Anxiety for lack of movement today

This will be my 3rd baby, since about 14 weeks ive been very fortunate to have the feeling of bubbles in my belly, im now almost 17 weeks, since the weeks have gone on ive had constant very noticeable movements of the baby with each week being more obvious, been so fortunate.
Today ive not noticed any, I have a very big history or loss, 9 miscarriages I total, one being a missed miscarriage at 3months last year, so lack of movements today is driving me to think the worst. I have my appointment with my midwife on Friday so will hear the heartbeat for the first time then (all being well) but i have no phone number for my midwife or anything? The badger app doesnt give any numbers or message options either. I know babys dont always move when you want, but im just scared especially after finally announcing to family/friends and being so excited after so much loss.

Can you call the labour ward at your hospital, or your gp to forward to your midwife?

Googling the hospital and labour ward should also bring up their details.
I hope all is ok but I’m a huge believer it’s better to get checked if it doesn’t feel right🩷

They say any decline in movement is important to get checked, particularly if you have history of loss for your own sake. There should be numbers you can call under ‘care team’

Pregnant Again...

I just found out I'm pregnant, but I'm only 7 months postpartum. Freaking out a bit but also a little bit excited as it took us so long to get pregnant the first time. I'm worried about the small age gap and how my little boy will cope. Has anyone else been through this?

‘failed’ GD test

I had my GD test last Monday, and found out Wednesday I’d failed. Fasting was fine, but 2hr was 8.3

First few days all my finger pricks were fine, and well within range, sitting closer to lower limits than upper.
But since yesterday breakfast every reading has been high, and I can’t make any sense of it. This morning is the first fasting reading that is high.
I’m basically eating the same food or a variation of.

I’m aware I’m not even a week in, but I feel like it’s knocked all my confidence with pregnancy.
I was anxious/nervous for the health of little one as it was, and this just feels like an uncontrollable/unpredictable whirlwind 🤯

Didn’t feel like there much help/support from the hospital when they diagnosed, literally given a glucose monitor and sent on my way, was there for less than 5 minutes and waiting for a follow up appt for a growth scan and to see a consultant, with no time frame given for it.
Locally the only maternity contact given is triage, and it doesn’t feel like the sort of thing to be contacting them with.

Anyone else having gallbladder attacks caring for a newborn?

Honestly I’m so sad that when I finally had that feeling like I can conquer the world of motherhood comfortably because I had an emergency c section I’m having gallbladder attacks!!! Like I just wanna be able to give the best care to my baby and I feel like I can’t because for one I overworked myself in the first 2 weeks of recovery taking care of my baby and now that I’m finally getting used to my body again this 💩 happens!! (Literally) now I’m going to have to have more help with him and I just hate it so much because I have the worst anxiety about him…

When do you find time

Previously I spent a lot of time working on my fitness and eating habits before getting pregnant. I’ve definitely let myself relax and enjoy pregnancy in a sense. A lot of my journey was because I wanted to get my PCOS symptoms under control so I could have a baby some day just didn’t think it would happen so soon. After you guys got cleared what time did you find worked the best for you? Pics at the gym pre pregnancy, I had lost 75lbs before finding out I was pregnant in February and I’ve gained at least 35lbs back 😭(technically like first weeks of pregnancy I didn’t know yet lol)
