I had it in my first pregnancy. Wasn’t fun.
@Kara thank you!!!! I had to do the one hour test due to my weight
@Sara same here, thankfully I passed it but they said I’ll have to do it again at 20 weeks and then if I pass that I’ll have to do it again at 28 weeks. I did it a total of 5 times in my first pregnancy and passed everyone of them thankfully.
@Kara lucky!
Please know that GD has nothing to do with you and everything to do with your placenta!! Your placenta produces a hormone called HPL and it increases insulin resistance. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!!! I felt like such a failure when I was diagnosed with my son but it’s manageable, I was able to manage without medications. Finger sticks are annoying but it’ll all be worth it❤️
@Katherine thank you so much for the advice 🙏🙏
Might be better to join this group as most people due in July haven’t done the test yet to know. https://www.peanut-app.io/share/mp3ZKIfqnQb
