I failed the 1 hour my first pregnancy but passed the 3 hour. ?It still sucked spending all morning at the lab being poked repeatedly though. ?I'm keeping my fingers crossed I pass 1 hour this time.

same here. i am taking my 1 hr on thursday.

fay- most people who fail the 1 pass the 3, but even if you don't,the GD diet isn't bad (and it helps with weight maintenance...)

ack!  Don't eat any carbs or sugary items that morning.  Good luck!

Yes, sitting in the lab all morning is a bummer, but my appointment is at 7:30 so atleast I will be out of there semi-early and can come to work afterwards.

I failed the 1 hr and passed the 3 hr last time.  I take the 1 hr on Thursday.  I hope I pass it the first go round. 

Be sure to take a good book and a sweater (those labs are soooo cold).

I can't eat after midnight the night before .... my baby is going to be one hungry girl!

I hope the three hour goes better for you!

Ugh, the 3 hour is no fun. Be sure to keep some snacks so you can eat something right when you're done. I felt dizzy and faint afterwards and needed food right away!
