Anyone score right at cutoff for 1hr glucose test and pass 3hr one? 😩

I got a 135 which is their cutoff even though the actual results say normal is under 140. Going to do the 3hr one on Monday 🤞🏼

Moderate risk of early labour

I’ve just had my 16 week midwife appointment and was told I’m at moderate risk of having the baby early. She didn’t really explain much other than this meaning I’d have a couple of extra scans later on. Has anyone else been told this? Should I be worried?
