XP from FB - failed 1 hour test

So I failed the one hour.  And almost threw up on the way to the OB, and I definitely ugly cried when I was told.  And I'm still upset and crying off and on.  I was told I have to do the 3 hour on Thursday, and I begged if there was ANY other way to do it.  Was told no, scheduled the appt, walked the to car, started hyperventilating, and threw up.  Ugh.

The OB I saw today is not my regular OB, and she's a bitch.  I saw her once before and hated her then, and I hate her now.  She has NO bedside manner.  (I'm getting upset even WRITING about this now.)  I tried to ask her about some questions I have and she blew me off.  Not ok. 

My draw was 155.  Not even close.  I don't feel good about this.  And this is a bratty whine and SUCH a FWP, but we're going away to Cancun on Friday.  If I fail the 3 hour, call the vacation ruined.

  • *the biggest hug ever given on the internet* I am so sorry, I know this can't not be easy between the holidays, stress in general, and vacation coming up. I will be saying lots of prayers and thinking good thoughts for your next appointment. I hope your regular OB can be there instead of the evil one.

  • I know it sucks but the 3 hour really is nbd. I had to it and my first draw was low. I passed the second. Just try not to see that dr anymore and relax.
    No matter what the results, don't let it ruin your vacation. GD is not the end of the world. ((Hugs))

  • I am sorry you are so upset. :-(

    My ob doesn't do the 1 hour because so many people fail. So hopefully you will still pass the 3 hour.

    The only other option to not taking the test is to act as if you have gestational diabetes GD. So that means the GD diet and testing blood sugars about 5 times a day. If it were me, I would take the test.

    Being dx with GD is rough. I was very upset for about two weeks. But the good news is that you absolutely can still have a healthy baby and mom if you follow the doctors orders and keep your blood sugar under control.

    Good luck! Hopefully you will pass and not have to worr about it.

  • The three hour is not that bad! Bring a book/knitting/ipad and use it as an excuse to relax and do absolutely nothing.  I never did the 1hr, I was sent right to the three hour and while it is a long wait, that was one of the more pleasant experiences during pregnancy compared to what ended up coming.

    I can understand being upset and worried about failing the 1hr, but take a deep breath and try to remember its for your health and the health of baby that your doctor needs you to retest.

    And no matter what, enjoy the beach in Cancun and the fresh salsa and guac next week!

  • sending good vibes that you pass the 3 hour!  
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • So sorry you're having a rough time with this. Try not to stress and like a pp said, just bring something to the appt to keep you occupied. When I took the 1 hr, the nurse was educating me and said so many people fail the 1 hr and pass the 3 hr- so hoping everythig will turn out fine for you!

  • Thanks everyone.  I'm less upset about failing and more upset about the way I was treated.  And the thought of that drink again is physically making me ill.  I have a call into my OB to talk about it, because there HAS to be some alternative way to take this test.

  • @saisongbird there is no other way. Trust me I understand how gross the drink is but it's either that or they have to treat you as if you have gd. It gave me a splitting headache but it was worth it to know. Good luck!

  • @greenbeanqueen - there are studies out there of other things you can drink or eat, and one of my closest friends is a certified midwife who gave me other options.  I want to discuss them with my doctor.  I threw up the drink and shook for an hour.
