Does this sound like a worry I have her 2 year review Friday but I’m panicking so much now as apparently that’s really small :(
