....of the gestational diabetes test that I have tomorrow. I know it's just a little sugary drink but I'm absolutely positive that I'm going to have GD and that it's going to mean horrible things for me and my baby. Anyone have any advice on how to get through tomorrow? Anyone else been diagnosed with GD?
Re: I'm scared to death....
The test itself is not bad at all, I actually think the drink was pretty good (tasted like a Sunkist).
I do not have GD, but from what I understand it is not a big deal at all. Just some minor changes in your diet. Nothing to be "scared to death" about.
And if you fail the 1 hour, don't stress. A LOT of people (inlcuding myself and nearly everyone I know) failed the 1 hour and then passed the 3 hour.
This time I passed the 1 hour, woot!
Good luck!
Why are you "absolutely positive" that you will have GD??????
And if you are, it is not the worst thing in the world. Trust me, there will be a million things in parenting to be scared to death about, this probably shouldn't be one of them. Worry about it after you get the results.
