Wednesday 4th December – 28w Hello 3rd trimester! I also had to starve from 10pm tonight, for my GTT tomorrow. I hate this bit… Thurs 5th December – 28w 1d GTT day. I knew the drill as I also had one done with little man. My appointment was at 9am, though I had to get the bus and along with strong winds, a 10 minute walk, and being 28 weeks pregnant, I arrived a couple of minutes late but they weren’t too busy at that time so it was okay.
