Does everyone need to have a glucose test when pregnant? Midwife hasn't mentioned it to me at all!

Question

Kate Smith · Answer

No, only if she has reason to believe you might be diabetic

Sarah Lynne · Answer

I'm half Caribbean! So I definitely need one then? Looks like I'll be on phone trying to get an appointment tomorrow then 🙊

Mel · Answer

I had one the other day.. they mentioned about it affecting larger women, older women, women from Asian and African Caribbean backgrounds (that's me) so I'm not sure everyone is tested. 
TBH diabetes runs through my dad's side so it might be just to test to check if history in the family. 
I'm waiting to hear. 
They did a good job at trying to find my veins.. meaning they struggled and made my arm sore. But all is ok 👌🏽
