I have a question. And before any of you sanctimommies decide to grow a wild hair and be a smart ass…

is it a 3 hour test or just a one hour test??

It's the 1 hr. When you go back a second time is when they do the 3 hour me lismommy13

I have had gestational diabetes with my 1st and current pregnancy and if you have it they will catch it.. no matter what you eat.. but I can tell you Its probably not the best thing to over load on carbs... like go with proteins before hand for sure. and the night before too.. that glucose drink they give you has sooooo much sugar that if your placenta is causing you to not be able to process sugars properly it will be easy to catch. at 10 lbs gained it sounds like your good to go... but even the most fit people can get gestational diabetes... it's just an unlucky thing that happens with pregnancy unfortunately. good luck!

It's not really a big deal. I had oatmeal and a brownie before and I passed. Prooooobably the brownie was not the wisest choice but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I suggest just eating something light and not sugary like don't eat anything that's got sugar on it (ex:doughnuts,candy,cookies,etc etc) like if ur hungry eat a salad with a nice dressing or a sandwich or whatever lol but try not to eat anything two or three hours before the test @kaygee612

Well then I should be good because the only thing I've been able to keep down lately is like leafy greens and strawberries and almonds. That drink is so gross it makes me want to brush my teeth right after drinking it ughhh. My first pregnancy they were afraid I had GD because my son was so big but he was just a lil fatty. I wish I could gain more but the more I try to eat the more I disappoint myself because I'll gain ounces not pounds. It scares me but I guess baby's okay so no worries there @elismommy13

I always drink orange juice before I go to ultrasounds just to make my daughter crazy lolol @Jaclyn000 and @brudd330 well basically everything has sugar. I don't eat a ton of sweets I don't like the rush or the feeling I get after. I eat a lot of fruit and majority of fruits have a shit ton of sugar already.

I'm 35 weeks and I'm 2 lbs under my pre pregnancy weight... 😮 but my Dr is fine with it... I'm on blood sugar medication as well as a strict diet AND a medication for an under active thyroid. the odds are against me gaining weight... but as long as your Dr doesn't seem to be worried you haven't gained much weight it's perfectly fine!

Lol I was talking junk food wise I know everything has sugar but all that is natural sugar haha I was meaning like don't eat anything with added sugar (sorry for not explaining right ) and hopefully u don't get the Orange glucose drink cuz that shit is just nasty😷😷 but good luck hun @kaygee612. p.s its a good thing ur a healthy eater 👍

At my doctors office they had me do the 1 hour one twice. Once in the 1st trimester and another in the third. Both of them were a surprise.. They never told me ahead of time I was going to be tested and I passed both times, eating and drinking a lot before hand.

really? I thought the orange one was like melted Popsicles lol I've heard the fruit punch is disgusting 😳 yeah I'm trying to steer clear of that cuz my husband wants to lose weight (not happening with ol pregasaurus running around haha) I hope I don't get a nasty flavor I'll be pissed lmfao thank you I just hate getting prodded with needles but oh motherhood how we go through so much @brudd330

Hmm I got to choose when mine was I could have got it next month at that check up or this one and I wanted to get it over with. I'm just gonna go do the damn thing and hope for the best, my son is gonna hate seeing me get blood drawn he always gets teary eyed cuz he thinks they're hurting me and then after he hugs me and tells me to feel better lol @orionsmomma

I got all the info today, my doctor said eat something without sugar. instead of having cereal eat some fruit or something with natural sugars in it. he said you don't need to fast unless it's the 3 hour one

Thank god!!! I love food and my moms in town so she's been trying to feed me all kinds but I was like well idk what I gotta do before my sugar test. Thanks @savvylynn1

you're welcome, plus he said it will go easier to keep down if you have something in your stomach. he told me everything about it cuz I have it my next appointment 😳😳 @kaygee612

I just want it to be over with already. I'm glad I can eat before because I have to snack all day or I'll be nauseous as all hell. Good luck to you, it wasn't bad with my son I just hope it's cold, room temp sugar test is so bad it's like drinking a flat soda left outside for too long lol @savvylynn1

Lol the Orange one to me tasted like a REALLY sugary flat Orange soda lol gotta love pregnancy. and all its glorious tests that come with it haha try being faint with blood while being pregnant lmao the first time they took blood from me I almost passed out 😂😂 I can't stand blood or seeing it lol but it welcome and I hope u pass 😊@kaygee612

My son cries when I get blood drawn. He thinks they're hurting me which it doesn't it's just annoying. He tells the nurse after with biggo tears in his eyes 'next time don't hurt my mommy again! I love her!' And he'll hug me and just weep lol he's such a mommys boy I love it! But thank you I hope so too lol @brudd330

my doctor gave me the drink today to drink it on the way to my appointment and I gotta keep it in the fridge so mine will be, hopefully yours will be too! thank you, good luck to you @kaygee612

My doc said to eat eggs and sausage for breakfast something high in protein. But I ended up eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch instead and it didn't effect anything.
