I'm Currently Feeling:  | Blood Sugar Test?
I went for my nurses interview today and she gave me my slip for blood work (to do tomorrow) and said it would take over an hour cause I have to drink this fruity sweet stuff and sit around an hour and then have blood taken? I'm assuming that's a glucose test or something...she didn't say what it was for? Anyone else take it? Just how awful does it taste?? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I liked it actually  kinda tasted like orange pop lol, the only thing that bothered me was trying to drink it in 5 minutes.
I didn't get mine done til I was about 26-28 weeks though. I didn't know they tested so early in other places. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | The nurse told me they test early on and then at 20-22 weeks. Maybe it's just cause I'm fat w/o a baby in me, LOL! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I believe its a routine check for all pregnancies, but I'm not 100% sure. Its not so bad but I never had it done at 8-9 weeks. PBM your a brave woman, I don't think I could handle that stuff if I was still suffering from morning sickness  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Im also overweight with family history of diabetes, so I asked on Wed when I would have mine done. They said they generaly do it at 28 weeks, but for me I dont know what they will do because Ive had prior abdomen surgery and dont think I can drink the whole thing in 5 mins. I kinda thought 28 weeks seemed long |
