Question about glucose test -- I took my 1 hour last week and fasted for 12 hours just to be sure I passed it. Drank the…

@arielle, cravings got the best of me last night so I'll do it tomorrow hHa. With my first I put on a good 50-60lbs and it took a year to lose it this time I got lucky like my 2nd and I'll end up with 20-25lbs Max and hopefully it melts right off because i have a lot of shorts and tanks for the summer that will not fit like this haha

@mizzmeganmae, ooo yea girl that would not be good! I ate pretty much how I wanted too but I gained a LOT more. But since delivering I've lost 26lbs without doing anything. Still 30lbs over my pre pregnancy weight though lol. But yea gestational diabetes is no joke so I hope the three hour one goes well for you!!

@arielle, yeah I've seen mamas here, on other apps or even Facebook boards that have said to eat light and no carbs before their test. And I didn't have to fast and I thought if I did it would guarantee I would be ok and the reading would be right!! Smh that's probably why I didn't pass pass it and I was just borderline passed. I'm supposed to go tomorrow morning for it but my cravings really kicked in and I ate a cheeseburger and a coca cola from Burger King so I should probably go Friday instead so I def fast the 12 hours I need to! If I fail the 3 hour test in screwed because I hate needles and pricking myself all day for blood will make me miserable! Or God forbid have to do insulin shots that's not going to be possible for me!! And I have only gained 15lbs in 34 weeks and I eat anything I've wanted and never really changed my diet at all, or paid attention to the food just the weight I was gaining and now having a special diet OMG i dont know what I would do!!

@mizzmeganmae, that's weird, maybe there was a reason he told you to fast but I've read that a lot of women make the mistake of not eating before the test and not passing it. Like I said I had a little snack and my levels were good. Good luck on the three hour one!!!

@kateferrera, your son was a peanut like my little ones were, they were 5.15 and 5.6 :)

@arielle, the damn doctor told me I needed to fast for both of them, he made sure I did when he told me my results too, but I've heard other people didn't have too, @kateferrera this is my 3rd baby and the first 2 times I was pregnant I only did the 1 the test and got around the same and just skipped the 3 hr one because like this time I knew I wasn't a diabetic and I'm thinking about doing the same thing again. I'll be 35 weeks on Sunday and she will most likely be here in 2-3 weeks so doing this is like a waste. It's ridiculous he's never had to suffer that's why he doesn't mind making me do this. I betcha the drink is warm and nasty and I betcha I'll throw up chugging 2 bottles of that crap tomorrow too on an empty stomach in 5 minutes!

You're not supposed to fast for the one hour test. Not eating anything can mess up your numbers just like eating too much can or eating the wrong thing. I just had Greek yogurt with raspberries and honey mixed in and passed. You could also do peanut butter on whole wheat toast. The three hour one is the one you fast for I believe

Girl... I failed my 1 hour by like 10-15 points.. I opted out of the 3 hour test because I knew I didn't have Gestational Diabetes, I had my son in Dece#mber and I'm pregnant again. Almost EVERYONE fails the 1 hour test, I don't know why they wouldn't just make it mandatory that you get the 3 hour one.. But if you feel you don't need to get it, then opt out of it! But if it bothers YOU then do it.
