    Lots of people fail the first. Did you ask by how much you failed? I took the 3 hour last Thursday and passed. Good luck!

     

    my sugar was 147.  I am pretty bummed about it.  I know I shouldn't beat myself up about it but alas, I am....

    You can't beat yourself up.  I failed both and have GD.  I cried for a few days but I've realized it's all going to be okay.  I'm not overweight, eat pretty healthy and I have it. It's truly your hormones defying you!  No matter what, it will all be okay!

    Don't feel bad...I have failed every 1 hour test I have taken.  In fact, this time, my doc just bypassed the one hour and went straight for the 3 hour...just finished it this morning.

    I failed the 1 hour with a 140, but passed the 3 hour! Don't feel bad -- I guess it happens a lot.

    This This This.

    I beat myself up pretty bad for a few days then finally came to terms with the fact that it wasn't my fault & that its a GOOD thing it was discovered because now I can take better care of my baby.

    I've been on the GD diet now for about 3 weeks and its totally doable and way more healthy than I was eating before -- a huge plus.

    Just had my first biophysical profile of the baby this morning (which I'll now be having every 2 weeks) and everything looked amazing :) 

    Anywho... lots of people fail the 1 and pass the 3.  GL!

    I honestly think they just want our money!  I failed the 1 hour, then had to pay the hospital $187 (I hadn't met my deductible or some BS) to take the 3 hour which I passed with flying colors.  IMO - a total waste of time and money!  I mean I know it's necessary to determine the health of my baby, but you would think with so many women failing the 1 hour and then passing the 3, they would come up with some other method of checking this!  Grrr!
