Yup! I failed the 1 hour by a fair bit (got a 151) and passed 3 hour with flying colors. My ob also failed the 1 he and passed the 3 hr with her 3 pregnancies. It's very common!

I too failed the 1 hour and passed the 3 hour

I failed the 1 hour with 130, at my office they consider failing 130 and above!! I passed the 3 hour. I will also say the 3 hour is not that bad, just make sure you have something to do ( I left my kindle at home and couldn't get my ipad to work so I was pretty bored)

I failed my one hour and passed my 3 hour as well.

I failed the one hour by A LOT (at my clinic 130 was borderline. My result was like 175.) and I passed the 3 hr with flying colors.

I failed the one hour with a number in the 160s during my first trimester and passed the three hour with flying colors (my mom had GD). Bring something to eat at the end!!! My final number was a 33.

BUT, I failed the one hour in the second trimester and got one high number with the three hour. My final number was a 50. The doctors' office wanted me to take it again and I refused so they're treating me as GD. It's not so bad. My weight gain has basically stopped - I even lost some weight - and I can still have some frozen yogurt.

I did. I was dumb and ate a bagel first.

Yep, failed it by one point!! Had to get below something like 132 and I got a 132, so I didnt really consider it failing but the Dr did. Passed the 3 hour no prob, but I still wanna gag thinking about that drink...ugh.

@Turtledoves - I completely agree with your OB! I failed the 1 hour, passed the 3 hour and was THEN told that almost 45% of women falsely fail the 1 hour. When I had my follow-up appointment, I asked our doctor when we're pregnant again if we could opt out of the 1 hour and go straight to the 3 hour because of this. He said many MANY women do just that. I asked why he doesn't recommend just the 3 hour and his response was because so many do pass it as well. Sigh.... GOOD LUCK!

I missed the cut off on the one hour but was fine on the three hour. I knew it was a mistake to schedule the one hour post-call, but it was my only option.

@lawbee11: I was asked to take my 1-hr GTT very early in the pregnancy (maybe 9/10 weeks). I think they were trying to do early intervention in case I do in fact have GD. I failed my 1-hr with a 145. But many say that the 1-hr GTT results can vary since some are not asked to fast at all. My doctor said it all depends on the last thing you ate/drink before the GTT.

At 12-weeks, I went in for my 3-hr GTT but I threw up the glucola the nurse who was assisting me said that I was taking the test awfully early in the pregnancy so she said some don't even feel a thing when they take the test the second time - which I would have to do.

My sister said she failed the 1-hr and passed the 3-hr. So I think you should be fine I'm hoping to pass mine too when I go back to take it.

Good luck!

@lawbee11: Thats great!

@lawbee11: glad you passed! My arms looked like that for a full 10 days afterwards...hope yours heal faster!

i did! i failed the 1 hour by 2 points. passed the 3 hour with flying colors - all three draws passed.

@MrsBucky: did you have gd with your first? I did the 2 hour which is diagnostic so I knew I had it as soon as results came back.
Honestly it's not that bad. While waiting I would just do your best to balance carbs and protein, so if you have something really carby, like ice cream, you'll also want to have something protein heavy, nuts work well, a protein bar. And I would avoid milk and cereal and white rice and pasta

How much did you fail by?

@MamaBear87: I got a 159. I did not have GD with my first, so I was genuinely surprised! I am sure it wouldn’t be so bad if I needed to do it, but the idea of it makes me so mad/ filled with dread. It feels like one more restriction on top of everything else.
@LCTBQE: I was driving when I got the call so I’m a bit confused. I did ask if I should change my diet and she said I *could* eat more similarly to if I was diagnosed but didn’t indicate I needed to. My guess is that they wouldn’t be mad if all pregnant ladies are like that anyway.

@MrsBucky: I did this twice. The first time, I did nothing and passed the three-hour test. The second time, I went off sweets for a week just in case, and passed the test again, only I was also a tired grumpy mess and almost passed out while testing. It wasn't worth it. So, no GD either time, no need for a diet, I just don't handle these tests well.

@LCTBQE: and please don't take any of this thread wrong way! I just felt so guilty when I had gd and I hate that alot of doctors do zero to explain to women that having gd has nothing to do with how you eat or what you did, anyone can have it!
