Paranoid

Paranoid because my son sat on my lap weirdly earlier and I felt such an horrible tug in my uterus and down the left side hip area.. 5+1.. I’m guessing lots of pregnant mums have other children that sit awkwardly sometimes too and it’s okay?

Glucose test

Does anyone know how the 3 hour glucose test works as far as what’s passing and what’s failing? I missed the call from my doctor and now they’re closed until Tuesday. I’m trying to understand my lab results but I’m confused and I feel like I failed.

Gestational diabetes test

I had my glucose test today but they didn’t offer me the drink? They just took my bloods. My appointment was literally in and out for one round of bloods. I asked about the drink and told the midwife I was expecting to be here for 2hrs and she said we haven’t done that since Covid… Anyone else experienced this? 😖
