Even if you have GD, it doesn't have to be a horrible or scary thing. I had it with my second baby. I knew from the beginning of the pregnancy that I had it because of how I was feeling. Anyway, I only had to take an oral medication once a day. No big deal. Just continue watching what you eat, keep the carbs and sugar intake low, and get your exercise.
I failed the one hour but passed the 3hr with flying colors, a lot of people do. Try not to over stress yourself hun!

Quoting KAmomma1113:
Try not to worry yourself too much. I know easier said than done but like you said it was only 4 points. It could just be nothing like a fluke and your doctor is just being extra cautious. You will probably come out of the next test just fine with normal results since it was only a tiny bit above normal range. I think you get more leway with the 3 hour test. Try and stay relaxed for your health and your babys. (I know not that easy cuz I go for my sugar test the end of this month and always stress over it) Good luck and let us know how it goes if u dont mind :)

My pregnancies were different like that too. But I knew because I have prediabetes anyway and I could feel my blood sugar getting high after breakfast and got low a lot easier. We started watching my A1C levels and I started charting my blood sugar levels 4 times a day from the beginning.

Thanks. And wow you knew since the beginning? Well the only difference I feel from this pregnancy to my first is EVERYTHING :/ my first pregnancy was nice. No symptoms what so ever. This pregnancy was horrible from the very beginning. I had the whole morning sickness, back pain, headaches, pain in my pelvic, heartburn and I can't remember what else honestly but I don't think these are signs of diabetes.

It's honestly not a huge deal.
I have GD and monitor it with diet only. I don't need any medication.
It's annoying and a pain in the butt sometimes, but it's not horrible.
How did you keep your pregnancy a secret?
