    Haha well she actually said a carb diet was good! Potatoes, pasta, breads! So you're doin' it right according to my midwife I don't think I'll be keeping many of the changes, except less sugar. Less sugar is always good

    i think the prime testing time is 24-28 weeks.

    i think that a low GI diet is a good one to follow most of the time, so any time would be good to get onto that i was never told to eat a certain way before the test

    I had GD with the boys but not my DD... and she is middle child.. nothing you can do or change it.. I remember when i first found out i was devastated... To later find out its common and not a HUGE deal.. Lots of help, education etc.. so dont stress.

    Good luck

    With DS1 I had it at 27+6 weeks, the stupid Dr put me down for the 3hr test grr. I didn't have to go on any special diets or anything. With DS2 I just did the challenge test and it was done about 28 weeks too.

    Good luck x
