Sadly, I'm just looking for a reason. It's hard to believe that this just came out of nowhere.

Usually when they use "estimated average glucose" it means that they tested your A1C and have converted it to mg/dL number. I think they do this because most people are more familiar with the mg/dL result.
There are some conditions that can cause your A1C number to be inaccurate - pregnancy is one of them because the turnover of red blood cells varies depending on how far along you are. Definitely go back for another glucose check.
