GD testing query

I’ve been testing since Thursday. My fasting tests for yesterday and today have both been 5.6 and 5.8 alongside my after breakfast reading today of 9.6. At which point should I contact my diabetes team? I’m very new to the GD world. Thanks in advance!

My team said after 3 bad readings in a week I should call. If you’ve just started maybe is worth looking if there isn’t anything you can do and try for just acouple of days, and then calling after.
For example, I found that having a high fibre and protein snack before bed helped keeping my fasting levels in check, and having a low carb high protein breakfast as well, or having a walk. In general, rule of thumb is meals carb up to 35/40g and snack 10/15g. For me it has worked (so far).
But if even doing the above your sugars are still high, or if you feel like you can’t restrict yourself, call your team and ask for help

I find doing 20 squats after each meal really helps to lower the result x

I think my main struggle will be my fasting sugars x

When did you start to show with 2nd pregnancy?

So I’m only 4 weeks pregnant and it’s probably bloating but I swear I already look pregnant 😅🫣 my last pregnancy was twins and I started showing around 10-12 weeks. I heard it happens sooner the 2nd time. We’re trying to hide it for as long as possible

Sooo uncomfortable at 36 weeks

I'm starting to feel super uncomfortable, my baby is measuring on the bigger side (85th centile) and I'm quite a small person, I'm really struggling with it and have SPD. This is my 3rd baby and I have a 13 month old to run around after as well. I'm so exhausted , I don't know how I can possibly do another 4 weeks, and to know we're approaching our 5th 35 degree heatwave now which is coming next week, it makes me shudder 😅 I hope and pray she comes a bit early 🙏🏻 I just want my body back.... any one else ?

Is it normal to be this anxious about everything? When out with the kids, constantly thinking someone is going to take them or when on motorway worrying I’m going to get a blow out. I went for a run this morning and started to worry

About being attacked or a cow getting out the field and chasing me.

Hopeful for my Rainbow baby

Hi everyone and congratulations.

Is anyone here having a rainbow baby?This is my 5th pregnancy but unfortunately I haven’t carried for longer than 10 weeks. I found out last year I have a bicornuate uterus and this can cause issues in early pregnancy due to the shape of my womb. I’m still really early and panicking at every twinge pull or pain that I know are completely normal. I also have strong early symptoms so I have everything crossed that this will be the one that sticks

Delivery anxiety

How you guys are dealing with delivery anxiety?
Sometimes i am really concerned about how things gonna happen as its first time for me. When will it happen ?

especially since the start of 3rd trimester i have been worried that my baby should complete 37week as i get very conscious each time i pee that is it all good as i hope that there is no blood or water leak.

Each time i have any pulls or pain i think hope it’s not contractions especially with braxton hicks.

Or everytime when i note a change in baby movement or less i get scared that hope all is okay.

I was not worried for these things in 1st and 2nd trimester and now i remain on panic mode with any unusual feelings.

How you guys are dealing it?
