We have switched the forum back on - but we are still in testing phase, so please be patient with us. The forum may be slow initially but should speed up soon. If you spot any technical errors, post them in the technical issues section towards the bottom of the forum. We'll be working hard to get everything working perfectly as soon as we can.

Default Is everyone having a gestational diabetes test?
I'm due to have my glucose test for gestational diabates next weekend, and was just wondering whether everyone else was doing this too?

You know what, to be honest... My doctor hasn't even mentioned it yet.... I'm going back to see my GP on the 28th of April, just before I'm 24 weeks so I guess I'll ask about it then........

Im booked in for it in two weeks. I think i had sugar in my last urine test at last antenatal appt, otherwise i probably wouldnt worry about having it.

Yep I am having one at around 28 weeks - along with another jab in the butt (anti-d shot).

I think its done between 24-28 weeks, and from what I understand its not that bad. You don't have to fast, you just go along and drink a small amount of sweet liquid, wait for an hour and then do a blood test. But if you fail that test, you have to do a further test which is a bit more unpleasant I think.
