Low blood sugar.

I had my glucose test today and the results came back with my sugar at 57. Has anyone else dealt with having low blood sugar? I felt absolutely horrible for hours after the test. Any advice is welcome.

Waiting on NIPT results

Feeling very anxious due to having fluid on baby’s neck and having a high results coming back for my first blood test. I have now had a NIPT test done and waiting on the results in 7 days. It’s consuming me! Just looking for some similar mums out there in the same situation ❤️

GTT

I’ve just gone for my first lot of bloods and my glucose drink - they sent me home saying I can wait there instead. But I’ve just been sick from it and have only been able to keep it down for an hour. What do I do??

I Was Not Prepared Rant

28 weeks with my second and I’m not sure why but I didn’t realize how much harder subsequent pregnancies would be. My first pregnancy was not bad thank goodness. I had pretty mild issues like heartburn and round ligament pain but WOW this time I feel like I’m falling apart every single time I move or breathe. I’ve b...

Panic over movements

Am I too laid back???

I am normally such a planner, prepping so far in advance for things and filled with anxiety, but baby is on the way in Jan and I’m more chilled than I’ve ever been in my life, to the point I haven’t really bought much and keep thinking I’ll get it all in December! Am I delulu?? Or is this normal?

This may be a dumb question..

I’ve recently been diagnosed with GD. Today is only my second day testing at home. I was reading through some posts on here and when I see people refer to their levels they’re saying numbers like 10 and 12. I’m just confused as my readings are like in 95-150 range. The directions were kinda confusing and I’ve yet to...

Is gestational age from period or conception?

So can somebody explain this more please as it’s all messing with my head?! Is gestational age or gestational age based on ultrasound CRL starting from your lmp or when you conceived? So how many weeks pregnant you are altogether, when does that start from? It’s all so confusing.

When did you give birth?

First-time boy-mom here and I’m currently 36 weeks. I don’t know if baby is going to wait much longer, he is definitely acting like he wants out. So my question to you mommies is how many weeks were you when your baby came (naturally) full works water break, labor, contractions or however it goes?
