I’m 8 weeks today and seen baby for first time and everything looks fine but honestly feel so down and worried.

I barely failed the glucose test (141 and the cutoff for my office is 139). I’m dreading the 3 hour test-should I just advocate for finger pricks? I really don’t think 2 points off is that concerning?! Anyone have insight?

I have been feeling a lot of anxiety and some depression recently the past month. Sometimes something or someone triggers me and I immediately start crying and I just get in a depressive state.

Is anyone else experiencing extreme pregnancy rage? Idk if mine is from stress aortic anxiety but its to the point it feels like its effecting baby. What can even be done for it?

I definitely do. I had my yearly well visit and meditation management appointment today (got me a new fancy Retin-A script). I knew I would need blood work done and getting my Tdap booster and I have an irrational fear of needles. So I was low key freaking out. My BP was 138/94 when they took it. Which is boarderlin...

Just visited my midwife today for measurements etc. It turns out that my belly is size of 30week, that’s a big drop.

My LG is 7 months now & I’ve been doing purées with the occasional cucumber stick etc - this is only when my partner is around. My little girl chocked when she was younger & stopped breathing when we gave her some medi...
