Ive got to go into hospital for a fasting blood test thing is I have no idea why and I dont have to go until Im 28 weeks any ideas ladies (I did just accept this from my midwife she was really unhelpful when I went in last time)

I was told (and this could be different where you are) that if I had the test in the morning to eat a light breakfast, if I went in the afternoon to eat a good breakfast and a light lunch.

on my notes it says its to see if your rhesus negative or positive an for a diabetes test and a general haemoglobin levels and iron/folic acid is that what u wanted to know or was it asking why u have to fast? soz got preggo head on total lack of brain lol

Could it be for the O´Sullivan test where they get you to drink a glucose drink then take blood an hour later to test for gestational diabetes? I had that test this week, waiting for the results at the mo!!

Good morning hun, I have to go in for the same at 28 weeks. Its the GLUSOSE test lol.... I am rhesus O neg therefore must have the diabetes test were you fast then drink a glucose drink, then they test your blood sugar levels an hour later.

My friend had this too at 28 weeks and her blood group is positive but has gestational diabetes throughout her pregnancy.

Hope this helps

I do because i have a type 2 diabetic in the family. Have u been advised not to have anything but water after midnight?

I had the glucose test too!!! I had to drink the disgusting fluid an hour before, and not eat or drink anything in between!!! It was gross!!!
No results back = good news right!?!?

im assuming that, I had the downs and some other tests (forget the proper names half asleep lol) but i haven't had the results so when i saw my doctor i asked him, he said i assume you would of been contacted if they wasn't satisfactory dont worry. didn't even bother to ring or anything.
Ill have to get m/w to chase them up for me.

to test diabetes. You will have blood test then get given a drink then an hour later you will be given another blood test. I have to have this at 28 weeks aswell! It's a long day at the hopsital :P

Im sure your bloods are fine vicki!!! Its bad they dont let you know i know!!
I got my results from my first blood test like 8 weeks later!! they stick it in my maternity notes!!!

mine was to test diabetes.... but only had one blood test and didnt need to go hospital!!! Strange how different countys have different variations!!!
