Pregnant after IF

how common is it to fail the 1 hour glucose and pass the 3 hour glucose test?

Got the call today that said I failed my 1 hour glucose with a level of 151. They wanted it under 130. Scheduled to go in this Thursday for the 3 hour. I've been trying to find info on the interwebz about it, but not getting any good data so I figured I'd ask you ladies because I trust you more anyway ;)

Did any of you fail the 1 hour and pass the 3? Anything I can do to try to make sure I have a better shot at passing? I'm pretty upset, but from what I'm reading it doesn't sound terribly uncommon for this to happen. Thoughts?

  • Failed my 1 hour last week with a 180. Going in on Wednesday for my 3 hour, so I will let you know then! I'm not really changing much. Just cutting back on sugar...I have a really bad sweet tooth. Plus we were on vacation all last week, so hoping my vacation food is out of my system by Wednesday!

  • The 1 hour flags something like 25% of people who take it, but only 5% of pregnant women fail the 3 hour.  You'll probably be fine.  Did they give you instructions for fasting?   For a couple of days ahead of time, definitely cut down on your simple sugars, including juice.  Good luck!

    Lots of love and luck to my PAIF/3T/IF Veteran ladies, especially my dear friend Zookie. Congrats to Papps, Teach84 and Starbuck on their little ones.
  • My sister failed the 1 hour with all her 3 kids but passed the 3 hour every time.  Her kids were all big though.  They all were born at 38 weeks exactly and weighed 8.15, 9.0, and 9.3.

    GL!

    Did you eat before your 1 hour? 

    I failed my 1 hour test and they said it was probably because I ate breakfast.  They told me I could.  They have you fast for the 3 hour.  I passed that one.  Good luck!!

  • One of my IRL friends failed her 1 hour, but passed her 3 hour.  I don't think she did anything different before doing the 3 hour.  Good luck!

    I think it's pretty common to fail the 1 hour.  I failed with a level of 137 and then passed the 3 hour.  I don't think there is much you can do to increase your chances of passing - just follow the instructions they give you.
