Well, that isn't what I wanted to hear...
We had another doctor's appointment today. We were really looking forward to it since we were getting to have another ultrasound to get a few views that the baby wouldn't allow last time. That bright thought was enough to make me not dread the glucose test I knew was coming. I obediently chugged that orange gunk down so fast that the lab techs went, "Whoa she is done already!" and waited my hour. Eventually we had the ultrasound and get another look at our little boy with Jacob awwing and how cuting all through the procedure before getting to see the doctor. The doctor gave us the news that the baby is absolutely great. The heart and neck look wonderful. (Everything else was checked last time.) And then he looked at me and said those words no pregnant woman wants to hear- "You failed your glucose test." Now I have to go back next week and have the three hour test. The doctor really wanted me to know that failing this test doesn't mean I have gestational diabetes, just that I might have gestational diabetes. Yay! (sarcasm there!) I am really praying that I do not have gestational diabetes. Hubby and I have been really trying to make excuses for why I failed- I am running a fever, I was absolutely starving, etc. I don't know if any of those can affect the result but we are hoping! Really we are just hoping and praying for good results next week!
