gestational diabetes

[lena6238]

So I just failed the one hour glucose test. Now I have to do a three hour test later this week. I'm so scared. Has anyone been through this? How can it affect your baby?

I do have gd. It's not nice at first but to be fair it just makes u eat healthy ive started to lose weight now n my baby is average size they do say it can effect there size but thats more likely if on insulin. They do keep a close eye on u I get scanned every 2 weeks now every week as 35 weeks and think got preeclampsia. With gd they don't like letting u go over due date so will induce between 38-40

I'm 37 weeks today pregnant with my second baby and when i had my one hour glucose test i failed it. I thought i wasnt going to pass my 3hr test but i did and thanks to all the mommies in this forum it made me feel better knowing that there's a high chance of passing ur 3hr glucose test. Good luck and think positive :)
