Ugh, Thanks, everyone. I was afraid of but expecting those answers! I called the nurse line at my clinic first thing this morning to discuss it with someone and get the glucose test scheduled for my appointment this week. I have a feeling it's going to come back positive, even though nobody in my family has ever had that or any type of diabetes. I can just tell. Ick, hopefully it won't be severe and will be easily controlled!

I would call ahead of your appointment so you can be prepared to do the glucose test while you're there.
I have GD. Try not to worry...it's not as bad as it can be made out. I've been keeping my numbers in check with diet and exercise (so, no meds) and I'm 36 weeks today.
Good luck!

I would def mention it bc excessive thirst is a big red flag for GD. They will probably want to go ahead and give you your glucose test since you're at the stage of pregnancy when gd starts to rear its ugly head. Gl though! Hopefully it is just due to it being Summer!

yes that is a sign, i'd call your doctor and tell them you think you need the test done a little early.

It's worse in the evenings, if that makes any difference
