oh god mlbarrett i am the same. i hate fasting and stuff and think i would faint. so lets see what the mw says then as see her next week. no one has mentioned the GTT yet so prob when i see mw next time.

watching a bizarre funeral program with dh. so weird.

The main reason for me having it was down to my BMI (i'm not the slimmest person around). Plus mw found some glucose in my urine at 25 week appt so wanted me to have GTT before today.

Thankfully no glucose in wee today. Have changed my breakfast eating from coco pops and toast, to sultana bran with yoghurt and toast which mw thinks has helped. Also having orange juice to make iron absorption more effective from the sultanas and bran flakes.

Have you tried hot squash, Rups? I find it's helped with any sore throats, especially when I've not wanted to take pain killers.

oh gosh i was worried about that because i am big too. weird thing was when i saw gp at 25 weeks he didnt say anything so i will take that as a positive i guess. i did worry that i did put on weight quickly and istill keep eating. oops.. fingers crossed for next week then.

I've had to have 2 GTT's the 2nd one was worse for me and I did 'crash' which is common for me after having sugar, you will be fine rups its not that bad.

Just posting quickly on my phone, hope everyone is ok. Had a few short sharp stabbing pains around my cervix, kind of like being stabbed with a needle. Ive had kicks/punches from babies there before and its a different feeling altogether. Anyone know if this is a sign of my cervix getting ready or just one of those things? TIA

Mw decided as soon as she weighed me at booking in. Guess it's just to be on the safe side.

Hi mountainmum :wave:

Sorry to hear your bad test news, snowbean

Labour vibes to the boldies

Had 28 week appt today. GTT came back fine, iron levels fine, bump measured at 29cm so pretty good, heartbeat really strong. Head downwards but that could easily change.

Mentioned to midwife that B Strep was detected last year and she had difficulty finding it in my medical notes. Finally have a copy of the letter confirming it. Guess it means I won't be leaving for the hospital at the last min. Better get some cash put aside for the car park.

One thing I did forget to ask the midwife: when should I get MATB1?

You should have got it from mw around 24-26 weeks. (depending when you had apppointments) I had to send mine to my hr dept by the time I was 27 weeks to confirm my mat leave details.

Thanks LittleMoog. Will ask mw in 3 weeks' time at my next appt. Must put a post-it on my notes to remind me. HR have my leave dates and are writing to me to confirm them.

Not sure I will log in before induction at 10. My hospital don't let you use mobiles either so will quite possibly be awal now. I lost my mucus plug before so hoping things will go quickly and smoothly. Fingers crossed. x

I hope not as I've been getting them too over the last few days :eek: when I've googled it, it sounds like it's normal but I don't remember having them the last time.
