Fail...

I failed the initial glucose test for gestational diabetes. Now I have to go in for the 3-hour test in which they draw blood 4 times. Vampires.

I'm really really hoping that I don't have it :(

I'm sorry you have to go through the test, but even if you do have it, it's not that big of a deal. If you don't remember, I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant with Julie, and not much changed other than I had to pay a bit more attention to what I ate...

Loretta, that makes me feel a little better actually. I don't remember that you had it (I was young and clueless...not much has changed probably...). But I was a little nervous because Allyson's friend was diagnosed with it and she's only gained 4lbs her entire pregnancy because of the diet. :S

I gained very little weight with both my pregnancies (10-ish pounds with Julie and 5 pounds with Ally, and I didn't even have gestational diabetes with Ally), and both Julie and Ally were perfectly fine and healthy. I know it's easier said than done, but try not to worry. It really isn't that big of a deal.
