I had mine today
I didn’t finish till 11:30 from
8:45am I was not attended to till 9am was wild
I almost passed out 😩😩😩😂😂😂😂….. the two hour wait is crazy

Lots of small sips of water and if you tell them you feel faint they will let you sit somewhere with your legs elevated, be reassured you are in the best place for care if do feel faint and at anytime they can stop the test and you can have something but distraction is probably best, take a good book, pick a movie to watch or something to listen too and distract yourself best as possible

Awh I was the exact same! This might sound silly but what I did was Try not to wake up to early before the appointment so I wasn’t awake so long before to be hungry that long waiting for the appointment if that makes sense
and I drank plenty of water and just sit down and chill out so I didn’t over do it before the test
Then as soon as your done and left the hospital make sure to grab something to eat xx

I was the same! I only felt a bit off straight after having the drink for 5-10 minutes but felt absolutely fine the rest of the time. The 2 hour wait went actually really quick take something to read or have something to watch on your phone to keep your mind off it

Baby boy has arrived

Ladies my August baby came early I’m so blessed overwhelmed and exhausted but extremely happy. I had to get emergency c-section due to baby boy’s heart rate kept dropping but he came out and he’s perfect

Back to work…

I went back to work today after a week off, and honestly, I couldn’t care less about being there. All I could think about was my baby growing in my belly and how much sleep I’m missing out on while sitting in the office. I really hope I’m not the only one feeling like this.

Colostrum harvesting

I’m 36 weeks today and I’m eager to start colostrum harvesting. Online it says from 37 weeks has anyone else started from 36? In my head it’s only a week difference is that going to affect that much? Xx

So frustrated lately

I feel like my frustration level has been so high lately at 5 months PP. I am feeling really frustrated with my partner over housework, free time, helping with the baby, making noise during feeding time, etc. I just got my first period which I'm guessing is making it worse or not helping. Im wondering if anyone else experienced this around 5 months or your first period and if it went away on its own?
