[QUOTE="azure, post: 1102922, member: 39639"] [USER=282753]@RaeDawn[/USER] I had polyhydramnios in one of my pregnancies. It was spotted at a similar time to yours. I have Type 1. If your blood sugar levels are in range then you're doing everything you can to help :) The only advice I'd give is to test after meals (if you're not already) as that was the likely reason I got the extra fluid. I wasn't given good advice so was only testing before I ate. Sometimes you can go high after a meal butnthen come back down gradually, so if you only test pre-meal you'd miss the high. I tested 2 hrs after the start of my meal - eg eat lunch at 12.30pm, test at 2.30pm. One thing I would say though is do speak to,your consultant if you continue to lose weight off your arms. This isn't for a bad or scary reason - just so they can make sure that it is GD rather than another form of diabetes. Could the weight loss be bcause you've adjusted your diet maybe? I'm so sorry for,your previous loss. You're doing everything ok for this pregnancy and now this has been spotted, you'll be monitored carefully so although that might be worrying in one way, I hope it's also reassuring. Good luck with your scan :) [/QUOTE]
