Failed my 3 hour!

Hey everyone soooo I failed my one hour test by a couple points, then three days later I failed my 3 hour test. My fasting draw was 2 points over and one of my 3 draws was 10 points over! I’m a little frustrated! Waiting for the specialist/dietician to reach out to me today or tomorrow! My OB’s NP was really nice and said the good news is you get more ultrasounds and get to see baby more lol well that’s nice, I guess 😩😂 any tips on what is to come? Any snack recommendations?! So you mean I can’t live off soda/carbonation and candy the last 12 weeks of my pregnancy?! 😩😩 in my feels today! Also for reference not sure if this matters I’m a FTM and 37!

Climate anxiety

Who else is feeling incredibly anxious about climate change as a summer of heatwaves looks to arrive? We MUST do better for our babies 🫣 Climate change is an inevitable and the time to act is now. It’s terrifying bringing a little one into the world at the moment.

Baby growth spurt...so anxious right now 😭

I just got home from 32 week scan, waiting for midwife to call atm but I had a bit of a panic/big sad moment at the hospital.... She's fine technically but she's had a massive growth spurt and they've booked me in to redo my gestational diabetes again and they're having a consultant book me in for another call and i got very stressed and upset. Been majorly hoping for a vbac and my midwife has been on my side the whole pregnancy but I have had pressure from consultants and other drs to have an elective section purely because its easier. Ive been able to stand my ground quite well so far as baby has been a nice 33rd centile and ive had no issues with blood pressure and I passed the diabetes test last month but yeah shes suddenly jumped up to 87th centile and I can feel myself losing the control. Will see what my midwife says when she gets around to calling me but im so stressed and upset right now 😭

Anxious but ready for baby to be out and here

I'm 36 weeks on Saturday, so I know it's still early but I am so done and ready for him to arrive.
I'm so anxious for labour and delivery, had a previous emergency section fully dilated and pushing as my first got her head stuck at a funny angle in my pelvis and I'm terrified of this hapenning again as he's predicted larger, but struggling with the idea of another section as this was traumatic for me.

But currently he's heavy, my pelvis hurts and I'm so uncomfortable, he also keeps flipping between breech and head down and when he's breech I can barely feel movements which is putting me on edge.

I'm so ready to not be pregnant anymore, I have GD and monitoring is exhausting, my toddler is exhausting and I'm ready to have him out safe and have my family home together safe and sound.

How is everyone else doing? I feel really selfish wanting him out now and I know he's not even technically full term yet but this end stretch of pregnancy is so hard and i've 500 things to get done before he's here and i've had enough😪

Very deflated at the minute
