Had a rough couple of days but havent been able to put feeling off down to anything specific.
On Tuesday night at work (2-10pm) got really flushed and had to sit down with a cold drink til I felt better, had my urine dipped (I work in A&E) and advised to eat regular and up fluids as showing Ketones.
Yesterday felt just as bad and was suggested I rang the Pre-Birth Assessment Unit and they saw me straight away. They did my obs which were fine alhtough BP of 131/77 was a little high for me, had massive amount of Ketones again in my urine and recommended to have the GTT done but I explained that I am already booked in on monday and the midwife said that she thinks its highly possible that I have gestational diabetes.
Also seen by the Obs & Gynae Reg who did a swab as having large amount of discharge and thinks I have an infection around the cervix, cervix was closed
which is great news and just make sure I drink loads....I have a 20oz bottle which I drain 3-4 times during an 8 hour shift so thought I was drinking more than enough, I normally HATE water but appear to be craving it with this pregnancy.
suggested I put my feet up for a couple of days, not back in work til Sunday on a 2-10pm so will see how I feel and have the GTT, antenatal and consultant appointment Monday morning so will see what happens there.
