Okies, so glucose tolerance test was today UPDATED

Wasn't too bad really, I was a bit dizzy and pukey at first due to lack of noms, but the nurse was lovely and found me an empty room, so I had a very relaxing two hours lying on a bed reading- lovely and peaceful when you've spent all the summer holidays with a bored 4 year old hanging off you every day, lol. Unfortunately as it was at the doc surgery and not the hospital, I have to wait about a week for the results. I was also told that my doc had asked for extra blood to be taken to check out a possible vitamin B12 and Folate deficiency, so I'm a little anxious to just get all the results over and done with.

I've spent the last week in a really low place, and for the first time since tri-1 I've really noticed the lack of anti-depressants (I've been on them for years, came off when I got preg). I don't know why, but something in me has really panicked at the idea of having Gestational Diabetes- I've been depressed, having panic attacks and not sleeping well at all. I don't think OH knows how to deal with it, and I don't blame him as I don't really know how to either. Gah, I sound so whiney, I apologise.

Guess I'll just have to wait until I get results, then take it from there. Just feeling a bit hopeless until I know what's what. I suppose this is what we're all here for on the forum though, to have a good moan at each other about our worries? Hope no-one minds

anxiety is awful hun and when it hits no matter what it is about its very intense, so yes you are right there is nothing you can do til you find out the results but its hard to control the anxiety. Have you thought about getting a Hypnotherpy CD to help cope with anxiety? Speak to your doctor about it and get referred to a counsellor or there is a mild anti-depressant that you are supposed to be able to take during pregnancy. Dont suffer alone xxx

*lofepramine* is the anti-depressant

Thankyou sweetheart. I guess I'm trying to get through this pregnancy without any medication, I figure I've come this far. I do see a counsellor, it's just hard sometimes when the extra loads of anxiety hits. Feel a lot better today though x
