Signs of gestational diabetes

[littledemonme]

Just back from a private feotal growth scan at 26+2.
Little one has average head, long legs (Daddy is 6'3") but a very fat tummy - coming out at top end of normal parameters.
Is this a sign of gestational diabetes? I asked the sonographer and she said it would be good to be checked but my test isn't for 2 weeks. Should I be concerned? Call my midwife??
Thanks for your help.

Signs can be thirst, tiredness etc but they can be normal pg symptoms too. If you're worried try to reduce your sugar/carb intake until you've been tested xx
