Whoopie! Lol can you tell I'm not very thrilled. I was half afraid this would happen... I have a life long fear of getting diabetes - when I was a kid my dad would sit there and watch me shovel spoonfulls of sugar onto my cheerios every morning and tell me that some day I was going to end up with diabetes someday if I didn't watch it. And I haven't exactly been carefull about not eating too much sugar in the last few months - I guess all that ice cream is coming back to haunt me.
My doctor doesn't think that I'll end up having it since I'm barely over the limit - she said some clinics cut off limit is 140 so then I would have been under. But I'm kind of nervous about it anyways so I could really use some P&PT's next thursday!

MomToMany replied: So sorry it came back like that. I hate those tests! Good luck, and I hope your next test is normal.

chloe&tysmommy replied: awww that sucks!!! I hated drinking that stuff and waiting.....I hope it goes well for you this time!!! Make sure to take a book or something with you so you don't get too board.

A&A'smommy replied: UGH that sucks!!!! I hope you don't have it and I'm sending LOTS and LOTS of P&PT'S

Hillbilly Housewife replied: lol

I actually don't mind the orange stuff.... lol


But that sucks.... I hope it's just temporary....

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
Lol yeah it wasn't all that bad - mine was fruit punch though. It was kinda good at first but it got pretty sickening by the time I was down to the end of the botle. And I think I remember my dr. saying that you have to drink a bigger bottle of it for the 3 hour test than for the 1 hour one. I guess we'll see...

mummy2girls replied: dont worry yet... My friend failed the first test but passed the 3 hour one... so dont worry yet....

iluvmysweetiepies replied: Sorry about that!! I hope everythings goes well next week! P&PT's coming your way

Mandasmomma replied: I'm surprised they are sending you back for the 3 hour...it really isn't high. (I'm a nurse...)

Anyway - just so you know, watch what you eat the night before - no ICECREAM!! That can be what throws you off.

Good luck!!

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
Thanks that's good to know.. I have no idea what *normal* is.
I'll be very good about what I eat wednesday night, believe me! I do NOT want this one to be high!

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
The test today wasn't so bad because they let me drink the stuff at home, so I just went in and they poked my finger and then it was done. I don't know what I'm going to do for 3 hours there. I'll bring a book but still.

coasterqueen replied: Bummer Sara! Positive thoughts coming your way. I bet you will pass the other one with flying colors.

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: my #'s were about where your are, then passed th 3 hour The 3 hour drink was much better, you have to drink it pretty fast but it tasted like sprite so not nearly as bad as the orange stuff. I had a book and brought my lap top so I kept busy (and it was a great break from the 1 year old at home )
Good Luck

rocknroll mom replied: Hi Sara!! Sorry for the late reply...have been away for a few days. I hope all goes well Thursday for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I had my test last Mon. & I am anemic, so now I am on an iron supplement & a stool softener (woo-hoo)

My sis-in-law had to go back for the 3 hr test but it turned out fine. Don't worry

Thanks.
What was your hemoglobin? My dr. said mine was kind of low, but she just told me to make sure I'm remembering to take my prenatal so I must not be quite anemic. I think mine was 10 or 11 point something. I was just wondering.
