1st glucose screening when?

Silly question, but I just CAN NOT remember this one. If one was a gestational diabetic in a previous pregnancy, at what gestation should the blood glucose be screened in subsequent pregnancies?? Any other complications, warning signs, etc. to be aware of? I just can NOT dig the answers out of the recesses of my mind on this one!

I think ob/gyn's start screening around 24-28 weeks. Some warning signs would be excessive eating/hunger, excessive thirst, and excessive urination (well-that is kind of hard to ascertain in pregnancy).

28 weeks is the usual time for the one hour glucola. However, some docs do one at the beginning of the pregnancy in addition to the 28 week one.

26-28 weeks most of the time around here. Maybe even earlier if previous strong history exists or particularly at risk.
