OB told me I might have GESTATIONAL DIABETES, anybody had this while pregnant?

I am worried now because when I went to see my OB and she told me that my sugar was high when she got the result of my bloodwork. She wanted me to do bloodwork again to make sure that I don't have gestational diabetes at this late stage of my pregnancy (am already on my 36th week). Now, this got me worried because I never had any problems with my first pregnancy. I had to do another glucose test, stayed at the clinic for almost 4 hours while they draw blood every hour. Anybody had this problem while they were pregnant? I am so worried right now and stressed out because it will be bad for the baby. My tummy is not that huge and I am not gaining any weight these past couple of weeks when I have my check-ups. My OB told me she doesn't want me delivering a 9 lbs+ baby (coz my first was 8 lbs 1/2, normal) and am scared of C-section. I will know the result by Monday and until then, I just can't stop worrying.
