Anyone else due around the same time for support?

I’m based in derbyshire and I’m currently 31+4 due October 27th! I have gestational diabetes and classed as high risk so waiting for my next scan and clinic to see what’s being said about inductions or natural birth etc My partner is incredibly supportive but we have no one around us that is due around the same time to message when those random questions worries come up! This is our first baby after 4 consecutive loses all of which passed naturally in the first trimester so this is all new territory

I am due 20th October!

I'm not local, but I'm due the 19th October, I also have gestational diabetes. It's such a mind field. Feel free to message me 😊

I’m due the same date at you with a little girl! Happy for you to message about anything 😊

@Kirsty have you been able to connect with many due around the same time? How are you finding it?

@Rosie isn’t it just! I was already classed as high risk with my history and my size but now have been passed to the diabetes clinic as that seems to trump everything else! I’m still fighting to get a nice level with blood sugars which just makes me think we will be advised to go for an induction! Babies size worries me in the sense of knowing what size clotjes etc 🫣

@Rosie I've had a few messages but nothing consistent unfortunately. I had a horrendous first trimester with insomnia and nausea. I'm now going through Braxton hicks and joint instability... So much fun! What about you GD must be hard to manage?

I’m due a few days after you with gestational diabetes, not local but happy to message. I’m also feeling really nervous about baby’s size, inductions and birth etc. although these comments have made me feel I’m not on my own x

@Michelle im also finding it hard with blood sugar levels Michelle, so pleased I’m not the only one. It just feels like one thing after another doesn’t it x

@Michelle bless you, have you had any growth scans yet? I had one already and my next one is Monday.

I'm due 26th with a little girl
