Failed the 1 Hour
I’m so worried. Last week my Dr. told me at 26 weeks my weight gain had reached the max he wanted me to gain for my entire pregnancy. He just called with my results. I tested at 140 and have to go for the 3 hour now. He said most people will still pass the 3 hour but that my rapid weight gain is a risk factor, in addition to diabetes in my family. Please tell me there is hope. I have such a bad feeling about this.

Re: Failed the 1 Hour
Dont stress! Many people who fail the one hour end up passing the three hour. And if worst case you have gd, it's easily manageable. Its really just a diet change and something the doctors will keep an eye on. Don't worry so much!

Re: Failed the 1 Hour
I failed the one hour with my DD and passed the 3 hour. I gained a total of about 32 lbs with her. Try not to worry. Even if you do fail, they will put you on a special diet, but its only for the remainder of your pegnancy, so you will be fine!!!!

Re: Failed the 1 Hour
I took the 3 hour on Friday, still waiting for my results. But on the bright side, the test wasn't nearly as awful as I thought it would be!

Do you remember what your number was for the 1 hour? My doctor said that it doesn't matter what the number is, but I feel like it has to be some sort of an indicator. He said normal is 130 and I tested at 143.
I gained 30 pounds already. That's why he is concerned. I should have gained that the whole pregnancy.
I feel like I ruined my baby by not eating more carefully. Honestly, I didn't think I was doing so bad. I never checked the scale though so I guess it's my own fault. I just would have figured my Dr. would have said something sooner.

Thank you for the encouragement. I'm just worried that I have harmed my baby and now she will be too big and I will have a tough labor.
Is it too late to fix this you think?

please don't blame yourself! You definitely didn't harm the baby in any way. I'm sure everything will be fine; I gained a lot of weight also and I do understand your worry. But keep your head up!

Re: Failed the 1 Hour
My dr. had me take the 1 hour twice to try to avoid the 3 hour. The first time around I got a 135...barely failed. The second time I got a 145 so it was on to the 3 hour. My family has a history of diabetes as well so I was sure I was going to fail the 3-hour. Well I passed with flying colors. I think the 1 hour is such a waste of time and with the amount of people that fail it, they should just go straight to the 3 hour to avoid unnecessary worry.
Good Luck and youll prob pass it. You only failed by a few points.
Quick question....did u fast prior to the 1 hour?

Yes - nothing to eat or drink (not even water) after midnight. Had the drink at 8:45 the next morning.
I have a history of diabetes too. That coupled with the weight gain is what has me so worried.
