It's that time again! I had to have two glucose tests this pregnancy too. Typically, you only have one, which usually occurs around 28 weeks, but when they drew my blood way back when I was only around 8 weeks, my OBGYN noticed my hba1c levels were way too high, so she ordered me the 1 hr glucose test, which I failed of course. Which then required me to take the 3 hour test. Luckily I passed though because being only 8 weeks along, my OBGYN said it wouldn't have been gestational diabetes, but that I could be on the verge of being diabetic.
Anyhow, fast-forward to a little bit before baby's 28 weeks old and it's time for the routine glucose test.
Since I failed the 1 hour before, my OBGYN thought I should go straight to the 3 hour test. And, so here I am. And geez it's the worst. The drink is nasty, you gotta fast 10 hours prior and can't eat/drink anything until after, so I'm also preggo and starving, and then they prick you 4 times to draw blood.
Well, here's to hoping I pass at least!
