Passed my glucose test this time!

My first pregnancy I failed my glucose test, did the three hour, failed and had gestational diabetes that was managed by diet.

I was really anxious about it again this time even though I knew I could handle it. Truth is in the last year (prior to becoming pregnant) my husband and I have been eating healthier and mostly anti inflammatory. I lost almost 20 pounds prior to becoming pregnant, and although I am about the same weight i was last time, I am so much better otherwise. I hope to keep losing after baby is born.

Anyway I did my one hour test today and I passed! My dr said she wanted Under 130 and I was at 116. I was so happy I cried.

Just wanted to say there is nothing wrong with having GD, I know some super fit and healthy women who had/have it, I just see it as a sign I’ve been doing good by my body this time around!
