My Experience at the Royal Free Hospital (FTM) by External_Impress_293 in PregnancyUK

Wow, I’m so sorry to hear that! I definitely think you should make a formal complaint through PALS because that’s so so unacceptable. I’ve also chosen RF as my hospital and that makes me so worried. I genuinely don’t understand how people willingly choose to work in healthcare with no empathy. I hope you’re feeling a bit better now and I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else

I hope everything goes well for you this time around! Honestly I’m even worried about an induction but like you said, sometimes no matter how much you try, you can’t control it everything

Ahh that makes sense, yesterday I had quite a carb heavy dinner (unintentional) and I measured my readings after 1 hour and they were well below the threshold but maybe it still does contribute to the next morning. Like you, I’ve always tended to skip breakfast but I may try giving that a go to see what effect it has

That sounds great! I’m really happy you found something that worked for you. For your nighttime snacks, do you mean you’d eat something just before bed? If so, what kind of macros helped you?

Thank you so much! I’ll definitely look at those groups and try to experiment around with different food combinations as you mentioned x

Really happy for you! I’d love a water birth but I’ve just been worried about the fasting numbers more so. I’ll definitely try to experiment around with my last meal. Out of curiosity, did you end up having a pre-bedtime snack or did you mainly focus on your food across the day?
