19. Gestational Diabetes: Pregnancy Risks, Testing Options, and Alternatives to Glucola Drink

Your Birth Bestie | The Pregnancy Podcast for an Informed and Fearless Birth Experience

Do you have your gestational diabetes screening coming up? (Usually around 24-28 weeks!)

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

• Why you should even care about if you have gestational diabetes…
• What to anticipate your doctor will recommend for testing and how to choose if it’s right for you…
• Tips to make the glucose test tolerable if you choose it… (remember nothing is mandatory!)
• Testing alternatives like The Fresh Test, instead of the Glucola drink and why you should question this option…

The gestational diabetes test doesn't have to be stressful! Explore your options, whether it's the traditional approach or alternatives like The Fresh Test, because you have the right to make informed decisions that suit your unique needs and preferences!
