Gestational diabetes

K • 1st time parents to be, excited and nervous!

Hello all mommies to be, I recently took and failed my first Glucose test and now have to take the 3hr test. At the time I was 24 weeks but measuring as 26 weeks. So I am nervous about failing the second test and having GD. I eat relatively healthy and tried not to have too much sugar in my meals, but I'm worried that if I do have GD that I won't be able to stick to a strict Dr orders diet and will hurt my baby. I wanted to know if anyone else has failed the first test but passed the second round. I will do whatever the Dr tells me for the sake of my baby but I wanted to enjoy myself on my own terms since this is my first and likely last pregnancy since I am 30 yrs old. Thanks for any advice.

Update : I passed the 3 hour test on sat Dec 5th, so best birthday and Christmas present I could have asked for. So if you have to take the test and fail the 1st one done fret you will probably pass the 2nd test. Good luck!
