This happened to me currently have 10 minutes left of my 3 hour so we will see...
I just took the 3 hour last week. I had to fast from midnight until the time of the test. I was scheduled at 8:15 that morning. The first hour I was so jittery and almost vomited. But I passed so that’s done.
Walking in to take the three hour now. It's sort of like taking an expanded 1 hr test. You do have to fast so it's a good idea to start it first thing so your fasting is overnight. I'm not expecting to pass since I had gd with my first pregnancy but it is pretty common to pass the 3 hr even after failing the 1 hr. There are really good support groups out there if you are diagnosed. I'm in a gd group here on peanut and one on Facebook. There's often a little bit of a gap between diagnosis and getting instructions from your Dr/ob. So the support groups can be really helpful in that one between
Meant to do it today but oops. So I'll go in on Thursday
I did not pass my 1 hour, but I did pass my 3 hour. Good luck mama!
Any tips for the 3 hour?
if you live further from your ob's office bring a snack for after. My 30 min trip home was awful because of how hungry I was.
@Miriam Can you point me in the direction of the group on here? I failed my 3 hour this morning.
That happened to me with my first and then again when I tested early this pregnancy, 1st trimester. I had to tests again at 24 weeks and wound up failing. But failing the 1hr and passing the 3hr is very common. You’ve got this mama!
I go tomorrow morning for the 3 hour.

(my 1hr and 2he numbers were great from my 3hr but my fasting was high. Trying to figure out if that was thrown off by the toddler waking up a gazillion times last night or accidentally eating crumbs while trying to get him to eat this morning)
Yep, I’m waiting for scheduling to call so I can do my 3 hour test this week 😕
Just did my 3 hour today. I recommend bringing water and sipping on it because that’s the only thing that kept the nausea at bay for me since it helps to dilute how sugary everything was

@Aja for me if we drank any water during it was an automatic fail
I Failed the 1 hour test (my number was 166), and then I passed the 3 hour test. 🩵
@Diana really?! I was told to sip on water to try and not get sick lol either way I failed the 3 hour
@Aja I was told absolutely nothing till after and I had to fast for 8hrs prior minimum
I’m in the exact same boat as you and still waiting on my appointment. Following this to see what others say!
