had my glucose and i have a question?
This first question is not really realted to the glucose but i am 26 weeks and gained 20lbs although i think its more like 18 because we we went out to eat last night late and i dint finish eating til 11:30 and my test was at 9:30 but anyway even if it is 20 my dr, who i just found out is also preggo, said its not terrible she has certainly seen ALOT worse but if i do a lb a week for teh next 14 weeks i will gain 34lbs now one of teh other drs in teh practice told me i should stay with in 35lbs so 34 lbs is cutting it close but she said to stay more towards 30 b/c i am not a big person to begin with . What do you think?
On to my glucose question, are there any dsigns of gestational diabetes? I knwo i get thresults tueday but i am curious can i look for any signs on my own? TIA

Re: had my glucose and i have a question?
Some dr's are more strict with the weight thing than others. I gained 45 lbs and my dr never said a peep to me about it, and I didn't have GD. I didn't eat bad either, my body just likes to keep and hold on to fat!
Symptoms of GD are rapid weight gain, increased thirst. 18lbs right now is not bad for you since are only 26 weeks.
At 26 weeks I was already close to 30lbs gain.
Try not to stress about it and enjoy the rest of your pg. Time is wasted stressing about your weight, You will have plenty of time to do that later. Gotta feed/nourish/grow that baby!

Don't stress the weight gain or glucose test. Weight gain can fluctuate. Mine started fast, slowed done, had spurts and towards the end I didn't gain at all. I had GD and had absolutely no signs. I did have m/s throughout my pregnancy on and off which they said could have been a sign but who knows. I would up about 33lbs or so.
Some signs are extreme fatigue and uncontrollable thrist. I didn't have either.

Re: had my glucose and i have a question?
I am 28 weeks now and have gained 20 lbs so you are right on track with me. My doc did make a comment this visit because I am so small (5' - 106 lbs) I should start to watch my weight gain. In the pregnancy week by week book it says I'm right on track so I'm not stressing over it.
I also failed my 1 hour GD and went for the 3 hour so I'm curious if I do have it. Keep us posted on your results and good luck.

With my first I had probably gained 30 pounds by my 26th week or so. No gestational diabetes, I had the opposite- hypoglycemia. My son was born and he was 9 lbs 5 ozs. I was 130 lbs before getting pregnant and 5' 4" so he was a big baby for me. My second pregnancy now, I am a lot heavier to begin with about 155 (sz 8). I am in my 29/30th week and no weight gain. And have again pregnancy related hypoglycemia. I think weight gain has nothing to do with having gestational diabetes and more of a family history and how your body handles sugar.
