I am 20 weeks and havent done it yet. When are you supposed to?

My DR let me know when she wanted me to do it. I had to do it at 16 weeks. And I need to do it again at 23. Maybe ask your DR when to schedule.

I did it at 12 weeks,due to both parents being diabetic and me being overweight.

I will be 20 weeks on Saturday and my Doctor hasnt mentioned anything to me yet. I figured when I see them on Wednesday they will probably bring it up. When they do they do. Im really not in any sort of a rush to go sit in the lab for an hour of my day!

ditto @pickles26‌.

With DS1, I did it at 28w. Not sure when it'll be with this pregnancy.

Only your OB can answer this as it varies from OB to OB. You should give your OB a call and inquire as to when they would like you to do it. My OB is scheduling mine at 26 weeks.

Do you have a history of diabetes in your family or with a prior pregnancy? If yes, ask your doctor. I had GD with a prior pregnancy so I was tested at 8 weeks. Because I passed, I then will be retested at normal time which is between 24-30 weeks. I want to say my doctor said 28 weeks because I specifically asked them.

If no, wait since you are still fairly early. My doctor only brings up testing items or items of importance the appointment prior to when I need things done. Let's face it, if your OB told you everything on day 1 you wouldn't remember any of it by the time it comes.

This also may be a good item to search since many of the April/May girls are probably having their test done so you can get a general idea of when it is done for a normal/no history person.

Okay im doing great this pregnancy with no worries so im not stressing about it. Just curious as to when everyone else was doing it!

I just did it and I'm at 17 weeks. But I had GD first time around.

I'm considered high risk so I had a two hour one at around 11 weeks and my OB just told me I'll be doing the 1 hr one at my next appt in a couple of weeks. I'll be almost 23 weeks by then. Hopefully that's the last one! Yuck! Lol

If you have family history or dietary concerns - an OB may request one earlier. On average, most OB's perform your glucose test (first one is only 1 hr) between 24-28 weeks. My OB requests at 26 weeks but to each their own. Bring it up at your monthly OB visit when you are seen next.
