Maternity care is like a decision map that doesn’t make any sense!
Maternity care is like a decision map that doesn’t make any sense!Got mine tomorrow, had to ring my GP to book as the hospital I’m going to don’t offer it. The receptionist said it had to be after my 20 week scan despite the midwife at my 16 week appt saying I could get it from any timethink my GP was in the wrong but anyway! My friend got it done at the hospital when she had her 20 week scan so think it just varies.
You do need a full bladder, yesGuys I've my 12 week scan tomorrow - do I need a full bladder and a urine sample? My letter doesn't mention it.
It was 28 weeks for me but I’m not sure if it’s different elsewhere!Just to check, is there a blood test at the 25 week appointment? OH is having to take me but he doesn’t want to come in if he’s at risk of fainting again
I had my 25 week appointment today, no blood test but wee sample and blood pressure xxJust to check, is there a blood test at the 25 week appointment? OH is having to take me but he doesn’t want to come in if he’s at risk of fainting again

How many weeks were you at the last one? My friend had to have GTT with both her pregnancies as they had big bellies but she was negative for both. I guess it’s good they’re being careful, hope you get a good result again.Sonographer thinks baby is just big but as his abdomen is slightly outside normal ranges we need the scan reviewed by a Dr so currently waiting in the assessment unit. She also said the dr might want me to do the GTT againwhat is it going to find that the first two didn't!
I didn’t, but take a load of water to chug just in case! My letter explicitly said I didn’t, I don’t know whyGuys I've my 12 week scan tomorrow - do I need a full bladder and a urine sample? My letter doesn't mention it.
My friend had to have the GTT done three times during her pregnancy and passed every time, she just had a big baby (birth etc was all fine though!)Sonographer thinks baby is just big but as his abdomen is slightly outside normal ranges we need the scan reviewed by a Dr so currently waiting in the assessment unit.

Thank you, have been sent home with a glucose monitor and follow up appointment next week. I did GTT at 16 and 28 weeks, currently 28+5. Almost tempted to live off chocolate for the next week to make sure it gives the result they seem to expect!How many weeks were you at the last one?

Tbh, I don't think it would work anywayThank you, have been sent home with a glucose monitor and follow up appointment next week. I did GTT at 16 and 28 weeks, currently 28+5. Almost tempted to live off chocolate for the next week to make sure it gives the result they seem to expect!
Honestly don’t, it’s not a fun diagnosis. If you’re given the all clear with this one I’d refuse any more tests.Thank you, have been sent home with a glucose monitor and follow up appointment next week.

Take the test!! It's the only way to put your mind at rest. I had my girl at 16 so I can relate to the anxiety, remember you have options though! I hope you're OK xNot sure if this is the right place to go, but may as well give a go. I’m worried I might b pregnant (don’t really want to be, sorry if insensitiveim 18), don’t think it’s very likely but the irrational part of my brain is panicking. Picked up some tests to do in the morning, but am on a medication that I’ve read has the potential to cause false positive, although probably unlikely. I’m scared of this happening and not being able to tell if a potential positive is real or not and getting really stressed about it for no reason. Not sure whether to take the test or not.
Thanks for your reply! Honestly think it’s unlikely based on dates and using contraception etc., but just had some worrying symptoms so idk what to thinkTake the test!!
