I didn’t have a family history and didn’t hit any of the usual risk criteria but I was diagnosed early with GD. I would ask again maybe?
At my first midwife appointment when they took my bloods they detected it then but i wasn’t informed till i was 13 weeks
Thank you everyone! Katie - can I ask how you ended up being diagnosed?
@Jamie I’m currently living abroad and the process here is to test fasting blood sugar at your initial blood test appointment around 7/8 weeks so it got picked up on that. I didn’t have any symptoms at all, so it can definitely appear even if there’s no risk factors. Not at all saying that’s definitely what your symptoms mean but I think always worth a second opinion if you’re worried about something! No harm in asking again!
I had it in my last pregnancy and I was diagnosed at 5 weeks with this one!! Feel free to message any questions- I’m a veteran! 😂
