GD Test Question (Esp. 2+ mamas)

Baby_Bunny_Hopeful

Ok....Has anyone failed the 1 hour and then passed the 3 hour?  

If so, what was your glucose level on the 1 hour that you had failed?

Moms of 2+: Did you have GD with #1, fail the 1 hour this time and still pass the 3 hour?

I had GD with DS- diet/exercise only... passed my early GTT this pregnancy, but just failed my 1 hour with a 194!!!  I opted to have the 3 hour test taken tomorrow rather than going straight to MFM.  

Is there any hope that I could pass the 3 hour??

There's always hope you could pass it, but I'd look at it realistically - you've got a history of GD and a high 1 hour .... probably best not to expect to pass, you know?  If you do it will be an awesome surprise!

I had GD with #1, failed 1 hour with 170something, failed 3 hour.  I had GD with #2,  failed 1 hour with about the same score I had with #1, refused to take 3 hour, operated as if I had GD.  Passed the 1 hour with #3.

Good luck tomorrow!

First of all- CONGRATS on passing with your third pregnancy- WOW!!!!

I'm trying to stay optimistic but I'm preparing for "the worst" LOL.  I just have crappy insurance this pregnancy so it will be very $$$ and naturally, I feel like my body is "failing" me... which I know I can't do anything about it- but still.

I'm also concerned that it will be more difficult to manage this time around since all my cravings are sweets (as opposed to spicy and meats with DS1)

I'll keep you posted... probably won't have results till Monday- but I will be bringing my glucose meter/strips to test myself there too

I failed my 1 hr with 149 (my hospital's cutoff is 140 - which to me doesn't make any sense that every hospital would have a different cutoff.  It seems like it would be consistent across the board).  I took my 3 hr on Saturday and still haven't heard from the Dr.'s office so I'm hoping no news is goods news.  I am a FTM but from reading other posts there is always hope, but be prepared for the worst.  GL
