glucose test


i did the glucose test today for gestational diabetes. i didnt get the results yet but i just wanted to tell u girls its really not so bad. i thought it was gonna be awful and id throw up. ya the stuff is sweet but its not sickly. i took a bottle with a half a cup of lemon juice with and added it to the mix and it must have helped because i downed the cup in a min. there was even some powder left in the bottom and the nurse had to add a bit more water and it was fine. i had to hang around for an hour and then she took some blood.

so for all of you who are dreading it, honestly mine was fine. lets hope for good results.

I had one done in my first pregnancy. The drink wasn't that bad, but the three hours I had to sit in the clinic was dreadful!

Three hours I haven't been told anything about mine yet, hopefully it will be shorter than that!

I think they only do it if diabetes runs in the family or something ...

where i live it is done for everyone btw at about 24/25 wks.
i only had to wait one hour (50 mg). if the results come back with a problem they send you to do another one which you have to wait longer with. (100 mg)
as far as i know gestational diabetes and regular diabetes are not linked.

She will mention it if she sees sugar in your urine.
