I'm sorry, that sucks. There is a lot of support on the high-risk pregnancy board.

I'm so sorry

I have my 3 hour on Monday and I'm super nervous for it.

I have GD. I scored a 202 on the 1 hour...because I go big or go home. I went to a dietitian and was put on a meal plan. Nothing serious, just have to watch carb intake and, of course, sugar. I prick my finger 4 times a day for my levels. Fasting, 2 hour after breakfast, lunch and dinner. All my levels are fine. If for some reason you can't control with diet and exercise they will look into oral medication and lastly insulin shots. Good luck.

I just took mine this morning and am convinced I failed since the drink didn't really make me sick at all. (With my first pregnancy, I passed out it made me so sick). No words of advice just support! I know I'm already freaking out, but know it will be doable. GL!

Me! I saw the nurtritionist Tuesday of this week and then wednesday I saw the advice nurse who showed me how to use the glucose monitor. They will call me every wednesday and go over my levels. I did have a bad one today but I had a 6 inch tuna sandwich from Subway. Guess that is off my list . I should have known it was too much carbs. I wont be doing that again. The nutritionist appt had me stressed but the nurse was much more easy going. She said these first few weeks will be when I learn what I can and cant have.

GL! And come on over to high risk too. I dont post much there but there is lots of good GD reading.

So sorry to hear! I just took my 3 hr test today; no idea what's going to come of it but I know it can't be a good feeling right now. Hoping you can feel better about the dx and know that you can still have a healthy pregnancy and baby regardless!
