@louise1700 Yeah I haven’t been too worried either because it’s been so intermittent and some vision changes are normal in pregnancy. That’s what’s scary, is that I don’t know what’s normal and what’s concerning! Ugh. Thank you though. I appreciate it.

@tcdchameleon Thanks :( I am more so just sad because I feel like it’s going to be GD and hypertension/maybe pre-e eventually. Definitely feels like I’m heading down that road!

@nikki_virginia I’m hoping mine stays borderline for as long as possible. I think knowing things can change overnight is what’s scaring me. I would like to make it to 34 weeks at the very least which is still on the early side. And I’ve got a ways to go until I get there!! Thanks for the tip...

@goodward Im a little disappointed my doctor didn’t have me test sooner since I have PCOS, too.

@goodward Thank you. I really appreciate your kind words 🥹 What prompted you to get tested so early for GD? I’m a little concerned I most likely left it untreated for a long time.

@goodward I am definitely grateful for such a great OB and MFM who work very closely together. It’s just scary. It’s nothing like what I imagined pregnancy to be. And that’s okay. But I just don’t think I was ready for this.

@fw777 I’m going to buy a blood pressure cuff today. I know my doctor is going to recommend me buying one when I see him next week, anyway. I’m glad everything was okay with you.

@jordana14 Yeah my appetite has been ruined by this pregnancy. The reflux is unbearable. I’ve always been weird with meat but it’s 50x worse now. Ugh. Thanks though. It does feel like such a huge deal right now!

@tiffy209 Thank you 😞 It’s just hard because nothing is even appetizing to me except carbs, mainly.

@peterpalms I really don't have white coat syndrome though, I don't think. I have never had BP issues prior to getting pregnant. However I could be freaking myself out now because I am so worried about my bp, I suppose? I should go get a BP cuff for home, though. You're right!

@iazlover This was so sweet. I definitely did feel angry and needed to grieve a bit last night. This pregnancy has sucked since week 6 between the nausea, reflux, hip pains, muscle pains, etc. etc. I was totally throwing myself a pity party last night because it’s just been way harder than I...

@alisa471 So did it progress pretty quickly? And was GD a factor as well, or just BP? My doctors aren't super concerned right now it seems, but I am.

@alisa471 Did you have the overnight because of the blood pressure? I appreciate you adding the positivity. I’m terrified of that long of a NICU stay. I don’t get short term disability and am panicked about being off work for that long. Did you guys continue to work and visit them each day??

@annabry This made me feel so much better. Thanks for sharing. I am an anxiety prone person so I am definitely thinking the worst.

I am about 27 weeks with di/di twins. I failed my 1 hour glucose test today. I go in tomorrow for my three hour. I’m sure I’m going to fail. Yesterday was my baby shower and after I ate, my heart started beating really fast, I got a headache, and I got very thirsty. It was pretty scary but I...
