I'm sure I failed....
I am pretty sure I failed my 3 hour glucose test. 
My blood sugar must also have been really low by the 3rd hour, I was lightheaded, had palpitations, sweating and shaking. I had to run out and drink a soda on my way to the car or I wouldn't have been able to get home!
Oh well, who gets up and drinks the equivalent of 2 cans of soda first thing in the AM anyway? That's more sugar than I usually have in a week!

Re: I'm sure I failed....
I failed too- I feel for you. But don't worry, it's not the end of the world. The diet I am on is the healthiest that I've ever eaten, so I know my baby is getting lots of nutrition.

Re: I'm sure I failed....
Don't be so sure because I felt the same way and they told me it was normal to feel that way. They told me to expect to "crash" towards the end of the three hours. And I passed.

When do you take your glucose test? I haven't had mine yet.

Re: I'm sure I failed....
I took mine today too! Most boring 3 hours of my life, I have no idea if I passed, I thought I passed the 1st one, so little do I know. How long does it take to get your results?

Re: I'm sure I failed....
2-3 days for results. good luck! i think the crash is actually ok- i believe the problem is if your glucose is too high (not processing it quickly enough) after the three hours. mine was sky high and should have been back down to normal by hour 3.

Re: I'm sure I failed....
You usually take it between 24 - 28 weeks unless you have risk factors.
I had some strange bloodwork and a family history so I got checked early...

Re: I'm sure I failed....
I didn't know it was coming b/c no one warned me so I got really scared. It probably made it worse!
Maybe there's hope for me yet!
PS - you're still here?
