The thirst and the "borderline" GCT result (if there is such a thing) has me concerned that somehow, GD was "missed." I've heard that GD can deteriorate/age the placenta. My questions:

1. With a normal fundal height, active baby, and normal heartbeat, is it likely that my placenta remains healthy?

2. Is it ususal practice to check fluid levels and placental health/functioning by ultrasound, and should I have this done?

Thanks
