Hi new to the group and need some help

I had my bypass May 2003. I got pregnante in Feburary unplanned but
it happened, So far I gained 13 pounds and I am 31 weeks. I was
forced to do the 3 hour gluecose test, which is 10oz of the sugar
syrup in 5 minutes then they check your sugar levels every hour. Well
the fasting draw was fine, the 1 hour (which I dumped terribly was a
little elevated) the 2 and 3 hour draw where fine. So now they are
trying to make me do it again. What do they think I mean in the first
hour my system was in shock.

Did anyone else go through things like this? What did your ob do for
you? I was never Diabetic with my other 2 sons

Help

    well——pg diebeteis does happen —–maybe watch your diet very very
    closely and do not do follow up test—just tell dr to act as if –you have
    elevated sugar —diebetic diet could not hurt–I am thinking

    Jessie, When I was pregnant with my third child I was borderline diabetic
    and had to go thru several 12 hr tests. They do this because it is not uncommon
    for a woman to turn diabetic during pregnancy and not even know it. I had a
    dear friend who did just that, went into a diabetic coma and had to be
    airlifted to a hospital to be treated. I know it is uncomfortable, but let the
    doctors do what they have to do. Better safe than sorry.

    Sorry Jessie, I stand corrected. Ask the doctor if you can just do the
    testing on a daily basis at home without having to drink the glucose. BTW I did
    turn diabetic but not during the pregnancy.
