Feeling defeated

I am at the point where I feel so defeated. I have gestational diabetes and honestly have been doing really (good besides fasting numbers which isn't the problem rn) but I am getting to the point where I am getting depressed when it comes to eating. It's mostly because I am eating the same foods all the time and lim...

Midwife not responding

Who do I contact to make my next appointment with my midwife ? (Either 25 or 28 weeks I'm not sure as it's my 2nd pregnancy) I've texted her twice on the days she does her clinic but no response. I understand she is mega mega busy, but I'm 24 weeks now and would like a date in the diary for our next appointment…

Did your baby’s pattern change from 26-28 weeks?

I’ve been into triage a few days ago for reduced movement and they told me baby’s pattern is likely to change from now until 28 weeks. The past month or so I’ve established what I thought was definitely a pattern but apparently now it wasn’t?😅

Midwife

Anyone not overly keen on their midwife? Today was my first actual appointment with her (my “16 week” one even tho I’m 18 weeks) and it was only a phone call which is fine but I just didn’t feel like we “gelled” or that she really took in what I was saying. This is baby no.4 for me and although I’ll not have anothe...

Same midwife?

If you’re on your second pregnancy can I ask if your midwife is the same this time round as the one you had last time? I’m keen not to have the same due to a mistake made by my midwife resulting in birth trauma. My appointment next week doesn’t show the name of my midwife and I’m anxious about it being the same midw...

Postpartum Bridesmaid Dress Size

I am starting to dress shop for my friend’s June 2025 wedding and I wanted to get some guidance on what size I should buy. Can I expect to be back in my pre-pregnancy size (M) if my due date is 2/28 and the wedding is in late June? Just for some context, I have exercised throughout my whole pregnancy and now, at...

Cutting off

Apparently confiding in my mom with my medical information and pregnancy complications means to tell the entire fucking world even when I asked for it to not be shared. Welp looks like next update she gets is when I’m in labor.

Within 5 min time frame- shadow?

Have put the one out of time frame (1hr later) in comments- it got much darker. Horrendous cramping today too. I know the second one technically isn’t valid but is this likely to be a really early positive instead of an evap?
