I went to the MAU last night due to lack of movement from baby (I'm 33+4 today). Baby is fine.
However, they picked up glucose in my urine, did a finger prick test, and it read 7.6.
I hadn't eaten since before 7.30pm, finger prick was done around 10pm, maybe a little later. I had drunk a small amount of Coke, maybe 6 mouthfuls between 8.30pm and 9.30pm.
They had me drink a jug of water, and then pee again, and still glucose showing. Another urine sample at around 11.15pm, and still some glucose.
They wanted me to wait to speak to the doctor, but I discharged myself as he was in A+E and was likely to be quite some time, and I can go and see my own GP Monday. (I left because I only had 3hours sleep Thursday night, suffer from migraines, and had been driving for 4+ hours prior to heading to MAU, and there was no immediate threat to baby or myself, and I can see my GP Monday).
Is 7.6 particularly high? I had a GTT at 28weeks and it came back fine
I am only concerned because the GTT didn't show anything, and I've not really changed my eating/drinking habits since.
Has anyone else been in this situation?
