Diabetes
Hello everyone am 12 weeks and they called me from a specialist office making me appts and i asked the lady why and she like u have diabetes ??? So now am scared and dont want to eat anything cuz i dont know if it will harm my baby.... But what am really upset if that my ob dident call and told me the news???? Has anyone been threw this???
I was going to say the same thing, I wonder if they got you.mixed up :/ which could be terrible for the other person!!
I would call and complain. Sounds like someone screwed up your labs.
That happened to me my last pregnancy and I was told my.baby would have cystic fibrosis. I demanded another test because that gene didn't run in my family. Big shocker.... The lab screwed up and my baby was at absolutely no risk.

Never in my life i been diabetic this is my 5th pregnancy and they all been normal and vaginal??? Thats y am confused
The gestational diabetes test is a one hour test, if you fail that, then you take a three hour test. If you fail that also, then you're diagnosed with GD.... So I'm guessing you didn't take this test as it is lengthy and it's not just taking blood.
I'm still confused as to why they would think you have diabetes as the A1C is not a standard prenatal test.... Even if they would test you they would probably only do so if your family history for diabetes is incredibly strong.

Are you regularly a diabetic? Maybe that's what they mean? I would call back and ask some questions.
Well they did lots of blood work and i have my 1st prenatal appt till thursday and would have expected my ob to call me or see me sooner?? With this news and i been investigating it and yea it says usually between 24 - 28 weeks and i went to the er last week and nothing abnormal there???
I'm unsure why they would think this as it's uncommon to do a gestational diabetes test until at least 25 weeks, and highly unusual to check your A1C, which shows your risk for regular diabetes......
Just sounds weird.... I'd call your ob and demand an explanation.
