so, as i anticipated, i failed my 1 hour today. i didn't just miss the cutoff either, i failed miserably. i have to do the 3 hour on friday. i'm just so frustrated because i can't imagine passing after having such high numbers today.
my appointment went okay otherwise. i only gained 4 lbs this month, bringing my total to 16 at 28 weeks. i am still measuring ahead by about a week and a half and my bp was a bit on the high side, but urine was fine. got my hospital pre-registration packet today too. scary.
Re: crummy day :(
I'm sorry! I hope you pass the 3 hour!
16lbs in 28 weeks is really good!

How high was your number? Mine was like 164 or 168 and I passed the 3 hour.
The maternal fetal medicine docs here had me eat a high carb diet the 3 days before the 3 hour test. He had me eat all the ice cream, candy, bread etc I could. They said it would get my pancreas working to kick out more insulin so my body wouldn't be in shock from the sugar for the 3 hour. It helped prep me for it and I passed with flying colors.
I'm so sorry about your GD test. That bites. I am hoping you will pass the 3 hr - a lot of people fail the one hour but pass the more intense one, you know?
Otherwise, things sound good - I am very envious of your weight gain! I had gained far more than that at 28 weeks - I think I was around 25lbs by then and at my appt today I gained 2lbs in 1 week. Thank you, Thanksgiving! So I think you are doing great.
And OMG your ticker is suddenly on overdrive... you are getting so close to the end, my beautiful maybride!!
really??? my number was 162. my OB suggested i avoid carbs between now and friday. wtf?!? i like your plan so much better! now i have no clue what to do.
pre-registration packet isn't scary... it's EXCITING! you're getting closer!
sorry about having to do the 3hour gtt... bring a book and a good snack so the second that last blood is drawn you can put something in your tummy!
