yep i failed my 1 hr, dont remember numbers, and passed my 3 hour. i remember lots of ladies that were on the expecting board when i was that went through the same thing. its pretty common!!

 

I don't know the exact number, just know i failed by ONE stinkin point! I was soooo happy to pass the 2nd. Just bring stuff to keep you busy for the 3 hrs- it really wasn't as bad as I had expected. I brought my Mom & some magazines and we ended up chatting the whole time & it went quick. Make sure you bring something with you to eat right after. I was barely out the door before I was eating a Power Bar. :lol: Good luck!!

 

I failed my 1hr gtt both times (1st pg and this one) and this time I just barely passed the second test (3hr). I felt like it didn't go nearly as bad as last time- last time I was definitely feeling weak the whole way and unsure I'd be able to keep from passing out by the end- but this time I brought my water bottle and just sipped on it the whole time and that seemed to help. I brought some good snacks for directly after. My results were close enough this time that they told me to watch my sugars, sort of eat like I have GD so that it wouldn't develop before the remainder of the pg. I sure miss my chocolate, but I can have the occassional (very occassional) small piece or taste of something- but I figured it's not worth risking my chance of developing it or the girls.

bring something to stay busy and you'll be alright.

you have my sympathy!!

 

I just failed my 1-hour--I think my number was like 140? I haven't made it back in for the 3-hour yet; I'm waiting for a night when the kids can be at Grandma's because I am not going to try to handle two preschoolers on an empty stomach. And so far they've been sick with the flu. Hopefully it won't hurt to wait awhile. I don't eat much sugar anyway.

 

I failed my one hour, but don’t remember the #... but they thought it was my Terbu I took the night before… well for my 3hr I did wonderful on the “fasting” blood work, failed at one hour… but did great for hour 2 and 3 so he said that’s fine with him, he considers that a pass… GL I would bring someone to chat with… it turned out there was another twin mom and we were doing our tests at the same times so we chatted the whole time…

 

I don't know the numbers, but I too failed my one hour glucose test, and took the three hour and passed. It wasn't has bad as I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be the longest day of my life, thank God for other pregnant women to talk to in the waiting room, and my magazines

This exactly.

I failed the 1 hour and passed the 3 hour. The 3 hour wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be.

 

I just passed my 3 hour test. I failed my 1 hour, my number was 155. Best thing to do is to drink LOTS of water. Take a bunch of water with you. DO NOT eat anything or drink anything except for water for 12 hours before your first draw. Then drink a lot of water while you wait. I am prediabetic, and was sure when I failed my 1 hour, I was going to have GD. I just found out today that I passed and was in the normal range. The more water you drink, the easier it is to take the blood, too. Good luck... and take a word of advice from me... don't worry until there is something to worry about. If you do have GD, then it's best to find out right away, so you can eat right and do what's best for the twins and yourself!

 

I have my 1hr tomorrow - expecting to fail, to be honest. BARELY passed with my son and I just have a feeling....

GL on your 3 hour!

 

I just had my 1 hour about an hour ago. I won't get the results back until the 11th.
