Sugar in Urine - Gestational Diabetes?
I have just returned from my 36 week appointment, and for the first time they found sugar in my urine.
They immediately sent me for a blood test and also did a finger prick test. I have to wait 2 days for the blood test result, but the finger prick results were (I believe) perfectly normal (5.2).
I'm now really worried that I may have GD and end up having a giant baby! My only thoughts are is it strange that up until now my urine has been 100% normal, and the only time it goes high is after Christmas where I know I ate a lot more sugar than usual...could this be the explanation?
Anybody got any thoughts on this?

It could be a valid explanation. I had super high glucose levels in my urine for the two weeks up to Christmas whereas they had been fine before. Had to go into hospital to have the GTT test where you drink a sugary drink and the results came back fine and my last sample of urine was back to normal too.
Hope your results come back clear too and you don't have as much trouble as I did trying to chase the results!
