So,
Had a doctors appointment on Thursday and I've been having issues with major migraines, dizzy spells, loss of vision, and having a hard time regaining it back. Not to mention the crazy amount of times I go to the bathroom, my undying thirst, fatigue.. and my constant need to be stuffing my face. I am 23 weeks pregnant, and he feels that it may have something to do with my glucose or my iron levels, but says it's too early to do the blood test for either one of them.
So what exactly am I supposed to do until I AM far enough along? Wait around to see if I get worse? Possibly faint or pass out while taking care of my toddler?? I called yesterday, and his nurse told me to call my PCP and have her order some diagnostic tests. I asked if I should just go to women and infants hospital and she told me it wasn't necessary? I just want to know what's going on!!

@ashley07, am I able to go get a testing kit myself? I have no idea how that works 😖 I never had GD with my first son
They said they do the glucose testing and iron (anemia) testing at 26 weeks. I read up on line and it said gestational diabetes can be caught after 20 weeks of pregnancy. And that low iron can be caught at any time, doesn't make any sense to me what so ever.
How can they say it's too early to check your iron? It was so in the first set of labs that I did??
Idk bout sugar levels but iron gets tested off bat . That's the first round of blood they take i am a serve anemic and have been all my life they put me back on my iron pills soon as I got pregnant and got the results .
