And reeeally nervous. I'm starting to think I had too much sugar today. Any tricks to make this test successful.. I really dont want this. Diabetes is also so common in my family, my grandma and mother both have a form of diabetes. I deffinitely dont want to be next..

    @Janet_2011 did you have bad food addictions while pregnant?

    You can drink water and even eat before the test. They wont tell a pregnant woman not to eat! Lol, just avoid sugar (even in juice etc). You dont wanna fail it and have to do the 3hr test!

    Personally, I'd eat the way you normally would, I wouldn't cut out the sugar or cut back on the carbs. "Pass" the test that way but what happens when you return to your normal eating habits? Best not to "fool" the test, imo. That way, you take care of yourself and baby the best possible way. :) Unless you plan on cutting out the stuff that will make your sugar rise for the rest of your pregnancy... then hey! Go for it. :)
