My doc checked me when I was 20 some weeks. I dont remember exactly when but its good stuff..The drink that is..I want some lol. Just tell ur doc how ur feelin maybe he/she will test u earlier

I looked up in my book what some of the symptoms are...Excesseive hunger and thirst, frequent urination, recurent vaginal monilial infections, and an increase in blood pressure....And they usually test between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy... I got mine done last week, I was 27 weeks.

Well, all those are symptoms of pregnancy or increase with pregnancy anyway!

I just feel really really crappy everytime I have any sugar of any kind, and I feel crappy if I don't eat right at the right time every day.

My aunt has diabetes, just tell ur doc and maybe she'll check u sooner than between those times that they normally check it. U could have it my aunt has to eat at certain times and if she doesnt or misses it she feels realy sick. Id just ask thats all ya can do. Hope ya find out whats goin on.

They thought I had it but I dont luckily I dont. He said I am border line so not to go overboard on eating alot of sugar. Anyhow, those are the symptoms. They tested me at 28 weeks which is most common when they do the glucose tolerance test (when u drink the orange stuff) how many weeks r u?

I'm 14 now, next appt next wed at 15 weeks. Too early?

Since your going then they will probably check baby for the spina bifida, down syndrome, and the other thing I can not remember. They do that between 16-18 weeks but they did me at 15 cause that was when I was there, lol. All they do is take your blood and send it off. Since they are doing that anyways they probably will go ahead and check for gestational diabetes you go in. Try not to eat or drink any sugar cause when you go in you got to drink the orange stuff which is like pure sugar and it will make your sugar go up and then you will have to do the 3 hour test which they take your blood 4 times in 3 hours!!!! Usually they tell you to fast. Try your best hun. If I were you I would call and see when they are gonna do the test for the baby and ask them if they could also check you for the gest diab. They thought I had it but told me I did not have to fast, so big fat dummy me thought okay I will have a pepsi to wake me up some. Hahaha I only made myself suffer by having to have needle work done again!!! Good luck and let us know.
Lots of love,
