I was diagnosed at 37+4 with my first by a scan showing baby having bigger measuring belly & glucose etc so was just induced there & then as he was measuring 8lb 8oz already. With my 2nd who’s due in September, I started testing at 10 weeks which confirmed GDM and scheduled to be induced at 37 weeks xx
Yep. I was diagnosed at 37 weeks and I had to do finger prick tests after each meal. I wanted to go as long as I could but I couldn't avoid induction - was induced at 40+5 (2 days ago) and still waiting to meet the baby!!
I was diagnosed at around 35 weeks and put straight on insulin, being induced today at 38+3 🥹
@Jodie Awh all the best! 🥰 I’m yet to hear back but they have sent me a text with a link on how to do the prick test so I’m assuming they’re wanting me to do the same!
@Hafsa All the best for today!! 🥰
Thanks everyone! They’ve sent me a text on how to do the prick test for glucose so I’m assuming I’ll have to do this! 😌 best cut down on the chocolate 🤪
@Kerri good luck! Portion sizes at dinner was the thing I found hardest to control - once you get that all under control it's fine 😊
@Jodie you know what, I never finish a meal! I honestly thing it’s because I’ve ate so much chocolate and sweets over the past few days 😂 just can’t help myself ahah
I was diagnosed at 36weeks and was put on insulin and induced at 38 weeks bang on xx
