How long did it take to get results back please

I got my diabetes test tomorrow 9am and I'm a little nervous I don't know how I'm going to feel I've read people feeling sicky and also lately if I leave it too long to eat I feel dizzy and I don't want to feel like that I'm having a banana now before 12am. I can drink as much water as I want? Also the wait seems so...

Slightly off topic but has anyone had an early gender blood test and it’s been wrong?

I feel full of so much rage sometimes and then I snap at people around me and then I get hysterically upset because I know I’m being so horrible but can’t control it. I feel so unstable with the hormones and emotions right now!

I think i may be having a girl for baby #2 this first trimester has been so much easier than before for me! My son had me dry heaving/gagging on NOTHING every day and every morning until i was 15 weeks and i still got nauseous this time around but i didn’t suffer nearly as much as i did with my son. I’m around 12 we...

I've been taking these since 6 weeks pregnant and I'm unsure when I should stop them before labour begins.. I'm worried that I'll take the dose of fragmin and then a few hours later I'm in labour. I worry cause I know once you take the fragmin injection there is some stuff you can't have during your birth until 12...

Born at 35weeks, healthy as anything. My little bubba beau. Due date was supposed to be 29/11/24❤️ Induced, painful and traumatic birth for me.

Do you count your babies' age by weeks (8 weeks = 2 months) or by months on the day they were born (21st July to 21st August)??

Is anyone else still waiting on their blood test results from the booking appointment? Or got them back a little later than expected? It’s been over 2 weeks and I still haven’t heard anything 🤔

Just wondered if you get tested for diabetes in every pregnancy, how to they know to test you, when would you be told you need a test and what stage? First time pregnancy sorry if this is a silly question.

What signs/symptoms should I be cautious of? I didn't know you shouldn't eat rhubarb while pregnant

I really don't like to look at my legs , I always had some veins, but during my second pregnancy they became so bad and big in some parts I have like really dark bruises....is just 6months of pregnancy...I feel really sad about this....who had the same, what did you do ? Can you get rid of them ?

Currently 11 weeks pregnant my labs came back should I worry ??

I recently found out I’m pregnant again which was a complete surprise to my husband and I. Whilst we’re really happy, the realisation that there will only be a 17 month age gap has hit me I’m starting to feel really nervous and guilty for my January baby given I thought we would have a lot more time or making memori...

Super worried that something bad might happen, does anyone feel similar? I’m excited but then I overthink everything and get overwhelmed. Any advice??

36 weeks and I have seriously over done it the past few days. I’ve been out and about walking, at Disney on ice and tonight walked to my local fireworks and stood around and walked back and my back is in bits and my tummy feels really sore. I’m now in the bath trying to relax and will slow down now with gentle shor...

I am due 25/11, although likely I might end up going a little earlier due to Gestational diabetes. I had planned because of all the unknowns to have Xmas at home with my partner (my parents live 30mins drive for context) but my mum doesn’t seem to understand why I’d want to do that and wants me to go there. But my p...

Just found out I’m pregnant, I am so excited but also shitting it having 2 under 2! Any help or advice?🥹🥹

If my due date is 27th January when was my last LMP ? And around what time did I conceive, and would April 9th be irrelevant to this pregnancy? Just looking for some reassurance.

Last time I was TTC you could buy first response everywhere, now there are nowhere to be seen! Which are the next best tests?
