GD test debate: breakfast or not?

Caitlin

Hi ladies. This is my 2nd pregnancy. With my first, I failed the 1 hour and passed the 3 hour gestational diabetes test. That time, I didn't eat breakfast and felt awful during the test. This time, my OB said it was fine to have a high protein low sugar breakfast like eggs. I think I'll give it a try and hope to avoid the 3 hour test. Anyone else have experience with this?

**Update: had 2 eggs for breakfast and passed. Felt less sick, too. Win-win.
