Gestational Diabetes appts

Who here has had Gestational Diabetes? When I had it, I had to see my OB every week to get an ultrasound and nst testing i believe to make sure everything was good.

Is that what you had to do as well? Was get extra ultrasounds and testing? I have a friend that says she has it but she only received 2 extra ultrasounds and they are letting her go to full term. We have the same OB and when I got diagnosed, she told me I would absolutely not be able to go full term and would have to be induced. It just doesn’t make sense to me.
