so I went in for my 37 week check up today and when I brought up that I was getting light headed and seeing spots and had headaches a few times the last couple days, she said that Ive had some sugar in my urine the last couple appointments then realized we had never tested me for GD so she booked me in to get tested tomorrow.
Im just not sure what testing this late in my pregnancy is going to do?
So ... if I have it I have to change my eating habits for a few weeks? will I be monitored more then once a week? My first son was 9lbs 12oz born at 41 weeks
I just dont see what the benefit of being tested this late will do if, besides having another big baby, there are no risks to me or baby?
