[QUOTE="RaeDawn, post: 1102915, member: 282753"] Hiya- am having a bit of a panic... Out the blue I got diagnosed with GD- I have no risk factors, am a healthy eater and am quite petite, they only caught it as I had an extra scan to check baby for an inheritable condition at 28 weeks and I had polyhydraminos (too much amniotic fluid) which in 20% of cases can be caused by GD. I've been eating very sensibly and checking bloods for 2 weeks now and not on medication. All my readings are good and below threshold values but I feel like I'm losing weight on arms and legs- while bump gets bigger and bigger! So sick of people saying how huge bump is, it just reminds me my body can't look after the baby properly and is making too much fluid. Has anyone else had fluids go down one they get the glucose under control- have a scan the day after tomorrow and am so worried that I'll have done everything right and the fluid will be worse as it just looks so bad. If anyone has experience of this Id welcome some input - I lost a pregancy in 2nd tri last year and it broke my heart and has made me double panic about everything this time round so this was a real blow. Thanks ladies! Rae x [/QUOTE]
