When is the glucose test?

Blackvelvet

I have been seeing lots of posts about failing/passing the glucose test but it seems my doctor doesn't even do them.  I will be 29 weeks at my next apointment and unless the test is very fast they are not planning on it as I have the last appointment of the day.  Anyone else not have one or have it late?

I thought it was around your mid 20 weeks. I had to have an early one this time around because my son was an enormo baby and I have to have the regular one as well and mine is at 26 weeks.

Some doctors/ midwives don't perform them because they're known for giving false positives. They weren't even developed for pregnant woman but for woman who are menapausal and there's a lot of controversy surrounding whether they should be performed at all because they're fairly innacurate. If you're not in a high risk group, it might just be that they've decided not to give you the test.

Thank you.  I'm not really in a high risk group other then being a little over weight.  I would have ask on the 2nd tri board but they are like HS today.

Yeah, there's a lot going on over there!
