1st appt today and ha to take a glucose test

Karen
I just had my 1st appt and I'm 8weeks 3 days today. And I put on a lot of weight due to family stress and I am 202 lbs. so the nurse told me I had to take a 1 hr glucose test bc of my weight. Has this happened to anyone else?? I was completely taken back by it this so soon in the pregnancy. Any feed back would be helpful . Thanks
