Doesn't sound too great. But, I know it's a sugar test.... What exactly does this mean for you?

Do they think u have gestational diabetes? I had that it sucks but my whole family had diabetes so its pre-destined I think!!

If I fail the long test it means I have gestational diabetes.

How it affects the mother:
increased risk of high blood pressure
increased risk of gd in future pregnancies
increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life

how it affects the baby:
makes the baby larger
possible overweight after birth
risk of diabetes later in life
low blood calcium levels at birth
jaundice

treatment:
controlled diet
exercise
monitor glucose levels
monitor fetal growth
regular medical checkups
possible insulin

Aww! I'm sorry sweety! I'll pray that everything goes well and you dont have gestational diabetes. Good luck!!

Not to freak you out but maybe thats why ur getting soo big! Cute big!

Damn! I hope not! Thanks michelle, I really hope I pass the one tomorrow!!

Did you accidently eat some sugar or carbs or anything? My doc told me no sugar, low carbs, for all day before the appointment. I hope everything turns out ok!

They didn't tell me to be careful about what I ate the day before, but here's what I had:

hi-protein cereal with milk for breakfast
lo-fat balogne and lo-fat cheese on white for lunch
mexican for supper.

The nurse asked me what I ate, and didn't say that any of that could have made a difference... I sure hope it did though!

Well I hope the test comes back okay! Make sure u let us know right after about whats goin on!

Lol I should have used better words, I didnt mean the day before the appointment, I meant the day of the appointment, all day before you go in. If you ate something with sugar, or anything with lots of carbs then thats probably why it came back high. My doc told me I should eat an egg for breakfast before I came in otherwise if it was something with carbs or sugar it would come back wrong. I think the only thing he said I could drink before was water also... But im dont remember, it was awhile ago.

I'm sorry to hear that erin I really hope your test comes out okay. I really don't want you or your baby to have any problems. I really wish you luck.

Erin as cautious as you are about tru and her health i'm sure you are fine you probably did just eat something high in sugar, but good luck anyway.
