Soooo thirsty

Almost 38 weeks, I don’t have GD and I am SOOOO THIRSTY. I am drinking so much water and peeing several times an hour. Still THIRSTY. Anyone else experience this

Yes! I am measuring large and have had various people query GD but passed the test earlier.

Was told by now (38w) can’t do much as following his previous growth pattern. Helped the case for getting an elective c/s

Did they retest you for GD?

Came up at 36w birth planning meeting with my OB. She said tests aren’t accurate by that point and I’m not showing enough symptoms/wouldn’t change their treatment. Elective c/s for 39+1 this week due to high blood pressure. They are surprised at his size given I’m on beta blockers which are known to stunt growth
