To have the test or to not have the test?

Maybe thats what she does? I remember last pregnancy when my midwife came around for the home visits (the other midwife - they worked together as a team) and she tested my urine at every appointment - would this have been what she was testing for?

they might have been checking for protiens. I had to get mine checked every OB appt

I think they test for a few things, including sugars

I just know my UK midwife was really confused when I said I had been tested for GD with the glucose test in previous pregnancies, and said I must have tested positive or borderline in the basic test to be recommended the test. When I said it was standard for all women she was outraged and started listed the reasons why it was a bad idea (cost, unpleasantness of the test, inconvenience, false positive results, etc).
