I I just got my results that I failed my glucose test I got 140 when it needed to be 135 , now I’m stressing and worried of course . I’m gonna go in Monday and do my 3 hour test but did any other mamas fail their first but pass their 3 hour my heart is racing cuz I’ve been staying active and eating right with my occasional sweets then to find out that has nothing to do with glucose levels lol

I feel for ya. It is not fun, especially when they use the terminology "fail." We really don't have much control over pregnancy hormones that can cause insulin resistance. I know it's difficult, but try not to be hard on yourself. Just do your best in trying to control your diet. Hope your 3-hour test goes well, but if it doesn't, know that it'll be ok.

@knottieabc8e0f72bd2a813 don’t worry too much. I got diagnosed this time at 13 weeks (tested early from previous pregnancy and it went completely away after). Just another thing to deal with. Also I have ice cream 3-4 nights a week. There’s always a way to have sweets in your carb counts (if you want).
