    Try not to worry. There are so many of us who fail the one hour. Good luck on the 3 hour! Be sure to take colace so you don't get constipated.

    sorry to hear that.

    re: anemia - i take slow FE (doc's preferred iron supp) and i haven't had any constipation issues. i was convinced i would have them b/c i dealt with them most of my pregnancy, but this particular supplement did not cause any issues.

    good luck!

    Sorry about the GTT.  I hope you pass the 3 hour.  And yuck to 16 hours of fasting.  I am starving after 2 hours of not eating Indifferent

    Hoping you pass the 3 hour but I understand about the fasting - I'm having a c-section at 11 a.m. and can't eat or drink after midnight and I'm like how do you expect a pregnant lady to do that?

     I hope the Iron supplements don't have side effects but they should also make you feel better.
