Has anyone failed the one hour Glucose test then went on to pass the 3 hour one?!?
First, DO NOT eat anything before the test, the results will not be correct… Only 30% of women who fail the one hour will ALSO fail the 3 hour, so you have a 70% chance of passing the 3 hour… that is a good chance!!! I only failed the first by 3 points, they told me I would pass the 3 hour because it was so close, however I did not… I failed at 20 weeks…. It hasn’t been “fun” but there are many other worse things out there… I had to stick my fingers often, and for the last 5 weeks I have had to have insulin shots in the belly at bed time, but they don’t hurt, the needle is super thin! I watch what I eat, but have been lucky that I can really have almost anything within reason! i hope all goes well for you! More then likely you will pass! Oh bring something with you to eat after the test, like a banana or apple or something… there is a lot of sugar and I always felt a little quessy after it!!! Mommy to 5y.o., 3 y.o. twins and baby #4 tomorrow!
Just yesterday I went to have my 3 hour test. I passed with flying colors. I failed the one hour test, it was 193. I know high. But then I did the test yesterday. My blood was 84 before I drank the glucose drink then it skyrocketed to 174, then at the second finger prick it showed at 143 then the last one was 140. My midwife said I was normal and that I don’t have to worry. Yay!
Either way, dont be too worried. I failed both, but they test 4 times for the 3 hour and I only failed 2. That meant I wasn’t too bad and I could control it with diet so I didn’t need to take shots or pills. When the baby came out, then tested her blood and it was a little low … because she suddenly wasn’t getting sugar from me. But all they had to do was give her some sugar water a couple of times. She’s a beautiful healthy 2 month old now. I was so worried and it ended up being nothing at all! Good luck, hun!
