the title says it all really, I am to be tested at 40 weeks (wed) for gestational diabetes. My baby has been measuring bigger since week 34 and there has been no mention of this before. I have not put on excessive weight myself (around 10lbs).
At last weeks consultants appointment I was given a membrane sweep in the hope of starting things off, needless to say it didnt work.
I am being tested on Wed and then back to the consultant on Thursday to discuss more induction options. This is my first baby and am becoming more wound up as the days go on. Im reluctant to google for info on undiagnosed GD and its implications/complications incase it adds to the stress!
Im wondering if I test positive what changes or differences it will make?
