Tomorrow is my 27 week appointment, I got to do my glucose test so not looking forward to this! & crossing my fingers it turns out okay! Kind of worried. Anyone else having their test this week?
I'm having my in 2 weeks! I'm dreading it bad! They are checking for diabetes :-S I guess depending on the results you may have to take insulin shots or watch what you eat! Good luck
I get mine next Monday. Its not that bad. Don't eat any sweets or anything super sugary until after its over with because that can tamper with the results. I had it with my daughter (first) in october 2009. Its simple, you just drink the stuff, it tastes like flat and sugary orange pop and its cold. You wait an hour and get your blood taken then they will call you the next day if it was abnormal. If it turns out to be abnormal, which by the way DOESN'T mean you have gestational diabetes, you will get another test, it will take 3 hours and you will get blood drawn several times in the 3 hours. They do this to see if your sugar goes down slower than normal, which happens in a lot of pregnant women. If your results from this come back fine, you have no worries, if they come back elevated you will be reffered to a nutritionist and they will tell you what your food plan will be from there. Be in mind only 3-4% of pregnant women get gestational diabetes, and as I said just because you fail the first test, DOES NOT mean you have gestational diabetes. best of luck!
I got mine last week..the doc never called which means I passed! I ate two cinnamon rolls two hours before lol but all was good! My cousin is three weeks ahead of me she passed but her doc still put her on a no sugar diet bc she gained to much weight too fast so I feel bad for her
I got my first test last week. I failed too so they sent me for the 3 hour test which really sucked. I did that one today and get my results Wednesday. Word of advice, the night before and day of your test do not eat sugar foods or lots of carbs. The morning of, try sticking with just some plain scrambled eggs and water just to hold you over. You really do not want to take the 3 hour test if you could avoid it.....
I just failed my part 2. Of the test the one where they draw your blood every hour for 3 hours. My doc. Wants me to do it one more time to make sure that the steroid shot I got while admitted in the hosp. Didn't screw with my sugar if this one says I failed then I guess I have gestational diabetes not sure what that means for my daughter but I guess we'll find out eventually
I think if you fail you get put on a special diet n baby may be bigger at birth (9-10 lbs) but I'm not sure some women just have bigger babies. My stepdaughter was 9 pounds when she was born
