Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am already 20 weeks pregnant. After this prenatal check-up, the doctor asked me to come back for a gestational diabetes test next time. I have never had diabetes before, so why do I need this test? The baby is developing quite well inside my stomach, but it seems that the baby is a bit big?Doctor's answer:
