Failed my 1 hour glucose test...

Now I have to go back next week for the 3 hour. I knew it was coming but still was hoping for different results.

eta: I was 13 weeks when I started last time so they test early this time. I will be 12 weeks next week. I am also anemic.

Oh no!  Did this happen with your first?

Yes and early on also. I know how to deal with it and control it with diet so it will be ok.

This happened with my second pregnancy, but it's probably because I was eating 2 frosted strawberry Poptarts every morning - including the morning of the glocose testing!  The three hours test went fine, except it was brutal having to sit in the waiting room.  I always though they should have a bed or couch you could lay on while you waited.

I just did my three hour yesterday. I'll get the results tomorrow.. I'm hoping these are better rresults and I don't have to test daily. Good luck!

Also, when is your due date?  If you're due in May isn't it too early for the screening?  Or maybe I just don't remember when it's done...

I was about 6 months when I did it last time.  But I'm sure every place is different.

We do them here around 6 months as well.  I spiked pretty bad on a 3 hour test I took last April, so I'm certain I will fail the 1 hour. I'm praying they just put me through to the 3 hour, let me fail, and call it a day.

I was wondering the same thing! I remember doing this test further on in the pregnancy. Geez I hated waiting around at the hospital for just the one hour! I can't imagine waiting 3.

Boo!  I hope you get a better result from the retest.

Ugh...I still have to do my one-hour glucose test.  I was supposed to go the week of October 1st.  LOL.  But, I'm afraid I will fail like I did with my first pregnancy and have to go through another three-hour test.  I was so miserable during it...I was so nauseous.  The lab tech said that if I threw up, I'd have to start all over again.  So, there I sat in the lab, curled up in the corner trying not to vomit.  I was so glad to find out that I passed.

I was thinking the same thing! I'm glad my new OB has a nicer waiting room and comfy chairs!
