Hi Ladies
This is my first pregnancy so Im a bit clueless all round, but since seeing the midwife yesterday its been playing on my mind that I may be developing gestational diabetes.
Prior to becoming pregnant I struggled with my weight. 9 mths before concieving I was diagnosed with PCOS and insulin resistance and prescribed metformin medication as treatment.
When I fell pregnant I had to stop my medication. I barely gained any weight until around 25 wks and developed a small bump.
At my 28 wk antenatal apt I was weighed and had gained weight and I had my FH measured and was told I was measuring normal, 5 days after that I had a 4d scan and was told the estimated baby weight was 3lbs at that point {29wk5d}
In the last 7 days or so I feel huge and bulky, over xmas I have indulged but not to the extreme but i feel very heavy and bloated 24-7, I feel like i need to detox lol.
Anyway yesterday I saw the midwife and they tested my urine which came back as +2 glucose, I had however consumed tons of orange juice the night before and it was assumed that that was the reason.
My FH was measured again and I was told it was normal however last night I looked at my chart and the FH measurement was plotted at the higher end of normal where as ten days before at the 4d scan it was mid range normal.
Its got me thinking:- all in all I estimate I 've gained about 14lbs in the last 5/6 wks {no gain prior to that}, I have the history of insulin probs due to my PCOS, had the added glucose in my urine and am concerned in the rapid growth of myself and baby {if all estimations are correct then my baby has gained what seems a lot of weight in just 10/12 days.
Im prob completely wrong but just wondered what others thought and what other signs i should perhaps look out for x
My next apt isnt until 19th Jan x
