BIG baby

[festivette]

I'm 33 weeks, and today they measured my little one at weighing 5lbs 12oz. I was tested for GD at 28 weeks, and I came back fine. They are re-testing me this week to see if I've developed it since then. Has this happened to any of you ladies? Is there any other options  besides drinking the glucose again? It made me so so sick last time.

I passed the tests then at 35 weeks baby weighed 7.6 so I did fingersticks for a week and sugar was slightly high so they put me on a pill. I am 37 weeks
Now and baby will be induced at 39 weeks

My son measured two weeks ahead. They tested me again for GD, didn't have it. But, he did arrive four weeks early, was perfectly healthy at 6 lbs 3 oz. :)

My son measured 4 weeks ahead from 24 weeks to birth. I didnt have GD or symptoms either. My stomach cannot tolerate the glucose drink. I throw it up and pass out :/ I refused to do another so my doctor ordered a blood test called "Hemoglobin A1C. You could ask about doing that instead. Good luck.

There's a 3 day high carb test where you eat healthy but have extra servings of carbs (e.g. a meal could be wholemeal pancakes and yoghurt and fruit for breakfast or brown rice stirfry with a glass of orange juice for dinner - they give you guidelines)... It's meant to be far more accurate than the glucose test and not as much of an assault on your system. Many hospitals here (Australia) do this as their routine test, but lots still use the old system. When I asked my doctor about it he had NO idea what I was talking about... So not sure if your hospital/doctor will do it or not...
