I failed I got a call from the doctor's office today and the nurse told me I had failed the glucose test from last week. I have to go in tomorrow morning and take the 3 hour glucose test and am a little stressed. I have not gained but 23 lbs and am over 7 months pregnant. I am not overdoing sweets and drink LOTS of water. Anyone have experience with failing your first test? I am hoping tomorrow's results are better. Also, she was concerned I am still registering low iron levels even though I am taking prenatal AND iron supplement (BiFera) everyday. They are increasing my iron to 2 pills a day and rechecking tomorrow just to double check. Prayers and good thoughts for better results would be greatly aprreciated. |
Sending prayers and good thoughts for positive results. Take a deep breath and try to relax....results will be much better tomorrow! :) |
I'm so sorry that I don't have any experience with that and so I don't have advice to offer :( but I will be keeping you in my thoughts and hopefully tomorrow you will receive better news. Please do not view this as a failure. You have not failed. Whatever the results tomorrow, you can always improve on them if they need improving. Hugs |
Sending prayers your way Amanda. I never experienced any problems with gestational diabetes with my pregnancies. I had toxemia with my first though. I hope tomorrows test will give better results. ps...love you new avatar...GO VOLS!!! |
Sending prayers for healthy test results but even more important a healthy mom and baby. Best wishes. |
I have experienced a bad test result with my second son. However, it was not on the glucose test. It was from the blood test for screening for defects. Let me just say, they do make mistakes. So don't stress yourself out about it. They told me that my son had a high chance of having Edwards Syndrome (I think that was what it was called). But he is 100% pure healthy mean boy! :D No problems at all! So, think positive and we will all pray that your second round comes back with a clean bill of health! :) |
I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for tomorrow, Amanda. Relax and stress less.:) |
I failed the initial glucose screens with my youngest two, but did fine on the three-hour ones. It's not an unusual occurrence, so please try not to get too stressed about it. If you do have troubles with the repeat, they will send you for some counseling and do some frequent testing to make sure your sugars stay in control. The vast majority of the time women with gestational diabetes can control their sugars with their diet and the babies do just fine. |
Good vibes and prayers going out for your test. |
Thank you all for your words of encouragement. |

You are in my thoughts and prayers Amanda. |
Sending positive thoughts for your test tomorrow! Please try not to worry and stay as relaxed as possible......you do not want to have your blood pressure high when you go in tomorrow. |
Praying everything will be normal with your test tomorrow. |
I had no problems with my first child! My second I failed the glucose, and passed the 3 hr test...later was told it was probably the bowl of cereal I ate before taking the first test:p |
