Thoughts; Gestational diabetes test.
Where I am, the cut off is 139. The nurse called to let me know my test came back at a 142. She said, "we'd like to send you to do the 3 hour test, just to make sure you are not leaning towards having GD".
Would you go do the 3 hour test? Why or why not?

Yep. Just because it’s been advised

I don’t think they would ask for no reason

I would either do the test or plan to live like I had gd since uncontrolled gd can be dangerous for you and baby

I would for sure because if you are indeed then the placenta can start to fail typically at about 38 weeks which could cause stillbirth. That's why most diabetes are induced for this reason.
Def something to keep a eye on. Why not be sure ?? Good thing is if you are that close maybe won't be so hard to control. Wishing you the best.

Yes, that way I know for sure. I'm guessing if you refuse they're going to treat you as if you do have GD. that's not really something to mess around with. They do the testing for a reason. If left untreated it can be dangerous for you and baby.

I was right at the cutoff, and they sent me for it. It sucked, I hated it, but I wouldn't have been able to relax if I hadn't done it.

Yes. You should do the 3 hour. My OB and most others have that same cut-off number. I failed by ONE point at 140 and still had to get the 3 hour. I passed the 3 hour with flying colors but it could have gone down differently, because you just never really know. Anything could have made you fail by just a few points but dont risk it and do the lengthier screening.
