‘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.
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.
