Anyone mind me asking why you're having the tests? What was it about you that made the midwife think you needed a test?

I have mine on Tuesday. The test is done based on risk, ie if you are overweight or if there is any history of diabetes in your family. In my case both of these apply.

I'm now cacking it, because I've been really really thirsty the last few days, and I googled 'thirst in pregnancy' and found out it's a symptom of GD.

I've had two GTT test during my pregnancy (high BMI), they were no problem and both were negative...I did hold off on eating sweeties before though

I am wondering whether I have GD now....I made another post about it, so I wont bore you here.
