Sorry to hear that! Hope your 3 hour test goes better for you. Did you have to fast for your 1 hour test? I know my doctor told me to fast for the 1 hour test. That’s how I passed with my first baby by fasting and I did fasting this time as well.

I gotta do the 3 hour test tomorrow morning which kind of sucks but why is it a bad thing? I mean I guess waiting for 3 hours and keep doing blood work is bad but I don’t understand why no one likes it? Sorry just curious and a new mom so just wanted to know why it’s a bad thing?

Probably because it means you’re one step closer to the problem :)

The three hour test is the one that’s nasty. Same amount of liquid but double the sugar concentrate. Hopefully you pass

Avatar

yea hopefully I do pass it

the three hour one is grosser. Double the sugar concentrate in the same amount of liquid, and depending on the person some people do NOT react well even if they end up passing. I was practically passing out on the couch waiting for my blood draws and it made me so nauseous. It’s not that bad, like the worse thing ever but a lot of people do not feel good for the rest of the day afterwards. It’s not fun.

Good luck❤️

Update- I passed my glucose test with a 124 the highest I could have on the scale was 139. No 3 hour test for me thank God 😁! So glad I stuck with my gut with fasting instead of eating a high protein breakfast like what one of the nurses told me.

congratulations! I found out I passed as well! What a relief!

Thank you! And I’m happy to hear you passed your test as well.

Winging it

I feel like people out there have so many opinions about what they should and shouldn't be doing with their baby. Tummy time, screen time, floor time, reading, naps. Meanwhile I'm over here like no idea what I'm doing just trying to get through the day!! 👀 Who's with me?

Does failing the 1hr glucose test mean gestational diabetes?

I was told at the lab my levels came up high. I have hypoglycemia and I notice I’m low on sugar levels when I get very sleepy and am rested. After drinking that orange thing, like 10-15min after I felt I was getting sleepy. I thought it was the crash after the loads of sugar from that drink (normal to hypoglycemia) but then they checked ny urine sample and sha said it was high. That they were waiting to run the testing on the blood sample after to be sure of more details they could share later. Does that mean I’m likely to have gestational diabetes? I’m nervous 🥺

Is this normal?

I am 14 w 5d and I still have not gained any weight and have minimal appetite. I am able to have snacks or small meals, so I’m not losing weight, but I am worried that I haven’t started gaining weight yet. I have so much anxiety all the time about what if my baby isn’t developing right or isn’t alright and I just don’t know it yet?

Blood pressure

Hi any mommas that have dealt with high BP during pregnancy? What did you do to help it? Did you have any symptoms? I personally don’t unless I’m that anxious and that’s why it keeps reading high but I do try to be as relaxed as possible I was on high BP medication when I was pregnant but I had to stop bc it wasn’t safe for baby. Please help a mama out I’m trying to see if any food or maybe work outs help me. Maintain also be stress free
