Failed the 1 hour glucose

[montywho]

Ugh I failed the one hour. My number was 157. I'm dreading the 3 hour and sitting there for 4 hours. I'm dreading the possible news that I failed the 3 hour. I had no issues with my first pregnancy. I'm super bummed right now. I know it's not the end of the world but damn I'm hoping to just enjoy the last few months of my pregnancy and not having to watch what I eat.

bummer.

I just took the 3 hour last week and it was not a big deal. I worked myself up and am such a huge baby but I had no trouble with the drink or blood draws and the time went by surprisingly fast. I played around on my iPad and read. Unfortunately I just failed the 3 hour and that was really unexpected and does suck. Good luck and hope you pass! I feel your pain and disappointment seriously!

I'm sorry! I hope the 3 hour test gives you better results.

As a vote of reassurance, I had no problems with my first pregnancy, failed the one hour and passed the three hour this time around. I hope the same is true for you.

Good luck with the 3 hour. Fingers crossed for good results.

I'm one of the unlucky ones...failed the 1 hour and 2 out of the 4 draws as part of the 3 hour. I follow the diet, get insulin shots 2x/day and monitor blood sugar levels 4x/day. At first I was really upset, but I've accepted it now and it just has to be done for the sake of me and my baby. Just know it's not the end of the world if you have it. Let me know if you have questions.

I had to take the 3 hour my last pregnancy (#3) despite never having failed the 1 hr prior. It was really boring sitting and I passed it with flying colors, so I was kind of angry that I had to go through all that but it's definitely a necessary evil. You'll do great!

Add me to this club, I just failed my one hour, my number was 149. But apparently my practice uses 130 as their benchmark instead of 140. Really annoyed because I'm so busy right now, finding a 3 hour window to sit and do nothing is really difficult. I'm going in next Friday even though my MIL will be visiting, which kind of sucks.
