GD Screening

PeaceofKia

Have any of you failed your 1 hr GD screening but pass the three hour? I fasted before the one hour just to better my chances but no luck... :-(

My mom had it with all 3 of us and I was overweight Pre pregnancy... On top of carrying these girls, has me slightly worried and just wanted to see the outcomes for you ladies.

Well, I failed my 1 hour by 2 points. I didn't bother taking the 3 hour test. This was 2 years ago when I was pregnant with my son. He was born perfectly healthy I have not taken the test yet with this pregnancy. I have a feeling I won't skip the 3 hour if it's needed this time around.

Fasting before your 1hr does not reduce the chance of failing the test... it just makes the test even more accurate. There would be a greater margin of error if you hadn't fasted first.

SS here: I failed the one hour but passed the three hour with my first kid. With the twins, my doctor switched to a two hour test instead of the 1 and 3, and you got one shot at it - you fail any of the draws and you're screwed. He insisted I test early because I was so overweight, and I passed. Then he had me do it again later in the pregnancy, and at that point I failed and ended up having to take Glyburide after being unable to control my fasting numbers with diet.

I found out today I failed by more than a few points... My number was 201. I saw that a big majority of women whose number was is the 201 to 225 range were diagnosed with it after the 3 hour... I'm prepared for either outcome... I knew it were possible, I was borderline with DD but probably should've been diagnosed with it when I was pregnant with her.

I had GD for the last 2 months of my pregnancy with my twins...was not fun, but I got through it...I am fine now as I had to be retested 12 weeks after birth. I hope you don't have to deal with it but it is perfectly do-able
