    Apparently my fruit cravings have moved away from watermelon and have settled on mango.
    My cat is also becoming more and more instant on laying on my belly to some degree.

    @theneno1012 - good luck with the 3 hour test!

    The pregnancy cravings….are REAL. Nothing specific just when I want something, I need it. I get super hangry when my husband won’t give into my cravings and get me what I want 🤣 Uber eats has become my best friend.

    @kelsey_nach sorry to hear! Hopefully they call you soon with next steps. I just went out and bought a glucose meter tonight to start testing at home a few times a day along with watching my diet, not sure what the 3 hour test will show but I failed the 1 hour by a pretty large margin

    In other news it seems like the iron was somewhat effective. My hemoglobin came up into an acceptable range but my iron stores still decreased some. Waiting to see what next steps are

    @theneno1012 I'm sorry! I barely didn't pass my 1hr and then I barely passed the 3hr. Who knows!
    I'm glad your hemoglobin is doing better!
    @kelsey_nach oh no,  sorry! How are you feeling about it all?

    Just heard back and they aren’t going to order the 3hour test. I’m going to monitor my blood sugar and work with MFM if I can’t control the sugars with diet

    I take my glucose test this eve! They have me taking it a bit later this pregnancy than I did my first because they suspect I *may* have developed later term GD last pregnancy (he was 9lbs 2oz at 37 weeks). 
    Praying I pass, I feel confident about it but I still get nervous 🙈

    @lexilougolden - I’m mostly okay, but feeling a little overwhelmed. I’ve never tracked food or had to pay attention to my blood sugar before so it seems daunting. My dr office sent over info and I have a nutrition class early next week. It might be a lot but I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it!

    Have you guys noticed symptoms of GD or is it just coming up in the glucose tests? I kind of wondered if I had it last time since I gained so much weight and had a big baby but it didn’t show up on my glucose test🤷🏼‍♀️

    @beesgirls - I had no symptoms, it just showed up in the glucose tests. I was very surprised.

    No symptoms that I can notice. I am thirsty a lot so maybe? But other than that, I’ve gained significantly less weight at this point in this pregnancy than my first but I am measuring over a week ahead still (been pretty consistent since 20 weeks).
