Failed the stinking one hour

By 10 stinking points. The nurse thought that was a small enough margin that should pass the 3 hour-but this blows goats!!!
I am so mad and upset right now. I felt like I had been doing really well with eating.

Re: Failed the stinking one hour
It has nothing to do with your eating habits hon. GD just is if it is and there's nothing that you can do to prevent it. That said, if you failed by 10 points, the nurse is probably right. Hang in there!

Failing the one hour does stink. I'm sorry. I hope you pass the three hour. Just imagine it could turn out really not fun and you could have to take the three hour twice. ::sigh::
FWIW, it's not what you eat that makes you pass or fail.
"During pregnancy, various hormones block the usual action of insulin. This helps to make sure your growing baby gets enough sugar. Your body needs to produce more insulin to cope with these changes. Gestational diabetes develops when your body can't meet the extra insulin demands of the pregnancy."

ETA: Correct information.
Sorry! It does suck - I failed the 1 hr & 3 hr too. Last Fri I spoke w/ nutritionist and she said the majority of us mamas are not doing anything wrong - it's just the pg hormones that are making our bodies wacky.
GL with 3 hr!
Thanks! That makes me feel a bit better.
I know how much that sucks! I needed a 130, and I had a 142. But totally passed the 3 hour.
Other than wasting a day off from work, and a realllly boring 3 hours, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Good luck!
