I had my 1 hr glucose test and was about 30 points higher than the cutoff number. With my daughter I was just 8 points over. The Dr also told me the sugars in my urine were going up a little bit each time too. I'll have to do my 3 hr test in a week when I get back to town. Did any of you mama's with gestational diabetes deliver naturally or did you have a csection or have to be induced? I know I still have a chance to pass but I'm trying to prepare myself incase I fail the 3 hour.
I’ve got gestational diabetes for the third time. All five of my babies have been delivered naturally, and only one with induction(not a GD baby). Neither of my GD babies were large, and induction was not discussed because things were progressing the way the doctor was happy with. I also had a baby in between my GD babies; had two three hour tests, but was free from GD.
When I was pregnant with my second baby(no GD), I wasn’t thinking about the 1 hr test, ate a couple of glazed donut holes on the way, and failed the test big time. When I took the 3 hour, I passed with flying colors. Also, sometimes fasting before the 1 hr can cause your number to spike dangerously.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip and all goes well when you get back
@mrschanandlerbong95 Thank you so much! I'm going to try and start watching my sugar and carbs a lot more. When I did my 3 hour last time my 2 and 3 hours dropped a ton. So I'm hoping that it happens with this baby. I'm glad you passed!
@caffeine.fiend Thank you so much! That makes me feel a lot better. Just with the number a lot higher and the sugars going up in the urine made me nervous. I hope everyone a happy and healthy pregnancy!
