::Fasting Question::
I have my 1 hour glucose test in the morning. My daughter weighs 4lbs13oz at 33 weeks and they said she's slightly bigger than normal for my due date and my amniotic fluid is on the higher side (I think it's supposed to be 25cm or under and mine was between 28-32cm that I saw during measurements) so they suspect possible gestational diabetes may be causing it even though my doctor told me I do no fit the profile at all and I never had it in my first 2 pregnancies My question for the mamas and preggos is i stopped all liquid and food at 10pm tonight other than water bc I was never told when to begin fasting by my doctor and I go for my test at 8:30-9am. Is 11 hours of fasting ok? Or should I have done more?

Yes continue to think POSITIVE and you will have an positive outcome. That's basically what I'm doing thinking positive and doing whatever I need in order for my baby and myself to be healthy. I knew I had a chance of having it since I had the@mizzmeganmae HELLP syndrome with my daughter which caused her to be premature. She only weighed 3lbs 0.5oz and I don't want to have to have another c section. I want to experience a vaginal birth and at least know that I was able to do it. Hopefully everything works out for us both. Good luck with everything.
@babydavis915, glad to hear it's working out for you! I only have 7 weeks until my due date so thank god it wouldn't be that long of me managing it and watching what I eat. And I know my doctor would most likely set up an induction date so my risk of c section is lower and my daughter wouldn't reach 9-10lbs because I'm determined for another vaginal birth because I actually enjoy doing it that way forget enjoy I'm one of those weirdos who loves giving birth haha. But I have a very tiny frame (before conceiving I was wearing a size 0 in pants) so a baby bigger than 7-8 lbs would rip me to shreds literally and might cause health issues for me and baby girl. My first 2 children both boys (who are now 8&6) were both born tiny. My first was 5lbs15oz at 39w3d and my 2nd was 5lbs6oz at 39w3d as well and was induced due to low fluid. And they both made me tear and I had to have an episiotomy so get my 1st son out. So I'm so nervous to have a 8-9lb baby this time. It's giving me such anxiety. Jus went baby girl healthy and perfect and me healthy and able to care for all 3 of my children when I get home and not be confined to my bed due to terrible tearing, stitches of worse God forbid. Trying so hard to think POSITIVE! Hopefully thinking that way creates a positive outcome!!
@mizzmeganmae, Yes I have it and I have to manage my sugar everyday. I have to check it 4 times a day and report it to my dietician so they can make sure I don't need insulin shots or the pills. So far I'm doing good I just hate the diet thing. You should be okay think positive and everything will be okay.
@babydavis915, -- did you end up having gestational diabetes then and now are you managing your sugar and testing it daily? I'm so scared and nervous that I have it but it will help end all the fears I have of her being big and too much fluid and make me stop worrying why it's happening because the other reasons are so much worse!
That should be fine bc no matter how early you fast if you have it it will show. I didn't fast for the 1 hour but I fast for the 3 hour which I failed the 2nd and 3rd hour. Good luck
@mizzmeganmae, I meant to tag you at the beginning just notice it tagged you in the middle lol
