I know I haven't said a lot about my pregnancy. That's because for the most part it's been pretty uneventful. Little to no morning sickness. I have felt the baby move since early on. Other than craving chocolate I haven't had a lot of issues.
But, this pregnancy was the total opposite of Blake's. If I hadn't seen 2 ultrasounds that told me I was having a boy I'd swear I was having a girl!
Anyway, I got a phone call today I never expected to get! I did not pass my 1 hour glucose test on Monday. So now I have to do a 3 hour test to have my levels even more closely monitored. I needed to score below 140 and I scored 149 so I'm so hoping it was a fluke thing.
On Friday I'm going to have my 3 hour test so maybe by next week I'll know if I have gestational diabetes or not. Just goes to show you can't assume anything!
I had gestational diabetes with 2 of my 3 pregnancies. Wait and take your 3 hour test. Considering you are so close to the line, you may just pass. I would think by the time your 3 hours pass, your sugar levels will be back down. You have to "fail" 2 of the 3 levels to be considered diabetic. Try not to worry. It's manageable, if that's the case...... I'll be thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteOh. I do hope it goes well for you. Sounds like Misty has some expertise in this area.
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking of you.
I'm sorry! That test is no fun....hope this time your umber is lower!
ReplyDeleteUgh...good luck with that:)
ReplyDeleteAhhh yes! I had gestational diabetes with Sonia NOT fun but manageable. Don't worry, just eat lots of protein and high protein veggies!! NO pasta and NO potatoes!
ReplyDeleteI had that happen to me with my first... but the 3 hour one (which is such a hoot I can't even explain... I treated myself to an Egg McMuffin at Rotten Ronnie's after)was normal. I think I had just eaten too close to the one hour test so that messed it up. Since you were not that much over I am thinking that's all it was with you too.
ReplyDeleteI'll be hoping so because it would just be more fun!
i'll be thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteI HATED HATED HATED that 3 hour glucose tolerance test. I had to do it, too because I had a borderline result after the 1 hour. But it was fine . . . it just sucked to have to wait around the stupid lab for 3 hours because I guess they didn't trust me that I wasn't going to "cheat"? IT SUCKS!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the lame comment I'm about to leave:
ReplyDeleteIf you tried to add me to Google Blog Reader yesterday, there was a problem with it... my site should link up to your reader now!
Monday, huh? I hope all goes OK. Please keep us updated!!!
ReplyDeleteUneventful is good...but hopefully, like you said, the high glucose test was just a fluke! And yeah, it just shows that you can't tell if you're having a girl or boy by how the pregnancy is going...because mine is pretty much exactly the same as last time (we had a boy) and this time they ultrasound said GIRL! Weird. Good luck with the test though...
ReplyDeletei was not a big fan of the 3hr test let alone the gestational diabetes that came to follow!! best of luck to u. if u wind of with the dreaded G.D. let me know and I'll give u some tips. the good thing about it..only gained 9 lb thru my pregnacy cause i then lost some weight!!
ReplyDeleteOhhh! I'll be praying for you tomorrow. What does the 3 hour test involve?
