Update: I sadly "failed" my 1 hour glucose test by 6 points. My doctor didn't really seemed too worried that I would fail the three hour. I am very in shape, healthy and exactly the healthy weight. I however, am horrified. I am not look forward to sitting in the hospital for 3 hours on 12 hours without food, drinking pure sugar then getting my blood taken 4 times
Plllllllleaseee send prayers my way that I pass this time!! I don't think I can handle restricting my food to low sugar, carbs and sodium!!
Next appointment:
3 hour Glucose test on 2/22...
March 1st at 28 weeks 1 day for regular appointment.
Aw, such a bummer that you failed the GD test. It was just a little though so hopefully the three hour test is no biggie. You look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteAwh thank you so much for your sweet comment :) THe three hours test was not fun. 4 blood draws in an hour & much sweeter drink. Praying I passed!!
ReplyDeleteYuuuuck. Sorry you failed your 1-hour. That stinks. But - you still look awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks, the three hour did stink!!
Deletea few of my teacher friends failed the first time but were fine the second...so I will send you good vibes...I hated the test because it gave me a headache and I was soooo thirsty!
