3 hr glucose test

i will probably not do that test.  too many false positives and that stuff they make you drink is garbage... i won't put that crap in my body!

Our clinic does not offer the 1 or 3 hour tests anymore.  They only do the 2 hour glucose tolerance test. So I had to do that this time. :( I am upset they took the 1 hour test away. I've never failed and didn't fail this time either.

They should do a two hr. The one hour is bs. I didn't have to do a 3hr with dd bc my 1hr was high. Very high. I didn't do one with this pregnancy either bc dr just told me it's inevitable. It was.

I also had no issue first pregnancy and 'failed' the first test during the second.  The three hour test sucked.  You are borderline so odds are you are fine, they intentionally set the threshholds low...but, you also don't want to get into a situation where you do have gestational diabetes and didn't know.  It is a pain in the ass but although I pass on several other tests I thought were worthless I did this one.  Your baby, your body.  Talk to your doc about pros and cons of passing it up and do what you feel is right for you.

 I failed my 1 hr test and had to go take the 3 hr test and I passed that so I dont have to go do it again. The 3 hr test sucks I was dizzy and got sick after going through that one. Good luck!

I failed my 1 hr with my 2nd dd and did the 3hr. It sucked. It was no fun and made me really sick.

I thought the sugar testing was mandatory (not sure why I thought that but just assumed) but def something I will loook into. Thank you! And yes the crap u gotta drink is nasty, wasnt a fan of it either time I had to do it.

Ive never heard of a 2 hr test but that would be pretty decent to do (since i was there 2 hours anyways). I think the 1 hr doesnt give enough time and the 3 hr is going to be annoying :(

 I did. And i heard its common to fail the first one and pass the second. I was one of those woman. I drank soda too close to midnight with threw off my 1 hr test and caused me to fail. But i passed the 3 hr like it was nothing.  Mine was actually 144 as well. The only thing the 3 hr test did to me was make me super tired. I slept in the doctors office between blood draws lol

Hey thanks! :) I know they set the limits low and thats usually why alot are false positives but it just bugs me :( I dread the 3 hr one due to more worrying now on my part. Im fairly sure Im fine too but you know how ur mind can be ur own worst enemy. With my 1st I was like at 100 and surprised the nurse. Im gonna do the 3 hr one only cuz like u said Id rather know if there was a problem than not and cause more harm and I also think bc with my 1st my liver started acting up at 37 weeks but went back to normal after I gave birth so I guess I might as well get all the info I can. Thanks for the support! :)
