I have the first trimester anxieties creeping back in. I’m 32+5 and the closer I’m getting the show time I have an overwhelming feeling that something is going to go wrong.

I’ve just gone 15 weeks, I feel like I should be doing more. Should I be buying stuff already? I don’t know what I’m meant to be buying though? And then I’m worrying about all these other things like visitors when baby is born, certain rules when baby arrives etc. Maybe it’s hormones but it’s upsetting me and almos...

Is anyone currently taking progesterone suppositories and noticed an increase in anxiousness in themselves? I feel absolutely awful every day with waves of anxiety which aren’t even pregnancy related😔😢

I got my kit last week and they said LapCorp doesn’t do it and to go to quest. I finally had the time to go to Quest to get that done but they said they don’t do the test. I’m just so confused on where I’m supposed to go and my doctor’s office is no help.

I took my 1 hour test at 27w4d and failed by 2 points. Due to work, unable to get off the following week to go in for the 3 hour test.
