I'm Currently Feeling:  | I would say about a 4 or a 5. It really wasn't that bad. Mine was orange flavored, and VERY carbonated. It was cold, so that helped. You only have 5 minutes to drink it, so that kinda sucked, and you get a major sugar rush afterwards, but honestly...the taste isn't that bad..just like oversweetened orange soda. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Oh, the one nice thing about my midwife, she doesn't make me drink that stuff. She does it a totally different way, I think she mentioned something about a huge breakfast! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | The reason I had one at 14 weeks is cause I am overweight. They wanted to test early to catch it early, if I had it. Luckily the results came out PERFECT! WOO HOO! I have to have another one at 24 weeks. Joy. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Mine is in my fridge so I can take it before I go in for my visit. Every time I open the fridge OH wants to drink it because it looks like orange soda  He says just tell them the bottle broke and get a new one!! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | i had my glucose test at 12 weeks and it was fine, i think coz i live in the UK the drink is different they give us the original lucozade a whole bottle to drink (which i love and crave) so i had no problem drinking it, then i waited an hour and had my blood test done |
