3rd Trimester

Unnecessary tests?? WWYD?

I'm a little aggravated because my OB called and wants me to take the 3 hour GTT test because, even though I passed the 1 hour, the results were "elevated". I checked online and the normal range for fasting 1 hour is 65 to 95 - I got an 83. Maybe it's just because I don't want to sit through a 3 hour test, but does that seem "elevated" to anyone else? At my last visit she ordered bloodwork to check my thyroid because I gained 7 lbs in a month. I'm currently 30 weeks and only gained 10 prior to the 7 lb jump. I told her that I had my thyroid tested not even a year ago and it was normal but she insisted I check again because sometimes thyroid issues surface during pregnancy. Part of me thinks I should just do what's recommended to rule out any possible issues, but there's something inside telling me that she's pushing the tests because she's getting something out of it. It just seems like something new is ordered at every visit.
