Failed my 1 Hr Glucose on to the 3 Hr!

I am shocked I failed this. It was 151, when they would like it to be no higher than 140. I didn't have GD with DS1, but I guess every pregnancy is different, so anything can happen!

They want me to eat at least 150 grams of carbs for the next 3 days until my test. That part will be nice! Bring on the CARBS!

It's pretty normal to fail the 1 hr and pass the 3 hr. That's what happened to me with ds.

I think I read that the placenta (which is obviously different in every pg.) is a major factor in determining if you will have GD or not.

I also think it's very interesting that your Dr. is having you eat carbs before the test (I personally think it's great) as there are so. many. posts. about "fasting" and "limiting carbs" in order to trick the test. It boggles my mind.

Good luck!!

That is so interesting! You learn something new everyday! My placenta has already proven it is different this time around by being low lying, posterior and with DS1 I had an antierior. Thanks for the info!

Yeah I hated the GTT.....I failed the one hour with DS, and the early and normal GTT with DD.

But Passed the 3 hour all 3 times with flying colors....I think you will be fine.

I had a 144 at my last GTT....you should pass it

You should be okay with that number. I failed my one hour with DD (with a 136, my OB's limit is 130), and passed the 3 hour with no issues. So many things can affect the test, from your placenta to what you eat. I'm pretty sure I passed mine this time around, as I still haven't gotten a call. So every pregnancy really is different.
