I feel like such a failure. Now I have to wait for the specialist to call me from the hospital to schedule an appt to discuss my diet and I have to start checking my blood sugar 4 times a day. She just said I had a couple of high scores on the test. Does this officially mean I have GD? Am I high risk now? UGGGGGHHHH! So flustered!

Re: Failed my 3 hour :(
Hang in there! Remember this is not your fault, you did not do anything to cause this. Technically yes you are GD and labeled as high risk, but remember this doesn't mean that you will have complications, it just means they will be watching things more closely.I failed mine at 28 weeks and had to go on the GD diet. It was not so bad, it took a little adjusting, but after a few days I started to get the hang of it. Hopefully your experience will be like mine. I have been able to remain diet controlled, no pills or insulin and other than just a few high numbers, the sugar level has been easy to control. I am 39 weeks 2 days with a scheduled c-sec on Friday (unless LO decides to come on their own before that). You can do it!
On the upside, due to the GD status we got extra ultrasounds to check the baby's size. It was great to be able to see our LO. Try to focus on the positives.
