I have a routine appointment with my midwife tomorrow anyway so I’ll bring it up. Crazy tirdiness was my first symptom. I never got morning sickness but I still suffered, just in different ways; like the low energy. The whole “you’ll get your energy back in second tri” never happened to me but I feel like inna twin pregnancy we kind of skip second tri? lol. I had maybe a small time in second tri where I had a bout on energy then I went back to tiredness again. and since maybe like week 28 I feel like I’ve been hit by a brick wall. Last night I slept for more than 12 hours from like 10pm and then I got up at 11am, I’m not being lazy, it’s just my body feels weak!. and since I got up this morning I’ve had no energy, I get out of breath just by walking up the stairs, or doing the dishes, or just walking down the road and if I sit down for more than 5 minutes I find myself falling asleep. I can’t concentrate on conversations my mind wonders of like a brain fog, cuz it’s just too tied to pay attention for too long. I feel really dazed , like you know when your so tired you feel your in a fog or a dream? I’m like that today, what’s going on? I’m not lacking food or vitiams , I’ve had all those checks, is this normal ? or could there be an issue?

I am so annoyed, I’m pregnant with twins 29 weeks I fastened and I found it so hard I was STARVING in the night, shaking and sweaty because I was so hungry, I just struggle to go a hot minute without food with the twins and it’s 2 placentas so they literally take everything from me but yet I powered through because I knew the test was important. I was sent to a nurse who I had never met before, she sits me down , takes my first blood test and gives me the drink, I drink it all and then she says “sorry your 5 minutes were up so you can’t continue the test” like girl I just finished the whole drink but she said after 5-10 the results will be not accurate , so she grabs the diabetes midwife and now I have to prick my finger 6 times a day for 5 days and on day 5 judging by my results she will give me a diagnosis. I knew there was a time limit but 5 minutes max ?????? I actually cried no joke. And after that I said can I speak to my midwife like my registered one and I did and I felt so defeated and what’s worse is that it’s not like I threw up the drink, I had the whole 300ml, and all for nothing
Sorry meant to say “I had the glucose drink and was sent home”
But for anyone wondering - the drink is fine; and I thought it tasted delicious lol and it wasn’t even as sweet as I thought it would be. It tasted exactly like an orange capri sun. The drink actually made me feel better from having to fasten and sugars going a bit low, it gave me a perk. Didn’t feel sick, kept it down and forget about it by the time I left the hospital, didn’t get a hungover affect from the drink either
