gd.

this has probably been asked a thousand times .. but right now im too upset to look for it.
i found out i failed my 1 hour glucose test. my levels were 183 .. the highest they allow is 140.
so my question .. have any of you failed your one hour but had your three hour come back in the normal range ??
it upsets me .. because my health has been like perfect .. then i fail my glucose test. we were worried about me getting pre eclampsia again .. but have realized its more than likely not gonna happen. now i gotta worry about this.

I could not pass the second one because I could not keep the drink down. But I have a friend who is due like a week after me and she failed her first one, but passed her second one!!

Good luck!! I have GD and its so annoying!

ugh. i hate those drinks. theyre too sweet. i had to literally gag mine down for my one hour test. it was like that with my first pregnancy too. id rather eat pure straight sugar. lol
i heard it does suck. =( i cant stick to no kinda diet .. so im screwed. i just dont want him to end up being a large baby .. becausei was plannin on goin med-free this time. since my epi didnt work last time. lol =/
thank you !

My one hour was 165, then I took the 3 hour and passed with flying colors.

The 3 hour was boring as hell and awful though, I felt sick the whole time and was just sitting in the waiting room bored out of my mind! Bring books/mags/ and your IPOD!!

I made my fiancee come and entertain me for half of it too!! = P

Good Luck, you'l lbe fine, GD isn't that bad, they just make you change your diet.

I failed my first test, but passed the second. I guess it's common.Good Luck!

yeah its gonna be really boring. i have my 3d ultrasound tomorrow .. but they'll do that right after i drink that stuff. ew. so after that it'll drive me nuts. i dont even know if my boyfriends gonna be able to go to the ultrasound .. hes short on hours with work .. so thats gonna be depressing not having him there at all tomorrow.
i hope i pass with flying colors. ugh. =)
thank you. but changing my diet would be bad .. because .. i cant stick to any type of 'diet' lol. if so i woulda lost all my weight from my first pregnancy in like a month. heck i eat pretty good now as it is. i dont think it could get any healthier besides eatin straight salads and fruits. ew. i hate lettuce.

i failed my first and passed my second twice! i got it done the first time like around 14 weeks cuz i was displaying some gd symptoms but since i passed the 3 hour i had to do it again at the normal time

I can't really stick to much of a diet either.. and its extra hard for me because most meats make me sick so I eat nothing but pasta which turns into the bad sugars.

Anyways, I have to give myself shots daily.. and like I said before.. it's really not bad, just annoying to have to remember to do all that... but I know its the best thing for me and the baby.

If you ever need any help with anything or have questions.. let me know!!

Yes  .. pasta is bad sugar.. most people just say to lay off sugars, but its not really sugars...sugars like sweet stuff metabolize fast in your body, however carbs turn into sugar which stays in your system longer.

The shots are not bad .. really. I thought I couldnt do it either.. I mean I am the girl who use to cry when they started rubbing the spot with alcohol. I was always terrified of needles. However, the needles for my shots are really thin and only like 1/4 of a inch. So its really not bad. With the extra padding I have now, I dont even feel it.

oh. see .. i didnt know that about pasta. i knew carbs were what turned into the bad sugar .. but i didnt really put carbs and pasta together. lol oops.

haha. ive got a pretty moderate amount of tattoos and piercings .. but when it comes to having my blood drawn and having shots .. i chicken out. i have to have them use the butterfly needle .. the smallest needle .. to take my blood .. or i wont let them anywhere near me. =/ they look at me like im crazy .. haha. i just dont wanna be stuck damn it.

It will be fine!! Lets just hope you pass the 3 hour! Good luck and let me know how it goes.
