Wish Me luck!

OK ladies, wish me luck, I am sooo nervous. I have my 1 hour GD test tomorrow and I really hope I pass! I just really really don't want to go do the 3 hour test at all. I am just nervous b/c both my grandmothers have/had diabetes and there are other members in my extended family who have it. (my dad also does but it is borderline and b/c of his weight)
I am on the heavier side so it just makes me nervous that I will have it. I make sure that I work out (even if it is 2-3 times a week) b/c I know that helps but I really really hope that I don't have it!
As soon as I have my baby I am going to start working out a lot more and do Weight watchers to lose this weight, I feel like I have really let myself go (before I got pregnant) even though I worked out a lot and was on weight watchers before (still didn't lose anymore then 10 pounds and thats it! My dr. ran tests on my thyroid but that came back normal)
I am really trying not to think about how I look now b/c I am pregnant and love my belly but I just can't believe how much I weigh! Anyways... sorry for rambling. Wish me luck tomorrow!!!

Good Luck..... I have mine on Wednesday (re-scheduled from last week when I was sick)...... I was told to eat a bland (non-sugary breakfast). I'm sure it will go well

Good luck to you and hopefully you pass it!crossing my fingers for you!

You will do fine,but my fingers are crossed just in case. I have my three hour in two weeks (I think). I don't get the option of the one hour becasue I failed it during my first trimester.

I have mine on Feb. 16th. He didn't tell me if I have to fast before it or not. I need to call and find out. I really hope yours goes well! I failed my 1 hour glucose test in the 1st trimester but passed the 3 hour. So, I'm hoping I pass it the first time this time around. The 3 hour was horrible.

Thanks girls! So far everything went well and it definitely wasn't bad as I thought it would be. I will get the results in 2 weeks I guess unless they call me beforehand.
The drink was not as bad as I anticipated! I kept picturing this thick drink and it just tasted like flat, watered down orange soda. So it went down pretty easily

The hour went by quick, with the exception that I had to get my BP taken again b/c it was a little on the higher side but was completely normal when they checked it again. So Good Luck to all of you who are having it in the upcoming weeks!
I am crossing my fingers for you all (and the ones that had it today with me)
I will keep you updated!

they didnt give you your results today? oh well, i'm sure you did fine! that orange stuff they gave me with ds wasnt thick, but after i drank half of it, it felt thick bc it was so sugary LOL it tasted more like sugarr syrup than orange drink after the first 5 oz!
