I have seen so many posts of how to pass the glucose test, what to eat.... complaining about having to do another test, even one post of a mother refusing to go for the second test because she’s trusting her instincts that she’s fine.

Ladies!!! This test is there for a reason. It’s a good thing!! I have a friend with lifelong diabetes now because it was missed in her pregnancy. Her baby has a ton of medical problems.

GB can be dangerous to your baby. Surely you want what’s best for your child?

What GB can mean for your baby if not caught or left untreated:

When posting to brag about passing the test bear in mind the feelings of the mothers who do have GB through no fault of their own.

This is not a test you study for and pass because you’re so much better. It’s a medical test that’s important and some mothers really struggle with it.

Have some compassion and be informed. It could be you
