Well ladies... Got my 3hr glucose tolerance results back... Only one of the 4 blood draws was slightly elevated and the other three were fine so they consider that passing!!!!!!!! The nurse said to watch my carb and sweet intake (which I try to do now anyways) but other than that I am good to go!!! I am so damn excited and am totally going to celebrate tonight before going back to being good about what I eat  

Such an awesome way to start the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck to all of you who are having to take the 3hr test - I hope it all comes back passing

Glad to hear it! I ended up deciding to wait until Monday for mine. So I won't know until Tuesday.

Let me guess - the elevated one was the one that was an hour after you drank the flat orange soda?

Because the 1 hour has such a high rate of failure, my doctor skips it. He had me do a 2 hour version to start, and said it cuts down on the need for a second test by "significant amounts." I did it today, and it was rough having to sit for the two hours... But if it means I only have to do it once, so be it!

Is any of you feel faint and hot with an elevated heart rate and still pass your one or three hour? I'm nervous I failed mine but I had this same issue last pregnancy and didn't have it. (I had a midwife last time and she didn't do the one hour, we monitored it other ways)Too much sugar makes me feel this way, especially in the morning.

@doeie04 - I felt both faint and was having serious hot flashes during my 3hr and asked the nurse. She said it's pretty normal.

Oh thank goodness! I really don't want to have to be induced again. I already had to have a c-section with Logan and I really don't want another.
