Roll Call: Glucose Test

NELSMD · September 2014

Took my 1 hr on Saturday morning and passed!

Sweetsix06 · September 2014

My 1 hour is coming up! I'm nervous, hopefully it will go well!

racheldiaries · September 2014

Had my one-hour on the 8th and passed.

Saintelizabeth · September 2014

My 1hour is next Tuesday, hoping it goes well!

Fossegirl1228 · September 2014

I had mine on Monday and I passed but I don't remember what the number was.

edit: it was a one hour test

kapio2012 · September 2014

I have mine tomorrow morning. Not too worried about it.

colliebabe · September 2014

I had mine yesterday. I don't remember the drink making me feel nauseated last time, but it sure did this time. Uck.

sarahlynne30 · September 2014

just had my 1 hour yesterday; haven't heard any results yet.

kimba1976 · September 2014

Getting my results in about 6 hours. I expect I passed.

Crystal7perry · September 2014

Found out I passed (but only just) the 1 hour on Tuesday. Had to suffer a minor lecture from doctor but overall she's not concerned. My iron was fantastic though!

Tarene · September 2014

have mine in the 26th, just the 1 hour.

melaniejo527 · September 2014

I have my 1 hour today..

Spartanmama722 · September 2014

Had my one hour yesterday and already got the call this morning that I failed. By four points. 3 hour next Wednesday, which should be fun.

bombe4 · September 2014

Taking my second 3 hour on Saturday morning. I have to mentally prepare myself for this.

jaymee1021 · September 2014

Got my results back earlier in the week all my levels were normal! Thank God! Wishing everyone else good luck with theirs!

kayak11 · September 2014

I had the 1hr about 2 weeks ago and just found out yesterday that I passed. I hadn't heard anything so I was assuming that no news was good news! My iron is a bit low so I need to add a supplement in addition to my prenatal. Good luck to everyone taking the test this week!

bowlwoman · September 2014

Usually if you have it they call right away, because they want to get you into a diet/testing protocol right away. So yes, no news is usually good news.

ksalley · September 2014

Sitting in the waiting room awaiting my blood draw. It didn't taste as bad as I thought it would. And my ob office keeps theirs in the fridge. Hooray!

SerenityAE · September 2014

Mine was on Tuesday (1-hour) and I passed with 114. I tried to tell the Dr I was gonna pass without the stupid test because I check my sugars and always have low numbers.

The drink isn't that bad. Ask for the lemon/lime one. It tastes just like flat sprite.

I think this is normally the case, but I didn't get a call from my OB to let me know I failed until a week and a half after (apparently she was out sick?). I think that's rare, but just wanted to throw it out there. I was convinced I had passed since I hadn't heard from them, but no...big fat fail.

Pros521 · September 2014

I did mine Friday. I'm guessing I'll get results at my dr appt Wednesday

hpharding · September 2014

I have a month until mine. I am not at all looking forward to it. blech!!

The same thing happened to me last pregnancy. I thought I had passed and two weeks later they told me I had failed at my regular OB appt.

alanier18 · September 2014

I took mine last wed. The drink was good and I felt fine during the hour waiting period but on my way home I got all shaky and sick and needed to eat immediately. I hadnt gotten a phone call yet so I figured I passed. I went in the patient portal website and saw I got a 97 soooo yay! I'm so glad I didn't have to take the three-hour. I would have died.

mcr957 · September 2014

Got my results back on Monday and I passed; my blood work also looked great. Good thing because I got very dizzy and sweaty after the first blood draw, so I couldn't imagine fasting for the 3 hour. I rewarded myself with some bacon and pancakes

mcr957 · September 2014

marsavary I would call your OB office to be sure of the instructions. I was asked to fast for two hours prior to my appointment and drink a minimal amount of water. I wouldn't want to fast longer than necessary!

Ktrego · September 2014

Mine is next week!

I have been taking the gummy vitamins my entire pregnancy (they don't contain iron) with the permission of my doc. I'm hoping they don't find GD or an iron deficiency!

Anyone else just taking gummy vitamins?

VyD81 · September 2014

Took the 1hr test yesterday, waiting on the result. FX that everything is normal.

haleyusf · September 2014

Took the 1hr this morning and should find out the results in a few days. Not overly hopeful b/c I failed the 1hr with DS but passed the 3hr. Also got my rhogam shot and had an internal check -- yay for no dilation! Started dilating at 31wks with DS, so they are watching me a little more closely. Good times!

ginger514 · September 2014

Took the 1 hour last Saturday and passed with a 130, which was better than with my first.

kalynn12 · September 2014

Had mine on Tuesday, waiting for my results. I really hope I passed as I don't know if I can make it through the 3 hour one

nolanova85 · September 2014

Had mine this morning. Got the red drink. Wasn't nearly as bad as I had prepped myself for (though, "too sweet" has never been something that has bothered me!). During the 1 hour wait I had a 28 week ultrasound (placenta check) and 28 week appt. The good news is my placenta has moved up! Baby's head and abdomen are measuring 2 weeks ahead - 97th & 92nd percentile, respectively. Of course this makes me nervous for GD. Legs are measuring right on track date wise and are 42nd percentile.

When I went down to my appt doc didn't have ultrasound data yet but we relayed what the tech had told us. She measured my bump and said it was measuring 2 weeks ahead also, so I will likely get at least one additional growth check ultrasound.

I usually get blood results super fast, so I'm hoping I may get them by tomorrow. DH is diabetic, so when we got home we used his finger pricker to check me. Of course, it had been 1hr 45min by that point, but sugar was only 83. Not sure if it's exactly the same thing, but hoping that is a good sign.

ETA: during ultrasound we could see baby opening his eyes and then yawning. Today is my birthday and it was pretty much the best birthday present ever!

delaynees+mom · September 2014

I go tomorrow for my 1-hour test. Really hoping I pass.

ebilbao · September 2014

Had my one hour on Monday. I was so hungry that I happily guzzled that Glucola. Waiting for results.

freakyfast · September 2014

I don't have mine for another two weeks, but why do some offices ask that you fast and others don't? Mine told me to eat like I normally would breakfast and/or lunch? My appointment is at 9:30 so I will have had breakfast by then.

nolanova85 - Happy Birthday!

beachy6 · September 2014

Just passed mine. Thank goodness. I got to eat a candy bar instead of the drink.

After I passed, my only thought was of pure happiness because I really enjoyed the candy bar and now I can have more. Sad.

Happy Birthday! And welcome to the mid-September birthday club.
