So I am 29 weeks tomorrow and a few weeks ago I took the sugar test..
I failed the 1hr test, they said it was slighly elevated.

I went to do the three hour one, I couldnt keep it down and threw up the gross yucky orange stuff....

so 2 days ago, I went and finally got the 3 hour test done, without getting sick

The doctor called my husbands cell phone looking for me, he told her to call the house,,, I havent recieved that phone call ..that was before 230.. so I called the dr office and said i wanted to speak to the dr etc... and said I would get a call back...so the office closes in 10 mins.. and i still havent gotten a call back...

I am assuming the reason why they are calling me back is cause, I do have gestional diabetes.

Im not really shocked about it really believe it or not.. but i don't want it ....UGH!

I am just wanting the dr to call and tell me i have it to have it overwith and get the other appointments I am going to have to make done and over with!..


actusually, as I am typing this, the doctor jsut called. URGH. NOT GOOD NEWS.

I have gestional diabetes. I have my numbers

for the fasting, they want 5.8 or less.. mine was 7.5
1 hr check.. they want 10.5... mine was 14
2 hr check .. they want 9.2 or less.. mine was 13.5
3 hr check... they want 8 or less.. mine was 11.4



so LOVELY! ugh.. I said to her that my twin sister has gd on both her pregnancies, and she asked me if she go full term,etc. and i said well her first one, she went into premature labour at 32 weeks.. so now, ya they are fast tracking me to diabetic clinic and keeping a eye on me more.. .. Now to definity watch everything I eat!!

Oh Jennifer I'm so sorry. My mother, few relatives and sister in law (who just gave birth on Dec 28 and she was full term) have GD.

High Risk pregnancy board just set up a GD subforum... check it out

Hang in there

Im sorry! At least they are going to keep a good eye on you and baby AND you'll probably be able to see baby more on the u/s? I guess that's one positive way to look at it, but I know it still sucks. It doesnt look like they are terrible numbers, just slightly elevated. Ask your sister what her numbers were, if she can remember.

I'm so sorry hun. I know how disappointing it is. I found out a couple weeks ago that I have GD as well. There are a couple of ladies here who have had it and they had some great advice on what to eat to keep the sugars down. If you need anyone to talk to feel free to pm. Keeping my blood sugars down has been difficult, but I know I can do it and you can to. Good luck!

I'm one of those ladies who had GD so please feel free to PM with any questions!! My sister had it too so I learned alot from her. It's totally manageable and you can still go full term (she delivered at 39w4d). I went early (38w3d) but that was for low fluid, not GD related.

It's definitely a bummer but doable. Again, PM if you want any tips on eating, recipes, etc. The foods can kinda get redundant!
