Failed 28 Week glucose screen...womp, womp! :-(

pjasper77

So I failed the 28 week screen and now I have to go back for the half-day multi draw screen. 

Did anyone here fail the initial screen and pass the others?  I know GD isn't the worse thing in the world but I am just hoping that the initial results were a fluke.

My thoughts exactly.  Is there something you can do (leading up to the test) to increase your chances of passing?  Curbing carbs, etc.?

I failed the 1 hour and passed the 3 hour. It is fairly common. Most people who fail the first will actually pass the second, so the odds are on your side.

Good luck!

I also failed the 1 hr and passed the 3 hr.  As PP mentioned, most people who have to do 3 hr will still pass, so the odds are in your favor.

I failed the one hour and passed the three hour.

The drink was a little grosser the second time but on the positive side, it ruined my appetite, so I wasn't hungry while I was fasting. Having my blood drawn that frequently wasn't pleasant but it also wasn't the worst experience.

Good luck!

I also failed the first and passed the second with flying colors. I definitely felt worse because the drink was larger/more sugary, but the nurse said my sugar levels were some of the lowest she'd seen...probably why I felt so horrible. I think it's pretty common to fail the first and pass the second. GL!

I failed one hour glucose screening all 3 pregnancies. I passed 3 hour glucose test with all 3 pregnancies. Totally common and nothing you can do about it. Don't even stress about it until you need to - which odds are, you won't need to

With my DD I failed the 1 hour with a reading of 137 (apparently their cut off was 130!) I blew the 3 hour out of the water though.  I think I ate something like Cheerios before the 1 hour which skewed my results.  This time around I didn't get a chance to eat anything before my 1 hour because it was so early and I was running my DD to school, but I passed this time with 109.  Good luck!  The 3 hour wasn't too bad, just really boring and I hate needles!  Oh... and if you have a choice of drinks, the fruit punch is soooo much better than the orange flavored (and I love orange!).

Im actually in this same boat!

I failed the 1 hr last wed. I got a 144.

I go this wed for the 3 hr! NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO IT! 

Ive heard alot of people fail the 1 hr but pass the 3 hr so Im hoping for the same results!

Good luck to you!
