So I failed my 1-hour glucose test, twice, so because of my history of big babies, and family history of diabetes, my midwife wanted me to take the 3-hour fasting test. I was not excited, but I did it anyway. It wasn't that bad, just boring. You fast for 8 hours, then they draw your blood. Then they give you a delicious....not...sugar drink and draw your blood every hour for 3 hours after that. They were nice enough to give me a blanket and pillow and I brought the ipad to keep me entertained. I am happy to say I passed, I do not have gestational diabetes. But, I have still been trying to watch my sugar intake so hopefully this baby won't be another 10.9 pounder like baby Joshua!
