GTT

Hi, just wondering how long it took for you to get results of glucose tolerance test? I had mine last Friday, the nurse said no news is good news but if they needed to contact me they would call today. I’ve checked badger app and the results are saying “not published”. I’m keen to get results

35 weeks and over it!

Anyone else just so done now? This is my third pregnancy and the worst pregnancy by far! I had HG throughout most of my pregnancy which I've been medicated for, but still ended up in hospital on a drip! I have the worst reflux ever and have been prescribed omeprazole, and all this does is causes serious sulpher bu...

Rough pregnancy

Hi! I’m seeing a lot of women having rough pregnancies like me and I was wondering if there’s a correlation between a rough pregnancy and being on birth control before conception. With my first I was never on birth control and my pregnancy was mostly easy.

GTT Test

I have my GTT test on Friday when I’ll be 24+4. I am a little nervous due to the fact I cannot eat prior, I still get some sickness if I don’t eat when waking up. Alongside the fact I sometimes faint when having blood tests or my vains are super awkward, to the point I have to go to a special unit at my hospital to...

37 weeks

I’m 37 weeks today and feeling so rough. I had a night of awful contractions which I’m pretty sure were baby moving head down as bumps dropped considerably and getting pelvic pressure. I’m so nauseas all the time and can only manage tiny meals if anything (normally I’m a massive foody so it’s hard!) heartburn is a...

Flabby tummy

Ladies! First time momma, 6 months pp (c-section) and I’m really struggling with how my midsection looks 😔 I will admit, I did gain quite a bit of weight during pregnancy (about 50 lbs) but I’m only about 20 lbs away from my pre pregnancy weight and about 5% body fat from away from my pre pregnancy body fat…
