Failed glucose test

I failed the 1-hr glucose test with a result of 146. I’m waiting to hear back about when i need to take the 3 hour.

Is it likely I have gestational diabetes? If so, what complications arise from this? Ugh

My doctor told me that it is pretty common to fail the one hour one. I wouldn’t stress too much about it, it sounds like your numbers aren’t that high from the so-called normal range.

If you were to have it, they most likely would just put you on a diet and potentially give you some sort of medication to help regulate your levels.

I failed the 1 hour with a 169😭 had to do the 3 hour and passed it! It’s really common to fail the 1 hour so try not to stress out too much!

Same, failed the 1 hr, passed the 3 hr.
You'll find there can be a lot of false positives in many of the tests they give. Goodlcuk

Same I failed the first with 147. Passed the 3 hour. Very common to fail the first time.

My doctor said between about 135-200 you just need the 3 hour test. Does not mean you have diabetes, just need further testing

I also failed it but I'm sure you will pass the 3 hours like I did !

I had GD with my first. Well barely. But risk is big baby, slightly higher risk of stillbirth (still very low though). There are several other things but I honestly can't remember them

You might not! It is a screening test, not a diagnostic test. You’ll just have to eat a diabetic diet and test your blood sugar multiple times a day if you have it, and they may want to induce labor right when you reach 39 weeks. Most people don’t need insulin or have any complications, but the most common one is having a big baby

Young mum

Hi guys,

I’m just wondering if there’s any other young parents that are getting further into their pregnancy and like, genuinely just clocking that I’m gonna be responsible for a baby and I don’t know everything their is to know about baby’s I feel like I’m gonna be so useless and accidently be the worst mum in the world 🫣

Does anyone else feel like this? Or felt like this? I’m 19 and genuinely have so much anxiety about this now I’m 20 weeks lol

So annoyed, dog jumped on me :( now I’m anxious

I have a big dog and she NEVER jumps.. today I came home and my mum was with me visiting and my dog must have just got over whelmed and she jumped and ended up scratching my lower back,

with that I’ve bent backwards almost and stretched my lower belly and it didn’t hurt as such just felt like tha shock ligament pain but ofc I haven’t actually bent that far since being pregnant and now I just feel anxious really and just need some reassurance. It only happened about 15 mins ago and I have felt baby a little since

But why is there always something to worry about!😭
