High-Risk Pregnancy

How many of you....
Failed your one hour glucose but passed your three hour? I just found out I failed my one hour. I'm not terribly surprised, I do have several predisposing factors. How hard is living with GD? Are you hungry all the time?

Re: How many of you....
Well, first of all, if people pass the 3 hr, they don't have GD, so I doubt they would be on this board. And lots of people fail the 1 hr but pass the 3, though I don't have stats on that.
GD is annoying, but ultimately not that bad. We have had several posts the last couple of days from newly diagnosed GD moms... If you scan the board you will find some helpful info in the responses to their posts.
Good luck, and here's hoping you pass the 3 hour!
Pixiegirl pretty much summed up what I was going to say.
However, I did fail the 1 hour last pregnancy and passed the 3 hours. Although, it is debatable because my MFM disagrees with their decision to pass me last pregnancy.
I think it's something like 80% of those who fail the 1 hour pass the 3 hour.
Living with GD isn't a big deal. The needles suck, the diet is restrictive, possible complications can be scary, but GD is very manageable, and when well-controlled you can still have a healthy pregnancy and baby.

I'm not hungry at all. If anything I had to force feed myself the first few weeks on the diet because it felt like a ton of food since I was actually eating well and so often.
As Pixie said, I think most people you will find on this board failed both tests. From what I've seen on the July board failing the 1 hour and passing the 3 is fairly common.
