Glucose test

[Kittyy]

When I was 12 weeks I got told if my BMI was 30+ I had to go for a glucose test for diabetes. My BMI is 30.1 and I'm still being sent for these tests has anybody else had to have this fine during pregnancy? What happens? I'm worried a little

Hi, not to worry my BMI was is only 20.1 and I still had to have the test at 28 weeks because of previous large baby (9lbs 14oz) it's just a blood test and then a real syrupy sweet glucose drink you have to drink and then you return for another blood test about 2 hours later. They phone with your results a couple of days later. Mine were all fine, but if you get Gestational Diabetes during pregnancy it can be managed through diet anyway so I wouldn't worry too much, hope that helps!
