Mine was a 145. My doctor actually hasn't called me yet but the cutoff on the online portal says 135.
First, good luck to both of you with the 3hr tests!
I have to say, I hate the unit of measure for BG in the states. Mg/dl seems so much more drastic than mmol/l. For reference, glb30 your BG was 169mg/dl which is 9.4mmol/l. caer you were 145, which sounds a fair bit less than glb but it is actually only 8.1mmol/l. They are pretty close. While those are high values in a non-diabetic, they are not outrageous or scary especially only 1hr after carb intake. Single digits dont even register as being worrisome to me, but I know thats just my lyfe.
Like, if I tested 1hr after a meal and was either of those numbers I would be satisfied. 3hrs is a BIG time difference to bring that number down. 135mg/dl is 7.5mmol/l. You are both SO CLOSE. Even if you fail the 3hr, you are by no means running dangerously high BGs. You're just a little insulin resistant and may need to adjust your diet a bit to exclude some slower burning carbs, or take some insulin. It'll be fine! Just remember, this is only temporary
I agree with @obi. You are both so close that if you do have GD you will probably be able to manage it with diet.
Out of curiosity, when does one need to start worrying about the baby being breech? Every ultrasound we've had, he's been either sideways or breech.
And how do you tell if they flip? Kicks to the lungs rather than the bladder? I'm getting kicks down to the left right now, have been for two days.
I think it's one of those things that is a game day decision. Mine have been head down, transverse and breech. C section is scheduled as a back up/last resort eviction date.
obi thank you for explaining that! It seriously just made me feel so much better. I only spoke to a nurse, and I tend to get anxious over medical stuff in general. Hearing that this was borderline and I'm not walking around with out of control blood sugar really helped cut off the runaway train that my thoughts were becoming.
No problem! Tag me any time if you have questions or need some reassurance That goes for everyone!

That's good to know! I didn't know they could turn so late in the game. I haven't done much research on it yet honestly, since it's still so early. I'm just starting to get curious since he's been favoring a certain spot, which I think is almost kinda transverse.
The dog got me up early on my day off and I ended up looking at my registry and impulsively bought a baby bjorn bouncer because it's 42% off on amazon right now.
was it a certain color or model? I have one of these on my registry too!
Yeah, only the black and brown ones were on sale for 42% off - the other ones varied

From some of the stories on the multiples board, people have said that babies have flipped up to an hour before a c-section.
