Well, I failed my 1 hour glucose screening. This apparently is not cause for alarm yet, but I have to return in a few weeks to do a more thorough 3 hour screening. According to my Internet research, while 15-23% of the 1 hour results come back abnormal, only 2-7% of expectant moms end up with gestational diabetes.
I also am "a little bit anemic." So the doctor recommended adding an iron supplement to my daily routine.
On the bright side, the baby's heartbeat sounded good (145 bpm). And they can't say I haven't gained enough weight (40 lbs so far...)!
Next appointment is September 8th - for a check-up and the 3 hour glucose screening.
