I posted a few days ago. But I’m 31 weeks now and I keep having hypoglycaemic episodes. I’ve not been feeling well and not been eating as much but not had that before in pregnancy. I also am quite thirsty and need to wee all the time. But I forget to drink then down two pints so it’s hard to say. Either way I’m not feeling great.Is there a reason you're expecting to be told you have it?
I had mine on a Monday and got a call on the Thursday to make a referral appt with a diabetic nurse xGot my GTT tomorrow. How quickly do they let you know if there’s an issue? Does anyone know? X
Thank you - I have a lovely broker lunch on Wednesday I want to enjoy in blissful ignoranceI had mine on a Monday and got a call on the Thursday to make a referral appt with a diabetic nurse x

Sounds itThe last couple days I've had like butterflies and then today got in the bath and felt what sort of felt like taps as others have described. Almost like a bruise pain but in short bursts in one small spot... Is this baby!? (I'm 17+3)

Tetley decaf! (personally) I think it tastes great and I love tea...well I did until I went off it early pregnancyDoes anyone have any good decaf tea recommendations or herbal teas that are safe to drink?
I had one at 16 weeks. My trust uses an online portal and my results were on there about 7pm the same day. Got one on Thursday as well!Got my GTT tomorrow. How quickly do they let you know if there’s an issue? Does anyone know? X
I was pretty miserable until about week 16-18 (nothing like you have been through though!) and also felt quite sad about not enjoying being pregnant after we had waited so long. I hope things improve. I found it helped to really embrace even the smallest improvements, like being able to get up and go out on a Saturday morning, or having energy to do the washing up, or be able to make my own breakfast without being sick. But, it was also hard to do when I was still feeling terrible so do try to be kind to yourself, it is very toughTetley decaf!

Also, why do films, shows ect make pregnancy seem glamorous? Currently at week 15 having had bleeding, nosebleeds and a burst ovarian cyst and still having nausea, sickness, heartburn, anxiety and now milk blisters which are quite painful. If anyone has any remedies I would be so grateful. Just feeling sorry for myself, and not sure of my point. It took us so long to conceive, we used fertility treatment, and feel I should be enjoying it more but really I just feel quite upset I am not enjoying it and wishing time away until baby is here. Sorry for the moan but I know some of you have experienced similar and it has been helpful to not feel alone x
I can’t offer any advice, but just to share that you’re not alone. We really struggled to conceive too and I expected pregnancy to be this magical and beautiful thing (which it is!!) but I also feel so shit, and then feel guilty for feeling shit when this is what we’ve desperately wanted for so long.Tetley decaf!

I was having a moan about looking fat instead of pregnant at work the other day and one of my colleagues told me ‘sh don’t be negative your baby will feel it’ made me feel like a right cowI can’t offer any advice, but just to share that you’re not alone.

I’ve got an appt for 9.05. I think it’s just where the normal blood test dept is so not sure if I get there early it will make any difference?I had one at 16 weeks. My trust uses an online portal and my results were on there about 7pm the same day. Got one on Thursday as well!
Hot tip, get there early like 15-30 minutes before they tell you to arrive, means you will start your countdown earlier and get to eat sooner! MIL is picking me up at 7.45!
Btw, I think you’re totally entitled to feeling shit and complaining about it. Doesn’t make you any less grateful or want your baby any less, same for all of us xxxI can’t offer any advice, but just to share that you’re not alone.

Pregnancy is HARD. I felt like absolute shit for 90% of it, I was so miserable, I think I was on here most days moaning how much I hated it and how I couldn’t wait for it to end.Also, why do films, shows ect make pregnancy seem glamorous?

When we had our scan with WTTW on Saturday I didn’t really notice but after looking at our pictures the baby is measuring at 9.6cm. Wtf, is that really tiny for 16+4?!
Hm, mine is in the antenatal clinic. Basically 2 days a week they just do blood tests in the clinic. they book however many people they can fit in, you queue up at the desk and get a number. Then they call you for the first blood draw + drink in number order, and same again after 2 hours. But if it's in the normal blood test place it may be run slightly differently.I’ve got an appt for 9.05. I think it’s just where the normal blood test dept is so not sure if I get there early it will make any difference?
Yeah mine is just in the phlebotomy department too - they’ve booked me in for 9:25I’ve got an appt for 9.05. I think it’s just where the normal blood test dept is so not sure if I get there early it will make any difference?
That isn't baby's size, it's something to do with the scanner I think. The one from my 12 week scan says 19hz/ 20cm which is huge for 12 weeks!When we had our scan with WTTW on Saturday I didn’t really notice but after looking at our pictures the baby is measuring at 9.6cm. Wtf, is that really tiny for 16+4?!
