Question

Okay so I failed my 1 hour test, did the 3 hour and failed the 1st and 2nd hour but passed the 3rd hour. I still have glucose in my urine. I’m asking my new ob tomorrow but has anyone experienced this?

Answer

If you fail two bloods from the the hour test you have GD. Sorry. It sucks, but it's better you know and can now manage it. Your OB will likely send you to diabetic education for GD. It seems really overwhelming at first, but you can manage this. It will just mean your OB will monitor and manage your pregnancy a bit more. You'll likely need to change your diet and check your blood sugar 4 times a day. I was lucky and could manage my GD through diet alone. My numbers were so well controlled I was able to go down to 2 bloods per day. I was able to go full term and delivered vaginally.
