Gestational diabetes!

Hellooo, I’m looking for advice on what I should do. My doctors are useless and don’t think I have it but my hospital think I do and have gave me all the equipment I need etc.

My sugars drop to 2.9 or rise to 9.8. I’m constantly tired, sick/feeling sick, nearly pass out or feel dizzy, but it’s not getting to the point where I genuenly feel like I’m going to die (I know dramatic 😂) chest pain on one side, feeling like I can’t breathe, feeling like my throat is closing up and I’m struggling for breath.

What should I do which doesn’t involve getting a doctors appointment as again they don’t think I have it and aren’t taking me seriously!

Is this risky?

Im 27 weeks pregnant and have a toddler. My husbands mum wanted to visit us in our house but has been confirmed today that she has shingles. The husband (my husbands dad) lives with her and they share the same bed but he has had chicken pox before. They were meant to be visiting us this weekend for my husbands birthday, is it safe for the husband (my husbands dad) alone to come visit us or can he still bring some risk to me. I’m pregnant and never had chicken pox before.

Hey lovelies. Tomorrow I have my 24 weeks appointment with the midwives. What did your midwives do during this appointment? Do you know if I am going to listen to the baby’s heartbeat? Thanks

My first c-section

I’ve been booked in for a c section due to complications during this pregnancy what should I expect and could I possibly ask to give birth naturally?

Calling anterior placenta mamas!

I’m 24 weeks and I thought baby was finally getting into a movement pattern but it seems to have changed again 🫠 he had consistent movement pattern last week, changed towards the end of the week to a new pattern for a few days and now we’re back to square one again. It makes me sooooo worried!
