I just had to share that I am soooo Happy I passed my 1hour test.

 It isn't half as bad as every one makes it out to be either.Big Smile

    The test isn't bad, and forgive me for speaking for others but I think most of the anxiety (at least mine was) comes from the possibility of failing the 1 and 3 hr and having to be a Diabetic for the rest of your pregnancy!

    Yes. Also... The 3 hour test was terrible.

    Yeah my lab tech told me she hoped I passed the 1hr cause the 3hr is nasty.

    I agree.  It wasn't a big deal at all.  Yay for passing!  I just got a message from my doctor that I passed too.

    ladies please weigh in here i failed my first 1 hour with a 206 so i was told you have diabetes we're not doing the 3 hour. I monitored my blood for a week without changing my diet  all came back in low to normal range.

    i got my dr to agree to rerun the 1 hour test tomorrow. if i fail again then i have to do the 3 hour. please tell me is it a bigger cup for the 3 hour & why its worse because im banking on the fact im going to fail again even tho my sugar is normal with all the meals ive had in the last week and a half

    I had to take the 3 hour...it really wasn't that bad.  The worst part was sitting around for 3 hours, but I was able to go Sat am, my DH came with me, and the lab had WiFi...that was great!  

    The drink for the 3 hr was a lot sweeter than the 1 hr.  I can't say I liked it, but I got it down.  I felt pretty jittery for the first hour, a bit nauseous (not too bad) for the second hour, and by the third hour, I was getting hungry and ready to go out for lunch!  No, the 4 blood draws aren't fun, but 4 pokes to check to see if baby and I am healthy doesn't seem like a lot.

    I also agree with a PP who said the majority of the anxiety comes from worrying about having diabetes and possible pregnancy complications as a result.

    You have to drink more of the sugary drink and from what I hear, it's sweeter than the one for the 1-hour.  And sitting around for 3 hours would be quite boring as well!

    The PA at the diabetic told me that the one hour is 50 grams of sugar and the three hour is 100 grams. So either double the amount or twice as sweet.

    3 hour GT test is not that bad.. it is the same liquid put a little stronger... Plus you get pocked 4 times... now that is what I could have lived without... I failed my 1 hour test by 1 point and also fasted.... Took the 3 hour one today and will call the Dr on Friday for the results... But I know I passed... at least hope... :)
