Noticed a few girls mention they're getting or have already had a glucose test and just wondering if it's a routine thing or just in certain pregnancies and depending on certain things? I've not had one mentioned to me by midwife so just wondering if I should be saying to her about it?

I had one at 35 weeks because baby is measuring very big but it came back clear. You only need to have one if there's a medical reason, immediate family history or if you have symptoms of gestational diabetes. It's a very long, boring process and you can't eat or drink for 12 hours. xx

not everyone has to have it. only if there's a higher chance of gestational diabetes, weight or family member which expands to aunts cousins and grandparents too. I had one because of my maternal grandmother having diabetes. it's not a fun experience tbh x

@zannam, not sure about others but I'm getting mine next week because I'm plus size (fat 😂) if you're worried about it then mention it to your midwife but unless she has said anything I wouldn't worry too much 😊xx

Okay this may sound dumb. FTM here though. I keep seeing you ladies mention a membrane sweep. Is that some thing that the dr does for sure or do you guys request it? And also what is it.. ? I'm curious because it hasn't been mentioned to me so I was wondering if my dr just hasn't mentioned it yet or if you guys actually request it or if it's a medical issue thing. But I also am not sure what it's meant for anyways lol. I don't like googling things though so...
