About glucose challenge test
My doctor prescribed me glucose challenge test in 8th month of my pregnancy. Is it necessary because i already checked this in my first trimester and it was normal.
Will Drinking 75grms of glucose at 8th of pregnancy harm my baby? As it is a sugary solution. Please suggest drinking glucose at this time is safe for baby or not.

It is necessary. There are many hormones secreted by the placenta which may interfere with glucose metabolism. That's why there is something known as Gestational Diabetes.
