My gynac mentioned this sugar test in passing but I forgot to ask kab karwana hai. I'm 22 weeks now. Just want to plan it, around which week does this usually happen?
This test is done around the 6th or 7th month, mostly between 24 and 28 weeks. It's a very standard test in municipal or private hospitals alike. Just carry a bottle of water and a book because you have to wait for an hour after drinking the glucose.
Yes, my doctor got my GCT done around the 26th week. It's really important to check for gestational diabetes early. Even though my delivery ended up being a C-section later on, keeping sugar in check during pregnancy made recovery so much smoother.
My mother-in-law was saying we didn't have all these sugar tests in their days, but my doctor explained how important it is. It is done between 24 and 28 weeks. I quietly followed the doctor's advice and got it done.
I freaked out when my doctor ordered the GCT, thinking something was wrong with my sugar! But actually, it is a routine test done for everyone around the 24th to 28th week. It's totally normal, so don't worry at all.
Oh, that glucose drink is super sweet, almost like a sugar overload! They usually do this test around 24-28 weeks. Honestly, it was a bit hard to drink it without throwing up, but I managed by thinking of my next delicious meal!
Hey! GCT is usually done in the second trimester, around 24-28 weeks. Don't stress too much about it, they just give you a sweet drink and test your blood. Just follow whatever your gynac advises.
Stay positive, beta. This test is normally done between 24 to 28 weeks to ensure both you and the baby are healthy. Just take care of your diet and keep your mind peaceful.
