Would you decline

I passed my one hour glucose test but my Dr wants me to do the 3 hour anyway because of my weight and the fact that both my previous babies were almost 9 lbs. I don't feel like I should waste 3 hours of my day when I know everything is fine. What would you do?

Ok so I found out the reason. I'm 26 weeks now, and I had my one hour early around 16 weeks so because of my history he would normally do another one hour but figured might as well do the three which is more thorough anyway just to be cautious. While it will be 3-4 hours out my day, as most of you said, better to be safe than sorry.

You passed the one hour. That doesn't make any sense.

I declined the 3hr. I technically passed the 1 hr but I was on the very high end of passing. I have a history of GD in my previous 2 pregnancies so I opted to go straight to the diabetes center and get the refresher and test my blood sugars.

I would do it just because I worry! I would rather be safe then sorry.

My question would be why did your doctor have you take the 1 hour test if he/she was going to have you take the 3 hour test regardless? I would likely decline since that doesn't seem thought out very well.

I can't imagine if you passed the one hour that you would fail the free hour, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
