glucose test

Im 30 weeks pregnant and I failed my first 1hr glucose test, my levels were just a tad high than where they should be. So now im worried about the 3hr glucose I have to take but most women ive talked to said they passed their 3hr test. Is anyone going through something similar?

Just start eating more greens and lots of water,  I failed my first and a week prior I ate salads like there was no tomorrow . Lol, but I passed the 3hr ... so I'm sticking to having greens more often. . Make sure to take a snack for right after. I almost fainted thinking I could get home without eating,  no fun. ..

I have failed the 1hr and passed the 3hr with both of my previous pregnancies. I take my next 1hr in 2wks and I am hoping I pass it and can skip the 3hr!

I just had my 3rd test yesterday because my 1 hr was a few pts higher than what it should be  (10 pts higher) and I passed the 3hr. The fasting you have to do before hand is what really got to me though (no food or drink 12 hrs before and nothing during the test with the exception of water) First thing I did after the test was get a Footlong sandwich from Subway lol! Wish you the best of luck and I'm almost positive you'll pass the 3hr test ;)
