Thanks Belfie, Artechim and Jewel for letting me know about your experiences. I wanted to know because my Obstetrician has been pushing a little for a caesarian, and I'm resisting. I want to have a VB if its possible. Also, I had a really big chat with a friend of mine who also had GD through her pregnancy, and works as a teacher. She basically lessed some of my anxieties. I'm going to try for 35 weeks, but I agree that the food and particularly the blood tests are a PITA. Especially when I have sticky beak year 11 students coming to have a look what I was doing (I had to do the test in class and thought I was well hidden) and then hold a discussion about what I was doing.

My Endo and Dietician can't seem to manage to be on time, so I have basically given up working on Fridays - which is the only day that they are available. This is helping a little, although having to wait around for almost 2 hours is frustrating. Even the receptionists were having a giggle about how long it took. And of course they completely stuffed my timing with food and I got a high reading

One of the benefits of this is that my husband is a type 2 diabetic. He's obviously been a little lazy with the food he's been eating, because now he is forced to eat what I do his readings have been so much better

The other good thing is that I had an ultrasound this week and Squishy (bubs) is in the 50th percentile. The Obstetrican was really happy with the results. He's not sending me again until week 36.

I've been put on insulin overnight as my fasting readings would not go down. Had the first lot last night and felt very weird this morning until about lunch time. I hope this feeling is only a once off.

Ajmum - glad your readings came down, I hope this continues.

belfie - no idea about testing. I just know that my Obstetrician wanted it early due to my PCOS and family history.
