I went into labour 5am on Monday morning, contractions 6 mins apart and lasting about a minute each, headed to hospital around 9.15am when they were about 4-5 minutes apart and stronger pain and gave birth 4:22pm. I was very happy with how things went. I had an epi which unfortunately was not 100% effective as I still had pains but otherwise couldn’t have asked for better birth.
Chloe spent the first night in nursery as her 2nd sugar level was low. All good now though and she is feeding well.
We came home today as I stayed an extra night and she sleeps a good 4-5 hours at a time between feeds since milk arrived.
Have done a few random BSL's which have been under 7.0 (One of them I tested 1 hr after cake and was 6.2) but because my diet is essentially not much different to the one I had during PG not sure how I can really test to see if the GD is gone. This is now my worry so trying not to stress so early on as it's another 6-12 weeks before my GTT. Has anyone who has delivered already found a way to give their levels a real "test" to see if GD is gone??
