Glucose Tolerance Test

[ThisTimePls]

I am a little scared now as I have to go back to the hospital for a Glucose Tolerance Test on Tuesday as the baby is big and I have lots of fluid around it. Bit scared now.

Hopefully it will be ok. Does anyone else have Pregnancy Diabetes - no-one in my family has ever had diabetes - I am fairly slim and did a lot of excercise before the pregnancy.

Oh well better to be safe and checked!!

Hi Hun,
You are in a very similar situation to me. I went in yesterday due to reduced movement - baby is fine but my fundal height is 43!!!!! Also baby feels huge and I have very low fluid so its all baby! They sent me for a GTT today and I get the result tomorrow. Have a growth scan on Wed too to confirm babies size. Dont panic - its easily controlled and once baby is here will have very little impact on either of you and usually goes away. Just wanted to send hugs xx

I been told i got gd. Im on diet control, which has just started, its not that bad either to be honest, there is a lot of food you can eat which i found suprising. Try not to worry about it, easier said i know, but it will be ok, it does go after the baby is born. Just means they will keep a closer eye on you and the baby, more scans too which is the good part.

aww hun ive also gota go in for a 2nd GTT test on tues, i had my first one on mon and my results came back high so ive gota be retested, it worrys me because i am quite big for 29 weeks and i worry that its because the baby is so large and it might be becuase of the gd, but hopefully its not and the baby is normal sized

big hugs tho hun xxxx
