When is Gestational Diabetes test normally done?

I was supposed to go have my blood work done for the gestational diabetes test between now and my last appointment. They gave me the lab slip and I just never went. I have an appointment this week and now I’m not sure what to do? Does EVERYONE need this done? I think I am having a completely normal pregnancy. I’m 29 weeks pregnant and this is my 2nd baby.

What all should I expect? I had the one hour one and failed it, so now i have the wonderful three hour test to do. And I can’t eat or drink ANYTHING after 12 tonight.

Also I am having my regular appointment tomorrow to. At 30 weeks what should I expect.

Also last thing, if I do have the gestational diabetes test will they do another ultrasound and everything. I know they told me they will do one around 34-36 weeks ( i believe) but what about if I have gestational diabetes. And if i do have it what will have to do then

Hi, I took the 1 hour gestational diabetes test last night and I see my results online as a 76…I have no idea if this is good or bad? I had to drink some juice, sit at the docs for an hour and then they drew blood. Does anybody know whats the highest # you can get w/o being considered having diabetes?

i have to make an appointment for a gestational diabetes test soon. i am thinking about not making the appointment because i don’t want any sugar in my body. i do not consume any sugar whatsoever. even when i wasn’t pregnant i never had sugar. i hate candy i hate soda i hate all foods that have sugar. so i am wondering is if i have to make the appointment? i am not willing to put sugar in my body against my will.

So I’m 29 weeks and was informed that I failed my first Gestational Diabetes test (the one where you don’t have to fast). My level was 139. Now I have to do the 3 hour test and I was just wondering if there was anyone who failed the first test but passed the second? And what were your levels, if you remember?

Thanks so much!

I failed my 1 hour gestational diabetes test last friday. My level was 146 which isn’t extremely high but high enough they recommended I take the three hour test. I was told that I have to fast the whole morning before the test which concerns me because I become extremely ill when I dont eat. If I eat that morning or drink a caffinated drink will it make me fail the test?

I failed my one hour gestational diabetes test only with a 146 which isn’t that bad but enough that my OBGYN wants me to take the 3 hour test. I was told that the three hour test is a fasting test but the problem is I get really sick if I dont eat when my body says I’m hungry. If I eat before I go in for my test will it make my blood sugar levels come out high? Thank you for your help.

I am 28wks and had a gestational diabetes test today and it came back 140. The nurse said she was looking fr a number under 135. So now I have to go back for a 3 hour test next week. Is 140 really high? Should I be worried? What are the chances that i have gestatonal diabetes?

If I do not pass my first gestational diabetes test what happens? Do they test you a second time (a different way?)?
