I haven't had mine yet (currently 24 weeks). My midwife said between 26-28 weeks.

I think it was 27 or 28 weeks, and then I had to do the 3-hr a week later.

Around 27 weeks, i think? It was right in the middle of all of our holiday festivities, I was really worried I wouldn't pass!

I was supposed to have it at 28 weeks (I'm 26.5 right now) but DH will be out of town for that appointment & I really want his company when I'm chugging the sugary crap. So my midwife gave me the ok to postpone to 29 weeks.

I did my 1 hour at 27 weeks (woudl have been 28, but I bumped my appointment up because we were going out of town for a week and a half), barely failed it, and then came back and did the 3 hour at 29 weeks.

I did my 1 hour last week at 28 weeks, failed it, and I'm doing the 3 hour test tomorrow at 29 weeks.

28 weeks! It was probably mentioned to me at my 24 week appointment.

1 hour at 27 weeks, 3 hour at 29 weeks. They mentioned it at my 24 week appointment.

I had the test at 26 weeks - I had a fair few of the risk factors, too (and I had GD, it transpired).

I got mine super early, at like 9 or 10 weeks because I had elevated A1c levels. Just FYI for everyone - the longer you put it off the more likely you are to fail. The placenta blocks insulin to some extent in most women, and the effect happens more strongly the further along you are.

@MrsCB: my dr tells you to schedule it around 28 or 29 weeks. I couldn't have gone earlier.

@Jennimac: I guess some practices aren't flexible with that kind of stuff. I just wanted everyone to know you're more likely to fail the test the further along you are.

I had to switch doctors and it took a while to get a new one, so I didn't take my test until around 34 weeks.

With DS, I took the one hour at 16 weeks and 28 weeks. I passed both.
This pregnancy has been a mess! I had to take the 1 hour at 8 weeks and failed it by 4 points. I took the 3 hour at 20ish weeks but there was a lab error. I took it again a couple of weeks ago, around 26 weeks.

This pregnancy 22 weeks. My midwife suggested I get it "early" because I had to go to the lab at that time for other bloodwork anyway. Regardless she gave me the script to have it done before my next appointment, so by 26 weeks. I think I had it done with DS at around 26 weeks. Passed both easily.
