Yes. Think it depends how far along you are when you get diagnosed but I’m one at 32 and 36 weeks

Thank you

I believe if you’re diagnosed early enough you may even have one at 28 weeks (unsure but I have from 28 weeks due to bmi)

@Naomi how strict did you have to be with your diet?

I was diagnosed early and at times it does feel that I live in the hospital, depending with the growth scans you will have more scans than low risk pregnancy. I have had between 2/3 three weeks scans In between. You really have to be strict and implement walking after eating, my GD was initially diet controlled and wasn’t about diet rather it was the fasting readings so they put me on metformin and increased it. Now at 32 weeks I am now on insulin. I don’t know if I will make it to full term if it continues to be red. Hope that helps

Thank you for this information. My fasting rate when my bloods were taken was 4.7 and my rate after the glucose drink was 7.8
