    Wow - I didnt realise the cost of the test strips. Maybe I should ask to do the drink test earlier and take it from there.

    I can also cut down on the sugar.....
    This is what I did, although I didn't really choose, it was the recommendation of my care providers. (DM in the family and a previous 4kg baby.) I did it once at 19 weeks and again at 29 ish. Long test both times.

    I had a feeling that you were supposed to get tested at the 26-28 mark (is that right? Baby brain is striking...) because that was the general time it would be most evident. Is that right?

    I vaguely remember being told by my doctor that if you get checked earlier it may not show up anything with the drink test?
