I just found out I’m pregnant 7 months PP (I had an emergency c section). I’m terrified. I was warned by the midwives several times to wait 12-18 months before getting pregnant again but this pregnancy was not planned! I’m dreading having to tell people and the reaction of medical staff! I feel like I’m going to be ...

Got my glucose tolerance test tomorrow at 09:00 but can’t find anything written down about when to fast from. Is it 21:00 so it’s 12 hours? I’ve read different things online 8-12 hours or 10-12 so if anyone’s done theirs already - please help?

Has anyone had the GTT at Colchester Hospital recently? I didn’t have it done in my last pregnancy but have been put in for one this time. A little bit nervous about the whole process, particularly the drink as I’ve heard it can be horrible

I'm feeling so guilty, I don't have any patience for my toddler in these late stages of pregnancy and it's making me feel like I can't connect to her properly. I'm worried that this will continue when the babies born :(. Anyone experiencing something similar?

I’m 35 weeks + 1 day. This is my second pregnancy. My son (now 17mo) was born after i developed gestational hypertension at 37 weeks and a failed induction which lasted 48 hours until i decided to do a c section instead.
