I think they go by BMI, there is a certain cut off point, I think it is 30 but not sure

I've had my appointment book since the middle of Tri1. I would have thought that they would have mentioned it to you by now. Mention it to the MW at your 16 week check if you are unsure.

my bmi is 40 and my dad has insulin dependant diabetes so im getting the test later on

 

[Samsgirl]

last pregnancy it was mentioned and i had to have a fast and sugars blood test done in tri 1, but this time i was put as no risk and just had normal bloods done....my bmi is 33. mw just said to keep going as i have been cos i had lost weight since last pregnancy. she said just to not eat too many sweets etc.....

will see whet she says at 16 week check xx

I'm fairly overweight and have high BMI, that's why I needed it.
*sigh* Just waiting for the results now, should be about a week.

Was it lucozade or some syrupy stuff they made you drink? How did you feel? Did you remember to take a sandwich?

My friend has hers tomorrow so I'm sure I will hear all about it from her. x

 

[Bexybun]

I had lucozade, and I did take a banana with me

I'm ok, just want to know now. I just felt a bit sicky and dizzy at the time, but lying and reading magazines for two hours was really quite relaxing!

 

[Zoeox]

So my friend had hers and she said it was okay and they took lots of blood. Said she got very very bored. She now has Diabetes so guessing it GD, and also found out her baby is 4weekks ahead where growth is concerned, don't know if thats from the GD, she is now going for scans each week to check this, thought i'd give you an update on her x

 

[Bexybun]

Oh Zoe, give her our regards from PF, yeah?

I got the results today, luckily don't have it, phew!

 

[Zoeox]

I shall do Bexy, Ahh lucky you
I was chatting to my mom about this yesterday and saying I think I'll be high risk of getting it anyhow. I'm bound to get Diabetes in my life at some point and now just seems the most appropiate time to get it. x
