failed glucose test?

Just got a call this morning saying I failed my test. My glucose was 135. I have to go back this week for the 3 hour test. I'm scared. I don't even know what gestational diabetes is. What if I fail the next test? Will my baby be huge? Help!!...

I found out last week I have gestational diabetes.  I was freaked out. Dont be nervous. Its isnt as bad as the internet can make it sound. You will be put on a meal plan which will just mean you have to watch what you eat. And you will have to check your blood sugar. But dont freak out. It will be ok. There is a chance of you baby being bigger but if you eat healthy and exercise it helps control it. Good luck on your 3 hour test. Dont worry about it bc the stress and anxiety can also raise your blood sugar. Good luck.

its scarrier to think about then to deal with. if your blood sugar comes back high again. they will have you test your blood sugar several times a day and take insulin, also change your diet. baby will be fine. ive had it now 3x and my babies have been 8lbs range. good size. so try not to worry about it, everything will be fine.
