Woo Hoo :banana:

 

Well done Meshell!

My ob told me that if I don't hear anything this week that I've passed my glucose test as well. So far it's Thursday & I've heard nothing from his office yet. So no news is good news right?
I had my test on Friday last week.

Yes, believe & you shall receive..

God bless
Denise

 

:a_smil09: Glad you passed the one hour!! I didn't and had to do the three hour...that wasn't much fun, but thankfully I passed that one. It's such a relief to have that out of the way, huh?

 

:yahoo: Yay! :yahoo:

 

That is great news! Congratulations!

Denise, I would probably call. I thought no news was good news in regards to my AFP test and just randomly asked at my next appointment to confirm. My OB looked at the chart and there were no results, my blood had been lost. I redid the test and glad I did because the levels were abnormal which is subsequently when I found out I was having twins! I would have known weeks before hand if I hadn't thought no news was good news!

 

CONGRATS TO YOU!! THIS IS MY 3 PREGNANCY AND THE 3RD TIME I WILL BE TAKING THE 3 HOUR!!! OHHHH HOW IT STINKS! I WASN'T EVEN CLOSE THIS TIME...159!! SOMEHOW I ALWAYS PASS THE 3 HOUR :icon_eek:

 

Lucky you! I wish I knew how to pass, maybe lay off all the candy? But the candy is soo good!

Thats really great meshell! Your doing awesome!

Juli

Denise- you've probably passed - my doc called me w/i a day to let me know that i passed - so they probably would have called you by now.

 

Hi again!

So far dispite all the discomforts of this pregnancy, I've passed & done well on ALL of my testings! Thank you Lord!
My bp is always good, no probs with my urine..and they are happy with my weight gain! Incredible really!

So, I souldnt complain much about my aches & pains hey??

i'll tell you i don't know how to pass myself but i can pass on a few tips of the things that i do and don't do when i have had to take this test.

firstly: i have never been a really big candy eater! but i also have a high matabolism even for being big boned. my body build is medium build and all of what i think is fat is really muscle. i have never been huge accept during pregnancy and usually have always had all baby. so the suger from any kind of candy was always sucked up somewhere from me moving. i normally don't gain weight when not pregnant so i am usually at a steady weight all the time. usually around 160 or so pounds.

secondly: when i know that i am doing a glucose test i never eat candy or drink soda or anything sugary at all the day before the test! i have always stuck to ONLY WATER the day before! and i can tell you that my eating habits are not the best so you all would probly get upset when i tell you that since i found out that i was pregnant this time around i have only had 3 REAL HOME COOKED MEALS! i have had take out food since day 1 because i barely eat while pregnant. and by the grace and the miracle of God all 3 of my children still weighed above 7lbs 10 1/2 ozs. i can't tell you anything to eat except stay off the sugar foods until after the test. i promise that you will not die without having a candy bar for 1 day! eating the fast food everyday is still something that i know is not health for me but i know that if i was to cook or get a snack that it would not be healthy and full of the calories that i would need daily for my girls. it still surprises me that i have only gained 25 pounds, but that is reall all baby and fluids, because i am all belly again this time.

Thirdly, I FASTED! i did not eat or drink ANYTHING but 1 swig of water from 12am until the test itself. once you have that sugar drink in you, you won't want to eat anything for about an hour anyway (USUALLY). the newer drinks are better than the older ones because they aren't chalky tasting and for me they didn't make me want to throw up when i moved around that whole day of the test. the kind that i had this time was the fruit punch flavor and i downed it in 1 minute. it took me 5 minutes to fight with the chalky stuff and try not to throw it up before i had my blood drawn.


so this i guess is how i passed my glucose test.
this is not a manual--lol-- and i am not trying to influence others to do exactly the same thing--i am just lettingyou all know what worked for me.
Lots of love!
