Re-introducing myself; 32 weeks pregnant

kbowman78 · July 2009

Hey all,

I've posted here before several months ago before I got pregnant, but have been pretty dormant. I'm such a neurotic basket case this pregnancy because I had suffered a miscarriage before this. I somehow had this stupid feeling that if I got on the boards too much, I'd freak myself out by reading other people's posts about their problems, etc....

Well, I'm ready to come out of hiding. I'm 32 weeks right now and am having a boy; delivering at Dekalb Medical. Due date is Sept. 5th.

I've had an interesting pregnancy. I found out I'm a carrier for cystic fibrosis; lucky DH is not! Also joined the club of those who failed 1 hr glucose screening. I did pass the 3 hour technically by only failing one reading (and it was only 1 point over the cutoff), but I guess I still don't understand why you have to fail 2 readings to be diagnosed with GD. Anyone had experience with this? I guess I'm worried that I am "borderline" since I failed one and that possibly I could end up with GD anyway (This is the part where I'm acting neurotic)

Looking forward to talking with everybody!

Hi,

I also failed the one hr but passed the 3 hr. I did fail one part of the 3 hour, but was told to just watch the carbs. I'm due in 10 days and haven't had any problems. So try not to worry too much. i know it must be hard. Welcome back to the board, the ladies on here are so wonderful!!!

My first GD test was high. So high in fact the nurse said I failed but then the doctor said I didn't b/c she was going by old standards. I was also worried about being boarderline but my ob said either you have it or you don't. He said it doesn't matter how high your reading is as long as it is under the cut off. Congrats on your little boy!! He will be here brfore you know it!!!
