..and just to say it wasnt as bad as I'd thought. Having a huge glass of sugary water wouldnt be my ideal choice of breakfast but it wasnt as awful as I'd feared - just tasted like water with some icing sugar in it.


So there we go.

I never had a glucose test. My doctor said it's not necessary as high BP is a good indication of gestational diabetes and I had normal BP. I wouldnt of minded to have it done though. Well,good luck with your results! Hope they are normal!

yes they gave me a bottle of lucozade alltho im sure i saw them opening all the bottles first and adding stuff in them but it still tasted like lucozade but i had to drink it in 5 mins and i felt so sick lol then i kept burping in the waiting room xxx

I didn't mind the drink so much but it was the three hours sitting in the clinic. BORING! I had the test done when pregnant with my first child and I still remember it well. LOL

I have gestational diabetes yet I have never had a high BP. My baby is 100% normal size. I think the only way to be certain is to at least have the 1 hour test. I was really surprised I have it.

tinytoes, hope your levels are normal

Good luck TT.

My midwife does the GD test totally different. No drink. I gave a bit of blood, had a big ole breakfast, waited 2 hours, and then did another finger prick. Done! I love her!!!

That's how my midwife did things with my first pregnancy! I don't understand the fasting/high glucose drink. I think it gives inaccurate results.
