Avatar f tn s diet controlled I have to go once a week for a non stress test. They put a monitor on my belly and check to see if baby is moving and the heart rate is good. Healthy fats help block sugar absorption also.

Avatar n tn Hello All, I had my 30 week office visit today. Everything looked real good and the doctor is really pleased with how the pregnancy is progressing. She did state that she wants me to have a non-stress test for the baby in two weeks and then again 2 weeks after that. She said it's just a precaution b/c of my age (39) and my history of m/c's (3 of them). Has anybody else had the non-stress tests done??
Avatar n tn Had anyone had a bad non stress test. I got news today that my baby girl is not moving like she should. Her heart rate us low and the Dr said I need to keep and eye on her movements. Said if they don't pick up I have to call them and see what they want to do. I'm scared for my baby girl now I want her to be happy and healthy.
Avatar f tn I had GD and the specialist monitored my baby's progression on a weekly basis by giving me non stress tests and getting (estimated) measurements of the baby via the ultrasound. I was supposed to have a vaginal birth but baby boy decided to use his cord as a jump rope, lol. I ended up with a c-section which sounded like the best thing ever once the contractions started going in on me in full force, lol.
9842459 tn?1411688168 They haven't done a stress test on me at all. Are your sugars always high with diet and walking? I know stress will shoot your sugars up.
Avatar f tn I try to manage my well and Dr will be doing ultra sound weekly plus non stress test .. but I still have some high numbers not super high but alil higher then they should be .. so more then likely some kind of induction may need done?
Avatar n tn I have gestational diabetes for my second pregnancy. I am 37 weeks now. I was not able to control my sugar with my diet, until I started drinking apple cider vinegar with mother. I drink it throughout the day and I have been able to keep my sugar below 95 for fasting and below 110 2 hours after meals. I was prescribed medication for it, but read that it could affect the baby... So now I am doing it naturally, and very relieved.
Avatar f tn Sugars that remain uncontrolled over a period of time pose some risks to the baby (large size, insulin problems at birth and very rarely still birth-but that will NOT happen if you are following orders) Most likely your doctor will order non stress test 2xs a week where they monitor baby's heart rate and movement. You will also get more ultrasounds to monitor baby's size and possibly have an earlier delivery date. I was hysterical when I was diagnosef .
Avatar f tn m going to have to check my blood 4 times a day. At 34 weeks I have to see my doctor 2 times a week while they do a non stress test on the baby. I didn't bomb my 3 hour test. 2 of my draws were low and 2 were slightly elevated.

Avatar f tn I have a stress test tomorrow. Has anyone had one before?? What should I expect??
Avatar n tn Anybody have any experience with this? My test came back high and I'm going for the follow up test tomorrow. Very nervous.
Avatar f tn I went for my first doctor appointment and they took blood and had me drink a super sugary drink and wait their for an hour to test for diabetes. They called me yesterday and said the test was high and they want me to come take a three hour one to see if I have diabetes. They also said I can't eat after ten the night before I go. Could I have diabetes because I'm pregnant? If so will it go away? I'm over weight, Im barely 5'1 and I weigh 180.
Avatar f tn The test is a way for them to screen you for gestational diabetes. It's an important test for you and your little one. Eat a light non sugary breakfast before you go. Make sure the drink they give you is cold. Beat of luck.
Avatar f tn has anyone had gestacional diabetes and already had a non stress test? do they then tell u ur induce date or what? because my obgy tld me that someone with GD cant go past 41 weeks due to the risks of baby growing too big is this true?
Avatar f tn I have just been told at 36 weeks that I have gestational diabetes. My midwife missed my family history in my notes so didn't test me for this at 28 weeks like she should have. I am really worried about what effect this may have had on my baby as it has been unmonitored for nearly 10 weeks!
Avatar f tn Im 29 weeks. The last glucose test i had was 165. Going back for a second test in a few days. Anyone going through Gestational Diabetes?
8894496 tn?1400933529 Yeah it's called a non stress test. They'll monitor fetal movement over an hour time period.
Avatar f tn My obgyn office says I have gestational diabetes, even though my blood sugars (tested for a week because I refused the glucose test) are within range of non-diabetic pregnant women according to the American Diabetes Association. I don't shoot up and down either, my sugars are fairly steady. Has this happened to anyone else and what did you do?
Avatar f tn It could also put extra stress on the baby and he/she will be checked for diabetes when born.
