sugar in my urine

[Hemera]

Hi all,

Had my 25 week midwife app yesterday and they found sugar in my wee. I told them that I had drunk some apple juice just before 'producing' the sample and they seemed happy that it was probably that which was affecting it, but i'm freaking out a bit now.

My cravings have all been for sweet things, which is strange as i've never had a sweet tooth before, and I'm overanalysing how thristy I am. I drink 2 lts of water a day without struggling and still wake up thirsty in the night. I know its probably just due to the heat but still worried it could be something worse.

They are testing me again at my next app in 3 weeks to see if it is still there. but how serious is it if sugar does remain in my urine? Too scared to google it as it will probably tell me i'm going to die or something ridiculous!

they will ref you to a consultant to discuss things with you if they feel it is an issue as my mate has the exact same thing and she just has to see the consultant each week to keep an eye on the levels.

you wi naturally get alot more thirsty in pregnancy as baby takes it all x

Try not to worry too much just now, but maybe reduce your sugar intake and see if it makes a difference. It can lead to gestational diabetes, which they test for with your bloods at 28 weeks anyway. My sisters SIL has been drinking masses of full fat coke and has just found out she's got it (she's a skinny thing as well!) it means more scans to make sure baby don't get too big and hinder a vaginal delivery
