I was so scared for mine, and it was completely fine! The drink tasted a bit like a crap lucozade sport, but I didn’t feel sick or anything when waiting for the blood test. Was absolutely shattered when I got home and the sugar had worn off though, but my results came back perfectly fine. Everyone is so different so try not to scare yourself with the stories of people not having a good experience!

Hey Natasha, I had the test,
I ended up having GD, but the consultants and diabetes midwifes were so great at monitoring and supporting me through it.

Nothing to be scared of, even if you end up testing high, all manageable ❤️

Had mine yesterday so waiting on the results. I had GD on my first pregnancy so praying I escape it this time!

First time, I felt very nauseous about 20 mins after the drink and went to get sick but managed to keep it down. Felt very hot and sweaty for a little bit but it eased. This time I felt a bit hot and woozy for about 5 mins and it passed.

It’s hard to stomach when you’ve had to fast but loads of people feel totally fine on it. And annoying to get three blood tests. Just bring water to sip and a good book. Maybe a little fan if you have one in case the room is hot x

Mine was absolutely fine, I took a babybel and an apple so I could eat as soon as the final blood test was done. We chatted as a group which I think helped as none of our group had any issues, so maybe take something to occupy your mind.

Good luck

I've had two during my pregnancy (most recent being last week) and they both went completely fine. The drink is like a flat energy drink but wasn't too bad and I felt okay during the entire thing (didnt feel nauseous at all). I would advise bringing a snack to eat straight afterwards though as I felt a little run down after, from not eating. You'll be fine!

Read so many horror stories but I was worried for nothing. It was fine for me and didnt make me feel queasy or anything. I just got bored waiting that was all xx

Cheers girls this makes me more at ease and I will update tomorrow xx

Fall

Last night at about 3am I had a fall, I’m 29 weeks+2 days pregnant. Thankfully I didn’t land directly on my belly but I did land quite hard on my side. I’ve definitely bashed both my knees quite hard. I’m quite concerned because I don’t know what’s going on with the baby but I do have a scan today at the hospital so they should be able to see if there’s any problems there. Has anyone else fallen during their pregnancy? Have you had any problems because of it?

Not sure how I feel about announcing 3rd baby… any one else felt this way?

So I’m now 10.5 weeks pregnant with 3rd baby. My 12 week scan is booked in for the week after next.

My first two children are twins a boy and girl so most people probably think we’re not going to have anymore. Also my daughter is SEN and non verbal at age 3. Our son had a speech delay but now is a very chatty toddler and has completely caught up 😊.

Anyway I’ve only told my mum and sister that I’m pregnant and no one else knows. I can’t help but feel we will get some negativity with announcing this one.

We don’t ask for help.. never ask for baby sitters. I stay at home with my twins and they go to nursery twice a week and my partner works full time. The only person who occasionally looks after the twins is my mum for the odd appointment and we are ok financially.

The older I get though the more bitter people seem to be in general which I don’t think is personal but people just seem like that these days. We did have some negativity with my twins which was odd as I was 30 and in a stable relationship 😅

How was it when you announced your 3rd? Did anyone else feel this way?

Feeling scared.

I am 39 weeks pregnant. Ive had a baby before but oh my God I'm so nervous about birth. I'm trying to be zen and all chill and just wait for baby to make their appearance. I feel more anxious than first time around. Does anyone have any words of affirmation? Or anything that really helped them. Thank you 😊
