    Yuck lol. If even one level is high you have to retake it, do not eat or drink anything even chewing gum could chance it, and when finished don't eat anything sugary.. stupid me drank 3 hi c juice boxes n ate a lunchable n was so sick and dizzy. Good luck

    Glad to hear the baby is doing great! :) I had heard and read horrible things about the glucose test also and I was super worried because I have a weak stomach but maybe I'm just weird because I honestly didn't think it was bad at all :) I drank it all in like 2 minutes. Goodluck!

    Don't eat many carbs the day before! Out anything the morning before. I periodically didn't think the drink was that bad, I wouldn't want it daily but it's definitely doable. My ob also recommended to bring a snack for after the test... Something not sweet like peanutbutter crackers

    When do you have to do this and why whats it for? Sorry first time mommy ha!

    Thanks ladies! Hopefully its not that bad and she mentioned not being able to eat anything afterwards for an hr or something @blushing_mommy its a drink they make you take to test your sugar levels and also to find out if you have diabetes and etc they do blood work too.

    If you get a choice get the fruit punch not the orange. Gag that orange after taste is udder foul

    I had fruit punch also and it was good to me it taste just like a regular fruit punch drink and my doctors did my test at 28 weeks every doctors is different
  • JnettePJnetteP
    @blushing_mommy I will be about 27 weeks on my next visit so I'm guessing around then is when they do it

    @beaded_bunny I hope I do get a choice I know the orange one is the most common ewk!
