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 😭

7 weeks tomorrow

7 weeks tomorrow with baby no4 my youngest is 5 months old
I know most of it is bloat but this is ridiculous wonder how long it will be until people start asking as wanting to keep this pregnancy quiet until at least 20 weeks

37 weeks today

I’m 37 weeks today and have an almost 2 year old. And oh my goodness am I ready for baby to be here. The heartburn, the lightning crotch, the hip cramps, I’m so done with it all. Just want baby here now. The second pregnancy is not for the weak 😩

Labor questions:

Hey there! My name is Lindsay. I’m 22 (almost 23) and I’m due with my first baby July 13th, making me 38w2d as of now. Everyone tells me “oh you’ll know when you’re in labor”, but I’m doubting myself after seeing second and even third time moms not knowing even after having a kid or 2. I can’t really ask my mother as she had a c-section with both my sister and I, so she didn’t get to experience labor or her water breaking. (She has been WONDERFUL this pregnancy though none the less and I am VERY greatful to have her around.) 🥰
Any advice for a new mama? 💖

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!
