Welp, officially diagnosed. I cried. lol. Blood sugar was 211 for the test. 😔 going to see a specialist but for now I’ve started the diet that mainly consists of things that taste like cardboard. I’m so petrified it won’t go away after my son is born. Anyone else have it?

Does anyone know what happens at the 25 week midwife appointment? Do we also get offered a 28 week appointment? Trying to figure out which ones it’s helpful for my husband as he can’t take every one off work! Thank you 🙏🏼

do you book in early pregnancy unit if youve had a referral letter or does the midewife do it?
Anyone else find out that they have it? I was told I was one point over so I’m classed as diabetic in this pregnancy! A bit gutted and scared as I don’t know where to start 😣
Please help!! Do you see a line?! I’m so unsure, it’s different in different lights. I’m due my period tomorrow!

Hi everyone! I had my baby about 18 hours ago and her sugar levels are up and down. She seems to have 2 really good readings in a row and then the final one will be too low (my hospital requires 3 good readings in a row). I’m just wondering if anyone else’s babies have had this? So far shes still on the ward with ...
I’m 36 years old and pregnant with my second. Did your OBGYN automatically just refer you to a Perinatal Physician? I received a call (voicemail) from the clinic asking me to set up my appointment but my OB never mentioned anything. Of course the office is now closed and I’m wondering why I was referred. I haven’t h...

How long did it take for you to receive your exemption certificate? I'm 17+4 and have been paying for my prescriptions as I still haven't received mine. I applied with my midwife at my GP surgery on 30th July but it was postal so I know it can take time. I'm going back and forth between my GP surgery and the NHS pre...
I had my bloodwork done at 10weeks and it looks like I have elevated TSH (4.56) and I’m being started on medication. Anyone else have any experience with this? I’m a bit nervous it wasn’t found until now- but we just saw baby on the ultrasound on Monday looking just fine.
Should I contact NHS 24 or midwife? This rash has just appeared on my legs(this one’s the worst) is not overly itchy but it looks very angry and seems to go right down my leg. There’s no point in me contacting my GP because they only do E-consults so should I contact NHS 24? I could contact midwife but o don’t have...
So I have just been sitting with my partner and he just asked if the midwife I’ve been seeing through my pregnancy will be in the hospital room when we give birth and it’s genuinely something I hadn’t even thought of, I just assumed she was the community midwife so she’s the one I go to appointments and have a point...
