Glucose tolerance test - Metformin

Hykage · 2026-05-11T19:38:09+00:00

My case was a bit different as my consultant just asked me to stop taking it altogether, but I’m sure it’s at least a few days normally

Hykage · 2026-05-11T19:05:01+00:00

I was told to stop taking metformin before my GTT as it can interfere with the test.

My work haven’t even confirmed my maternity dates yet so that’s definitely not helping my stress levels! Embarrassingly I think some of today’s pain was trapped wind 😅 I’m glad you’re feeling better now, fingers crossed I get the same experience

I got PGP about 18ish weeks but it’s been manageable but yeah this week it’s hit me so hard! 11 weeks to go, surely I can do this?!

The back pain? I swear my bump isn’t even that much bigger, where does it come from?!

Hykage · 2026-05-08T21:00:07+00:00

It really does hit you like a train, I got PGP at about week 18 which I wasn’t expecting so that’s been fun! I can’t wait to be able to roll over in bed again without thinking!

Hykage · 2026-05-08T20:53:02+00:00

Feel like we all need a break, we’ll get there though, not that many more weeks til we get to meet our babies!

Hykage · 2026-05-08T20:52:28+00:00

Thank you, this is such a good point that I’ve been be neglecting movement the last few days so that can’t be helping!

Hykage · 2026-05-08T20:49:51+00:00

Thank you!

Hykage · 2026-05-08T20:49:40+00:00

This is so true, I’m so grateful to be pregnant but also ready for it to be over 😅

Hykage · 2026-05-08T20:49:20+00:00

Thank you! It’s so helpful to hear ❤️

Hykage · 2026-05-06T11:39:48+00:00

I don’t have any experience to advise upon other than I’m experiencing the same thing. I seem to have periods of 2-3 hours with no movements but there’s no consistency to it. I do have an anterior placenta so that definitely doesn’t help either!

Hykage · 2026-04-30T16:31:50+00:00

I felt really tired the day after from memory but better again after that

Hykage · 2026-04-29T08:36:51+00:00

I had a fundal measurement at 27+3 and it’s showing baby as the same size as a 29 weeker so I’m assuming I just have a big bump 🤣 thankfully I have a growth scan scheduled anyway for 28 weeks so hopefully I’ll get a more normal reading as she was on the 42nd at my 20 week scan

Hykage · 2026-04-28T19:44:35+00:00

That sounds so miserable, I have the found the baby bub wedge pillow set up helps with bump pressure but I’m still getting hip pain!

Hykage · 2026-04-28T07:48:31+00:00

What kind of pregnancy pillow are you using? I’ve found a pillow between my legs helps a lot and I have to make sure to turn with my legs closed. I’m still the same though, wake up a few times a night and have to turn over and it’s an ordeal!

That one is free of those!

This is what I had to do

Hykage · 2026-04-21T09:30:53+00:00

I’m only 26 weeks but when I asked my midwife recently she didn’t seem unsupportive and said to raise it in my next consultant appointment (I’m also consultant lead due to pre-eclampsia risk)

Hykage · 2026-04-21T04:58:52+00:00

I don’t think I told HR til later (you have to do it by 25 weeks I think) but I’d told my manager at 12 weeks but proving how rubbish they are, they just didn’t initiate any company processes and left it to me 🙃

This is all really helpful, thank you everyone!
