GD possible, already?!?!? 12 weeks 4 days

so went to my monthly prenatal appt. at 11wk 3 days and had to turn in a 24hr urine and have the 1hr glucose tolerence test to check for Gestational Diabetes (since i had it during a prior pregnancy, they wanted to test early).. well needless to say i failed the one hour... so yesterday i went back and did my 3hr test.. first i couldn't eat for 8hr. but my appt. was at 1in the afternoon, so i hadnt ate since a late snack at 10pm the night before, so that put it at 15hrs... then i had to continue to fast until 4:30 when the test was complete, which meant i hadn't eaten or drank anything in 18+hrs.. and being 12 weeks and still getting nausea(especially when i havent eaten) to say the least, it was a miserable day!! so if i pass, i will still have to repeat the 1hr again at 28weeks like is normally given, but if i fail, i will be classified as extreme high risk due to complications that potentially could arise with developing GD so early in pregnancy.. which in that case i would visit the doc every 2 weeks instead of 4 and have repeat u.s. and tests to moniter and check on baby and myself.. im a bit worried but im hanging on to hope that i will pass and be cleared, at least for now, of GD... i was able to control the GD i had with my son with diet and excerise, but i didnt develope it until later in my pregnancy.. anyway on to something a bit more positive, ive only gained 1 lb in the last 12+ weeks, super stoked about that!! another good thing is my second trimester is now just around the corner which again is so exciting!! well besides the waiting for the results of my GD screening, everything seems to be going as is suppose to... most symptoms have gone besides the occasional nausea and fatigue, which is still mostly mild... so now i wait and enjoy my pregnancy and continue to be thankful for everything in my life!! bring on the second trimester!!! :P
