I failed my 3 hour glucose tolerance test So I guess that means I have gestational diabetes (GD), never failed the test with my other 3 kids. I feel so horrible, depressed, and worried over this. I was told it could result in a big baby, so increased risk of a C-section, or the baby could be born with low blood sugar levels, or he could even die in utero at 36-38 weeks. I know I am overweight, but I haven't gained any weight with this pregnancy, I actually weigh 10 pounds less than my pre-pregnancy weight, baby is gaining weight though, at my ultrasound at 21 weeks he was a little over 1 pound which the tech said is in the 60th percentile. I get another U/S September 9th to check on his growth. Tomorrow I have to set up an appointment with a GD dietician and get a meter and strips, have I mentioned I hate needles! :shock:
Anyone here have experience with diabetes that can give me some tips/advise? Also if its not too much to ask please keep, the baby and me in your thoughts and prayers.
