I had GD with my last baby (born 9 weeks ago), I found out at 26 weeks and I was only slightly over the allowed BSL for my hospital. I needed to attend GD clinic fortnightly, do BSL 2 hours after each major meal and keep a log of BSL and food diary.

I wasn't told any big risks are fair as labour/birth went other then she would be monitored closely for 48 hours, heel pr!ck blood sugars every 3-4 hours in the first 12-24 hours, they may push for formula top ups (which they didn't ).

I had 2 extra scans, one at 28 weeks and another at 34 weeks
