Glucose test

Has anyone failed the glucose test by 1 point? What did your OB do? Did you have to take the 3 hour test, did you pass it? I'm prone to passing out while I'm pregnant, so fasting +4 blood draws makes me soooooo nervous. I had my results on MyChart on Thursday morning but my doctor hasn't contacted me about what I ne...

Now what

Just found out I’m pregnant with number 3. Absolutely terrified. I have an appointment with BPAS but I really don’t know if I can go through with it, I’m so torn. My daughters are 12 and 4, the age gap between the baby and my oldest is so big and I’m worried they won’t bond as well. We’re in a two bed house, we’ll n...

Losing hope now.

Really really losing hope now. Me and my partner have been actively trying for the last 6 months. I’m 21 and he’s nearly 24. Every month (besides March as I didn’t track) I’ve caught my ovulation peak and been baby dancing at all the relevant times (if not too much lol) and nothing seems to be getting anywhere....

Feeling down

Reaching the 3rd trimester now and I’ve suddenly started to feel a bit lonely and down. I don’t really have much reason for it and I’ve been pretty happy through this 2nd trimester. I wonder if it’s knowing birth is imminent or maybe I’m aware of how many people are going to swarm once baby is here. I like space. ...

Gestational diabetes test

I have been referred for this test but I have no idea what it entails. Has anyone had it before in previous pregnancy? Is it just a blood test? I’m working so trying to figure out how long I’ll need to tell my office I’ll be away for.
