So I passed my glucose test for GD with a 134/140. My doctor wants me to do the 3-hour test and I absolutely don’t want to. I have no prior history of GD, this is my 3rd pregnancy and I’m healthy all around, so is baby. Has anyone else’s doctor wanted them to do the 3-hour test even with passing the 1 hour and having no prior GD history? I left a message for my doctor as to why she feels this is necessary so we can talk through my confusion and get some clarity but is anyone else in a similar boat? Thanks!

I massively failed my 1hr with my first but passed the 3hour. But I think I developed it later. With my second I passed the 1hr. With my third I technically failed the 1hr but a few points and they wanted me to do the 3rd but I said no. I knew I probably failed it because I couldn’t drink water and I didn’t move much so I didn’t burn anything off. And I could prick my finger at home.
I’d definitely ask why they want you to take the test again. But maybe just prick your finger at home for a couple weeks and see how it is. But I’d say no. I didn’t want to have to sit and not be able to eat or do anything for 3 hours when my kids were at home. That’s too much work

Hi! When I was pregnant last year same thing happened with me, my 1 hr glucose test was 131 and yet my OB asked me to do a 3 hour test which I passed, the reason is the 1 hour glucose test is a screening test and not a diagnostic test and different doctors/hospitals have different cutoffs so your 134 result might be slightly elevated according to them, so yeah you’ll probably pass the 3 hour test, and I took the 3 hour test because it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Has anyone turned 39 weeks on a Saturday and had a C-section? When you got your date was it the following Monday?

Im just wondering how every one is calculating there little ones age.
So my health visitor is going by weeks and says there isn't always 4 weeks in a month. Is this correct or is people going from the date there little one was born every month?

Hi all. Found out I'm pregnant just a few days ago. Saw this group exists and couldn't resist. I had a missed miscarriage in August so I'm incredibly nervous, but really trying to stay optimistic 🌈🌈🌈

I just want to start by saying that I know every pregnancy/delivery/baby is different. That being said, I'm due next month and have been seeing so many mamas due around that same time going into labor and having their babies early. I went over with my first baby and this is my 3rd pregnancy but 2nd baby. I know there's a chance I could have this baby early, though hopefully not too early. I've been told I could be at risk for preterm labor given that I got pregnant pretty close together (my first was only 6 months when I conceived) and I had preeclampsia towards the end of my first pregnancy. All this to say that I'm 33 weeks and have been mostly having Braxton Hicks since the second trimester and have occasionally had a few "real deal" contractions that have definitely made me have to stop and grab onto something or try to catch my breath. No fluid leaks or bleeding or anything like that, just terrible terrible pressure which I didn't start having until around 36 weeks with my first. I've also been super constipated this entire pregnancy, but since having a few more contractions have been pooping like crazy and have here and there had some not so fun diarrhea (which I dealt with right before labor started with my first and throughout my entire induction after being diagnosed with preeclampsia). I just get a bit in my head because I was born early around 35 weeks I'm pretty sure and my husband was born between 31 and 32 weeks and with the risks and the way I'm feeling and also the many mamas I've seen just popping at this point in their pregnancies I'm just not sure I should be worried or not. I do have an appointment lined up in the next couple of days to check things and make sure I'm not dilating or anything like that, but I'm still just so paranoid.

Has anyone experienced thrush in early pregnancy? Currently waiting for the GP to ring me back to see what treatment is safe but it’s so uncomfortable. I read it’s common given the hormonal changes? x
