My midwifes seem obsessed with GD testing. Despite me not having any sugar in any urine samples, I'm not overweight myself, no other risk factors. I have been measuring big, but they sent me for a growth scan and all was average, including waters which midwife said I had too much of because she couldn't feel the baby and hard to find a clear heartbeat ( was able to find it, just faint) . Seems baby was transverse at scan, so probably was that. I measured big on my last pregnancy and no GD testing or scans given.
I went in for another GD test at 34 weeks ( test number 3) recently ( again negative) but there were 8 others being tested. I know you can't tell by looking at people, but no one looked overweight. Is there a campaign or is it becoming a more common they want to catch?
