Gestational diabetes?

Question

Im currently 33 weeks pregnant. At my 26 week check up, I was tested for the gestational diabetes. My test came back normal. Today at my check up I had an ultrasound done because I havent felt the baby move a lot and i was just kinda concern. On the ultrasound it showed there is extra amount of fluid around the baby. To be consider to have gestional diabetes the level is 25, and my level is 24.74. Has anyone ever had this happen to them??

Answer

Hi,
Yes this happened to me at 28 weeks my baby was measuring 2 weeks ahead when my ob checked my fundamental height then I had an ultrasound baby's fluids are 26, and baby was a 1 week 4 days ahead weighing 3lbs 4oz. At that time. My high risk dr. Came in saying wow this isn't something we have seen in you before gestational diabetes asked if I had my blood work we  were waiting on them. Baby being big and extra fluid she automatically assumed i had GD. Said don't worry you aren't the 1st and won't be the last. I don't have GD passed with flying  colors. My Ob said she isn't worried and he is just a big baby. Our fluids fluctuate anyways. It's heavy and uncomfortable. They should monitor it to make sure there isn't way to much! Try not to worry🤗

Answer

Wow 16wks seems early to be tested for GD. In Ontario I was told our testing takes place between 24-26wks I believe and I did mine at 25wks. 
I would ask your doctor for sure
