I failed my one hour glucose test :(

So I have to do the multi-hour one in the next two weeks. Nurse said I just barely "failed" (I was at 145 and they like to see it under 139) so hopefully the next one will be better ...

Good luck next time.

Sucky, I failed too, by one flipping point. The three hour isn't so bad other than the wasted time that could be better spent elsewhere. Good luck, hope you pass!

Oh man, good luck in the 3 hour. I don't take mind until 28 weeks. Not looking forward to it.

How many times do they stick you to take blood?

I want to say I got stuck four times. One at the beginning and then one after each hour.

That sucks. I'm sure you will do fine the second time, I think most people do. I luckily passed the first one by 1 point. I was kind of surprised I passed because my sister had GD for both her pregnancies. Bring a good book

That's only if you don't pass the first one. The first one is just once. I think.

Yep, and just in the finger for the one hour.

The took two tubes at my one hour. Granted they were also checking my iron level ...
