Advice please!

I’ve come to hospital with reduced movements and now they won’t let me go because I have ketones in my urine. My blood sugars are spot on.

Line progress

Is this a good line progression? Idk how many dpi I am as this came as a surprise. I was due for my prd on 1/8. Idk how far along I am according to my app I am 4w3d. My OB placed the blood test as stat as I would be high risk. This would be baby #3 I have 2 boys so praying for a girl lol.

Medway Maritime Hospital

Hi all, posting anonymously as we have not announced yet. Just wondering how long it usually takes for a midwife to make contact after submitting the form on the website?

Any guesses?

Group B Strep

I have realised today that I never did a swab for Group B Strep, I definitely did this in my first pregnancy. I’m 37+3 today and my next midwife appointment I’ll be 39+1 (my 38 week appointment 🙄). I should definitely have done this by now right? I’m not going mad?

Line eyes?

I know I’ve taken apart the test, it was within the time frame once the ink had settled… The glossy plastic was making it very difficult to see due to the light reflecting. Does anyone else see anything?

GD RESULTS

35 weeks and all of a sudden I’m having meals that would usually spike me and now my results are under? What usually would give me a high result now doesn’t? I’m unsure why this is? And why the foods I’m eating all of a sudden are under my target? Has anyone else had this?
