Sugar in urine tests but two negative diabetes tests?

Anyone else have sugar in their urine test but not have GD? I redid the GD test last week and results came back normal again but had sugar again at my midwife appt yesterday. The midwife told me it's not to do with what I've eaten recently but then I'm confused. We have been doing house renovations so I've eaten more rubbish than normal so I put it down to that but she disagrees. Anyone have any advice?

I had traces of sugar in my urine earlier and told them I had been drinking more fresh juice etc and they said it could be due to that drink being high in sugar. Not sure if that helps😂

Have you been testing your own sugar levels too with the finger pricks?

no they haven't advised me to do that yet, but I did order a bunch of the urine strips from Amazon and I noticed that just after I've had dinner it'll show sugar then after a few hours it won't show any...so I don't know how she can say it isn't to do with what I'm eating atm, she said food and drink have nothing to do with it. I think next time I'll just fast beforehand or something if it's in the morning and see if it still comes as sugary 🤔

that makes sense! My friend is a midwife and she said even if you've had loads of chocolate or something the night before it can affect the urine test so I'm confused

Might be worth ordering a blood sugar testing kit from amazon. That's what I did because I had GD in previous pregnancy and my GTT has been normal this time so I've been keeping an eye on my fasting levels and also my 2 hr post meal levels. That will give you more info x

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

Sneak Peek Test

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?
