Hi April,

I really dont know what this could be besides pins and needles. But if it is severe I would try to go to a diffrent doc. Hope your feeling better hun.

Most gestational disbetes resolves after the birth and you will have been well tested for this anyway.

The sugar in urine test is good enough. Only if there is something found in that do further investigations need to be done.

April,

i think the worst thing us anxiety sufferers can do is self diagnose!!

I also get the tingling on my head but luckily I got it before the anxiety kicked in so don't worry to much about it!!!

let us know how you get on at the doctors

At least i got good doctor, she was really thorough! if thats how you spell it, im normally a good speller, ha ha, love april x
