I had gestational diabetes with my last pregnancy and I have the big test tomorrow again! I'm so nervous/excited! I have been testing my sugar levels and they don't seem to be nearly as high as with the last pregnancy. Anyone else have/had gestational diabetes? Did you hate it as much as I did?

I'm taking the 1 hour test on Friday. So not looking forward to it. I hate fasting to begin with, but doing it when pregnant is like torture.
With my first pregnancy I failed the 1 hour and had to do the 3 hour. OMG that was a pain is the a**. Thankfully I passed that one.
I'm hoping I pass the first test this time... cause I really do NOT want to have to do the 3 hour test.0 -

I hate fasting too... but all my doctor said is that nothing can cross my lips after I drink the juice. Do you have to fast for an extended period?0 -

Basically you have to fast for 8 hours before the test. My appointment is at 7:30am, so for me, that's just overnight. But it still sucks not being able to have breakfast until the test is done.0 -
I didn't have to fast. I ate breakfast and lunch and took my test at 2:30. These doctors should get on the same page! Why be miserable if you don't have to be?
But I passed! Thank goodness
No diabetes diet and pricking fingers for 3 months. I would not do well as a diabetic in my "real life." Props to those who handle it with such ease.
Good luck to you ladies! Let me know how it goes!0 -
I failed at only 10 weeks.

I have a family risk so I took the 1 hour test at 13 weeks and it went fine, but I have the 2 hour coming up and I am dreading it. It was so hard to sit still drinking all that sugar (it's so much more than I've had in a single sitting for years now.) I hope I won't feel as sick this time, it was hard not to vomit when I took it before but I've read that they made you come back another day if you vomit.
I don't know for sure how I will do, but I am trying to stay cautiously optimistic. Good luck everyone!0 -
Mine is on the 28th. I also have a family risk so I am scared! Every symptom I have had I think means I will have GD... Guess we'll see. Fingers crossed!0
