Gestational Diabetes

Ok So I had a son 3 years ago, I had GD with him. Then 19 mo ago I had a girl, I did NOT have GD with her. Now I am taking the test with my 3rd child (a boy) and I flunked the 1 hr test so I am going for the 3 hr next week. I can't remember how high my numbers were with my other 2...140 is passing I hit 184 this time around...Is there any chance I will pass the 3 hr test???

i don't know.... but you should be aware that GD means that your at an increased risk ( as in you will get it if your not careful) for diabetes. i would start working on your diet after you give birth, and maybe before....

I do watch my diet. I had lost 26 lbs just before getting pregnant with the 3rd and I never gain more than 29 lbs during pregnancy. I am currently 27 1/2 weeks and have only gained 8 lbs...I am catious. Its just genetic...my family has some strong roots in diabetes.

then you might be set up for it...... which sucks. sounds like you've been working really hard though. thats a good thing. i worked as a waitress for awhile and i remember this lady coming in, ordering a double cheeseburger, with doublehasbrowns, with cheese amd a few other things and a regular pop. i over heard her saying to her friend she came with that she was diabetic, and she needed to take her shot now. i watched her as she did it too. i was blown away. how irresponsible.
i give you props momma if your working hard to try and mange it before it becomes diabetes. i hope you don't have negative on your test. good luck.
