I went to my appointment yesterday and had to do my sugar test. It came back 144, I'm assuming is high, and they told me I'm going to have to schedule another appointment for the 3 hour glucose sugar test. I am terrified that this means I have pregnancy diabetes and what it could mean for my son! They said just because I have to go for the 3 hour test does not necessarily mean that I have diabetes. I'm curious to know if any other moms out there have went through this or is currently dealing with this?? I'd really like some information or anything at this point because my appointment isn't until Monday.
Re: glucose sugar test came back high
If you have diabetes, the doctor will see you more often and likely refer you to a nurtritionist for a diet plan. You will have to check your blood sugar several times a day, but it is really not that bad. Once the placenta is delivered, most people no longer have high blood sugars, but you do have a greater chance of having diabetes later in life.
My son was fine when I had this, and he did not get too big. He wieghed under 8 pounds and had no complications.
Good luck!!
